the pokemon that got cheated

<< < (6/9) > >>

BlueFairy:
It's a nice lead, but i kind of like her as a status inducer rather than a lead/sacrificial lamb (more so in a mono ice team). She's the only ice poke that can switch in a fighting move, and with her speed she can easily paralyze or confuse her target first.

Chad29:
I won't argue that speed boost is kind of overpowered. Ninjask is a well known speed booster, and it's quite hard to keep him from passing speed boost to some slow but powerful pokemon unless you have a multihit move to punch through substitute. Or feint to punch through protect.

Tickles:
Every single pokemon got cheated, you name it, it got cheated. Most of these new abilities are pointless for the older gens, since some of them don't make sense, like the unnerve ability, which I feel is a filler ability. I have yet to find an opponent that loves berries for that ability. I don't care how you analyze it, I don't care what set you have that makes it usable, the point is, they all were cheated, hands down. This thread isn't about battle strategy, it's about what got cheated and why.

Houndoom for one with Unnerve (yeah, I'm going there). It limits his move pool for an ability I wouldn't wipe my *** with if it was printed on toilet paper.

Chad29:
Unnerve isn't the worst ability out there. Berries can do a lot of things like heal status, reduce damage, and boost stats. They've expanded on berries quite a bit, so they made an ability to keep the opponent from using them. Sure it's not as cool as speed boost, mold breaker, or the abilities that give immunities, but it's not awful.

I know the rindo berry has saved my Swampert's butt a number of times from a surprise grass attack, and then there's the sub petaya Empoleon set.

Yes it's situational, but it's not worthless.

deadae:
unnerve is one of the few things that destroys my exeggutor wall with harvest and chesto berry
