I for one am not going to be defeatist about No Guard. It has different risks, rewards, and while Weak Armor will affect the stats portion of this cap, No Guard will affect the movepool. Based on the number of people who think that No Guard is "safe", it still comes across that you guys can't separate the ability from Machamp, a fairly bulky pokemon with great resists. I shouldn't have to repeat that CAP4 is weak to common inaccurate moves like Stone Edge and Fire Blast, but it bears repeating as long people keep saying that there is no risk to the ability. What it offers as a reward in my mind is not simply a little more accuracy on Megahorn, or even gimmick moves like Zap Cannon, but No Guard gives great reward potential when it comes to status effect moves. No Guard and Weak Armor can easily coexist in this fashion.
