  • There are over 300 abilities in the Pokemon series, but several of them are identical to each other. Today let's take a look at clone abilities, as well as a few that are slight upgrades of clones. Which ability clones are best for a nuzlocke challenge? What ability do a building and a fish have in common? Will Elias delete the channel? All that and more today on MEPlaysGames.

    I'd like Emergency Exit to get a buff so that it's actually a tactical retreat. Perhaps rather than immediately switching Golisopod out, it switches out after its next attack, like U turn or Volt Switch, when it reaches less than half health.

      ​@BluePhoenix_ I think the point was for it to escape before the next hit.
      So if to opponent is faster, you leave after the move this turn.
      If you are faster, you escape after using your move on the next turn.

    Shell Armor is used by Hisuian Goodra. It uses Shelter to increase its Defence and boost damage of Body Press. With its naturally high Special Defence, it is hard to KO. However, with its low speed and high defences it will take a lot of hits and eventually be one will be a critical hit. Shell Armor makes this impossible.
    Emergency Exit is supposed to work with First Impression, 90 BP +2 Priority move, but can only be used at the Pokemon's first turn like fake out. It's supposed to use First Impression, take a hit, trigger Emergency Exit and use it again after.

    Here's my attempt at making many of those redundant abilities better:
    Solid Rock also boosts Rock STAB
    Battle Armor boosts Def; Shell Armor boosts Sp Def
    Turboblaze boosts fire STAB; Teravolt boosts electric STAB
    Grim Neigh makes all ghost moves sound attacks, therefore able to hit through Substitute; same for Chilling Neigh with ice moves
    Just tack on a type damage bonus or a stat boost on some of those abilities and hopefully that'll give them some niche in competitive

    I never knew that Duraludon is that light. It is lighter than my extremely underweight self, but then when it evolves, it goes above my weight. I would probably say it would be a different thing for the average healthy person with my age and heught, no matter the gender. Im not saying Im unhealthy, I just have an overwhelming amount of metabolism that it just burns almost all the weight I gain from eating (Im 105 lbs, and I am almost 6 feet. It would be more concerning if I was above the age of 20, but I'm not that far away from 20)
