You cannot replace levitate because the Pokémon wouldn't make sense

in most cases, it's like it makes sense for it to have levitate but it doesn't make sense for it not to have levitate in any case

imagine hitting latios with earthquake.
like, ever.

What is bronzong?

Bronzong.

>>27114202
But then you have shit like EQs hitting Magnezone/ton and Chandelure despite them floating too.
Really, it shouldn't even matter in the first place.

They probably thought that it would be unfair for balance, as if you know a pokemon can have levitate, you will never use a ground move on it. Therefore they don't want to give a pokemon a second ability it could benefit from while indirectly benefiting from levitate by the opponent never using ground moves.

Bronzong is one of the only exceptions, as it kind of had a gimmick where it only had two weaknesses, with two abilities to mitigate both.

HA duskull as well is frisk, which doesn't really make it problematic because it is an announced abilitiy

>>27114106
Having no other ability sucks, but Levitate is sort of an ability most people take for granted, though. A free immunity to Earthquake is more valuable with more than half of physical attackers relying on it for coverage.

>vikavolt was cursed with levitate, which means it will always be overshadowed by galvantula bar some extremely unique moves/stats

What are the odds it will get gale spark as its hidden ability?

DELETE THIS!

>>27114400
could've just went the mold breaker route

"Latias is levitating above the ground"

also quite gay buecase there are other abilities that make a pokemon immune and none of those are exclusive abilities

you mean one or the other

bug resists ground. Vikavolt does not have a ground weakness
