What are Hackmons and Glitchmons?

Pleaselog inorregisterto add a comment.

Hackmons is a tier where there is absolutely no rules. Any Pokemon, no species clause, no sleep clause, nothing. Any Pokemon can learn any move you want. Any thing goes.

Glitchmons is where you use Pokemon that can learn mimic. They can use any move you want but you cannot change your ability. You could use regular Pokemon, but I’d highly suggest abusing the powers of using any move.

Glitchmons is centered around the intricate Mimic glitch. Any Pokémonthat can learn the move Mimic, Copycat, Metronome, Transform, orAssist in generation 4 has access to this glitch, which allows them tolearn any move in the game. This means that all generation 5 Pokémonand Dream World abilities are illegal with this glitch. Pokémon mayalso have one move of their choice from generation 5 if they aretransferred to BW with the move Sketch. Numerous Pokémon have accessto this glitch from the generation 3 tutors. Besides the Mimic glitch,every Pokémon is legal in Glitchmons and all Clauses are off.

Hackmons is a bit different from the norm. You may use any Pokémon youwant, as well as any ability, 252 EVs in every stat, and any move youwant on said Pokémon. There are also no Clauses. This creates anincredibly absurd metagame that has endless possibilities. WonderGuard is one of the most popular strategies to utilize, with GastroAcid, Mold Breaker, and various residual damage moves popping up tocounter it. Sorry to break the ice, but your Wondertomb is far frominvincible. There are so many possibilities that instead of trying tocounter every strategy out there, one should instead simply try tosuccessfully execute their own strategy. Every so often the ladder istaken by storm by a new strategy… which is subsequently followed byseemingly endless bitching. This happens in the standard metagames toone degree as well, but it is not personified as much as it is here.Creativity is the key to being successful in this metagame. - SmogonUniversity

Yeah, that’s about it.

Hackmkonsare where you can have Pokemon with any ability and 252 EVs in each stat. Some examples would be Contrary Draco Meteor Mewtwo, or Imposter Blissey.

Glitchmonsis when you can only have Pokemon that can be obtained or changed with glitches. I’m pretty sure there was some Mimic thing in Gen III, but I don’t know, I don’t play Glitchmons.

Hope I helped!
