It definitely has Chlorophyll, and you'll need to link to a source for Own Tempo not preventing self-inflicted confusion, because I've heard the opposite several times.The in-game trade Lilligant does have Own Tempo, however it was proven a while ago that Own Tempo does not prevent Petal Dance confusion.
I'm still failing to see any real benefit to splitting them, aside from maybe Sawk/Throh. The In-game Trade Pokemon don't have nearly enough difference from their normal versions to justify making the distinction. If we really wanted, we could split the list based on Ability or nature, too, but it makes far more sense to just factor all those variables into the calculation from the start.TM13IceBeam said:Only 6 more 'mons' are added to the tier list FYI, so it doesn't clog up the tier list at all.
Both should be Low for the same reason that the Kamis should be low - they are too much of a pain to get a usable one. It's telling that it's arguably easier to catch the roamers, since you can just lob your Master Ball at them (and the Master Ball isn't really needed for anything else in-game, so you might as well).White Sawk: Mid. High Atk/Spd makes it worthwhile, but the time taken is plain bs. The time for a Sturdy one is even more bs.
Black Throh: Low Mid. Better bulk, but not really so worthy ingame. Can't hit very hard.
While he's not amazing, he does have enough utility to keep him out of Low, in my opinion. Priority Stun Spore, Charm, Tailwind, and so forth gives him some use even if he ends up getting himself killed almost immediately. And with all the boosts, his SpA is at least borderline passable.IGT Whimsicott: Low. It's Whimsicott. Sucks a lot. Only good use is Stun Spore, the Modest 31 doesn't help IMO.
Cottonee should be Lower Mid in all variations, since he's lacking offensively, but he is one of the best utility options in-game (which you shouldn't want/need, but it's still an option).
Honestly, considering how late Lilligant learns Petal Dance, I'd actually say that Chlorophyll is arguably the better ability. While I wouldn't try it since it forces you to choose between Giga Drain and Sleep Powder, Sunny Day + Growth + Solar Beam sets up faster than Quiver Dance will until Petal Dance comes around.IGT Lilligant: High. Now if it was Own Tempo, I would say insta-top lol.
@Cicada: I'm not even going to bother responding to you beyond
A) Your only 100% accurate Rock attack sucks, and if you get hit post-Shell Smash you're in trouble, especially if you get hit by a Special Attack.
B) How are you outspeeding Sigilyph, even after a Shell Smash? Indeed, any other 90+ Speed Pokemon might give you trouble depending on your IVs.
