Just chipping in - flavor abilities are never useless, they are just not competitive. The only pokemon to have a literally useless (save in very specific cases) ability is Rotom-F. With that in mind, I'd vote for Illuminate considering the natural Vampire Squid bioluminescence.

Guys, here's my Rotom: How It Get Burnt (Rotom-Wash) @ Leftovers Ability: Levitate EVs: 252 SDef / 252 HP / 4 SAtk Calm Nature - Overheat - Discharge - Protect - Will-O-Wisp This guy is surprisingly good at tanking Mega Khan. What you do is Protect the Fake Out and then burn Kanga when shes...

Crawdaunt has a thing over Gyarados, though -- it resists everything that Blaziken is weak to, and viceversa. Considering the issues with its speed, it sounds to me like he's a good BP teammate. He also provides decent coverage with Scolipede's weaknesses.

This hasn't been said before, but if you can predict a Defog, Malamar gets a free Double-team from it. So while not really blocking it, it can set up better as a sweeper after.

Hi! I know I'm no CAPer but I just wanted to say I like Reptile's and Doug's submissions best because you can feel the steel typing better with the larger decorations. Perhaps it could have some sort of metal straps around its ankles to drive the Steel typing home?

For the Game of Thrones references, duh!

Hey there, CAP! I've had this cool idea for quite a few days and I just had to share it. Maybe you find it cool. Concept: Take a really bad pairing for competitive use - preferably with a high amount of Weaknesses and a low amount of resistances. Then, make a pokemon with that type -- and then...

What would be the WORST type combination (including unreleased combinations) for a bulky or defensive (or sp. defensive) pokemon? Just a hypothetical.

Do we know which moves do pokemon learn already? Because if Houndoom learned a Fairy-type attack that would be awesome.

Why not a -Atk nature?

1. What kind of Fairy-type moves are going to be seen? Who will be able to learn them? 2. What mons were hard-countered by popular Dragon-mon? Those might be able to shine. 3. Poison is now even better as a defensive typing. Who gets boosted by this? 4. Scrafty more like Shafty (because he...

What would you do versus a ground lead, or more likely, a ground/steel or ground/whatever-resists-bug lead?

What can Swellow do Starraptor can? Might you consider switching them?

CONFUSED ON THE TITLE: This is not strictly BL-OU. Crobat @ Leftovers Timid / Inner Focus 160 HP, 132 Attack, 218 Spe ~ Hypnosis ~ Taunt ~ U-turn ~ Air Slash My lead, fast Hypnosis, fast Taunt, kills grass, bugs and earthquake reliant pokemon. It can also leave a pretty bad scar on Dark and...

Well, for example, I could imagine that a Fire/Fighting pokemon like Blaziken or more importantly Infernape could be terrible for me, but that's just one thing I can think of.

What's the main issues of it? What pokemon are good complements to it? Which members are generally invaluable (like Abomasnow) and which are seemingly good choices, but in the end bad (no idea about examples, but I just see anything with Snoak Cloak and I think its a good idea?)? Anyhow...

That's very helpful, Houndoom, thanks. Gonna be a pain to redo it whole but okay. Can I get more recommendations on special tanks, and other nice changes?

Alright, but I haven't seen it too much. Besides, 4 of my pokemon have Super Effective attacks against grass. In any case, what would you recommend for that last spot! Maybe a Special tank?

The biggest problem I see is that any Steel pokemon could give you a ton of trouble. Primeape or any puncher could spell doom for you, considering Fire Punch is 4x good versus Abomasnow and it doesn't have any attacks that hit Pinsir or Heracross, or any Fighting Types, for super effective...

I'm just trying to capitalize on Gliscor's choice band, it makes all the difference. Thinking about replacing Primeape as a starter for a very very fast Thunder Waver or sleeper.
