>pokemon doesn't have a second ability
>its hidden ability is trash
>first ability is nothing to write home about
>>24916053
Which abilities would help Ampharos?
>>24916053
>Ability 1: Levitate
>Secret ability does the exact same thing as one of its other abilities
>>24916063
Regular: Static / Volt Absorb
HA: Simple
Mega: Teravolt
>>24916063
But Plus/Minus is great. Use Magnetic Flux and go full bulk, then Mega for max damage.
>>24916079
At least with Bronzong you can play mind games and have one with Heatproof and just have people assume it has Levitate, they'd be 2spookied to try a ground move.
>>24916063
it has a mega its fine
now volcarona has average abilities
>>24916079
>Lower stage has superior HA
>evolution doesnt have HA
>no mega
guess who
>>24916102
Top Flygon
>>24916101
Pokemon with ability mind games are great like dugtrio etc etc
>>24916127
How's that work? I don't use Dugtrio
>mon has access to great moves but no reliable Abilities
>>24916169
I can't imagine what Chatot would want.
>mon has GOAT ability in gen V
>gets changed in gen VI to something mediocreguess
>>24916053
>Serperior gets Contrary
>Emboar gets Reckless
>Samurott gets fucking Shell Armor
Why does GF hate my bro?
>>24916135
he has Arena trap and After math
95% of dugtrios have Arena trap
so everyone thinks there trapped
>>24916195
Chandelure
>>24916195
>>24916203
Also Zapdos.
>>24916188
Ideally something better than early game shitmon stuff like Big Pecks and Keen Eye. Prankster would be awesome just because of Encore and Substitute and would make sense with it mimicking sounds / being a trollmon but I would take what I can get.
>>24916169
Chatot's moveset is the only reason why I try to make it work so much.
Boomburst was a blessing and ORAS gave Heat Wave back to it which it couldn't have together in XY.
>Pokemon has three abilities
>All of them are fucking useless on it
What other Mons suffer from this terrible fate besides Aerodactyl?
>>24916266
pyroar
pyroar
HOLY SHIT PYROAR
its only fucking use is having unnerve and completely shutting down harvest trevenant
>>24916203
dugtrio has arena trap, sand veil and sand force. no after math
there aren't many good examples but vital spirit electivire could work
>>24916092
>Delibird face
>>24916101
It's a shame the massive buff to Knock Off and the nerf to Steel types pretty much killed Bronzong's usability.
>>24916330
>tfw steel was nerfed just to give aegislash more weaknesses
>>24916348
and Metagross
>>24916354
>implying metagross needed it
M-Metagross, maybe, if you want to believe that gamefreak planned that far ahead
>>24916375
they usually do
>>Magician
>>24916053
>Weavile is the sharp claw pokemon
>Has one regular ability that is garbage
>HA is garbage
>Doesn't get tough claws
>>24916450
Worst thought out ability in the game. It should swap items, not steal them.
Flygon. Everything about Flygon is a mess
>Trapinch needs to wait until level 89 to learn its last move (Looks like they fixed that shit in XY at least)
>Outclassed by Garchomp
>Was supposed to get a mega in XY but didn't
>Instead gets outclassed again by a random legendary
>Levitate isn't anything to write home about
>Random stat pool that doesn't make it strong in any particular field
>Needs to be scarf'd to stand a chance
The only good thing is her wide movepool
Metagross
I'm not sure why they even considered that halving weight should be an ability at all.
>>24916348
>steel was nerfed just to give aegislash more weaknesses
>the steel nerf is ironically what makes aegislash so fucking busted to begin with because it's also a huge buff to ghost
>>24916101
>bronzong floats in the air on a balloon!
>forretress used volt Switch!
>bronzong's balloon popped!
>the opponent sent out Garchomp!
>bronzong used reflect!
>Garchomp used Earthquake!
>Bronzong makes ground moves miss with levitate!
>your opponent has disconnected
>>24916266
if only aerodactyl got access to head smash
Crobat deserves gale wings. When golbat evolves, more than half his BST increase is put into speed alone. He has absolutely no other stand out or relevant qualities, he's fast flying type: the pokemon. Unlike talonflame he doesn't have any physical boosting moves or a usable second stab, just give him his fucking sanic brave birds.
>>24917379
crobat deserves to stay a shitmon forever
>>24917379
>Gale Wings Crobat
Fuck no. Crobat would be OP with that shit. Defensive Talonflame is common, I can only imagine how annoying priority roost Crobat would be. You wouldn't have to put EVs in Speed and just dump everything in HP and defense.
>>24916375
>M-Metagross
>stuttering
>>24917449
Crobat doesn't get bulk up, and despite gale wings, curse's speed drop would still negatively impact Crobat by preventing it from getting fast taunts off. Also it unlike talonflame can be burned, doesn't have swords dance, a complete shit second stab, no will o wisp, it's missing a ton of what makes talonflame good and only has 9 more points in attack to compensate.
>>24916053
>Normal ability is the same as hidden ability
>>24916202
Because it's the worst designed Pokémon in the franchise
>>24917459

Stopped reading there.
>>24916094
>Mega: Teravolt
That's the same thing.
>>24917379
I wish Crobat got a niche that wasnt a bulky Brave Birder
>Pidgeot is capable of flying at twice the speed of sound
>talonflame's speed is actually close to an actual bird's
>Pidgeot doesnt have Gale Wingsor Sing
>2 good abilities
>Same speed teir as magneton
>shit move pool
>>24917379
well Crobat already good an offensive abilty or a good defensive ability be great but hes the full evolution of cave cancer
>>24917379
Super fang should be a level up move for Crobat.
>>24917494
>not finding stuttering cute :3
>>24916375
"Megagross" saves you more time when typing than "M-Metagross"
Plus you don't gotta worry about stuff like >>24917459
>>24916530
When are people gonna learn that a Sharp claw and a Tough claw are two different things.
>>24916530
Sharpness, hardness, and toughness are three different things.
>pokemon has a hidden ability but only one normal ability
>pokemon with only one ability traditionally only receive a second ability in a later gen if said second ability debuts that gen
>two pokemon with only one ability are perfect contenders for gen VI abilities and didn't get them in gen VI
>pokemon has a mega but is still pretty mediocre
What's xer name?
>Only 1 ability
>Ability's only purpose is to counter just 2 pokemon
>Can't even do that right
>Prveiously banned in official settings, despite its 600 BST
>No one is going to use it in VGC now that better shit is allowed
I really hope 2016 is kind to Zygarde
>>24919362
At least there's this.
>>24919784
DICK KNEES
Not a terrible pokemon, but hotdamn its ability works against it more than for it.
>Pokemon's mega ability is the exact same as its normal ability
>>24922013

RIP in peace Audino and Heracross
>>24927722
Heracross Mega Ability is still good.
>>24927722
>and Heracross
Skill Link is a great ability though. It's just not a huge enough upgrade to really be worth the item loss.
>>24927698
Oh Ive never used Pyroar
>>24927731
MHeracross have enough power under its belt anyway. I like that MHeracross is a side grade instead of a direct upgrade, you can use both anyway since they have different play styles.
Heracross is my favorite Pokémon and I'm very pleased with its Mega, my favored Mega isAerodactylbut MHeracross is alright, at least for me.
>pressure
:^)))))
>>24916101
I used to do that a lot in gen v showdown. People just assumed you'd be using Levitate and never used ground moves on him. Fire moves were weaker but people rarely caught on. A shame that you couldn't switch into any ground moves though.
Meloetta got pretty Jewed. It would be a top threat if it got something useable like tri attack.
>>24917491
Samurott is bad, but Landorus is still the worst, bro.
