The Beginning

Typing: Ghost/Fighting
90 HP / 105 Attack / 90 Defense / 65 Sp. Attack / 110 Sp. Defense / 65 Speed
Total = 525 BST
Will not evolve from an already existing Pokemon
Ability: Shed Skin
This Pokémon has a 30% chance of removing Burn, Freeze, Paralysis, Poison, and Sleep at the end of each turn.
Looks like this:

The question for this poll is "What secondary ability do we give our Pokemon?"
Shed Skin won the ability poll without a doubt. It had 61 votes compared to its closest competitior's, Dry Skin, 38 votes. After that we had a cluster of the remaining four abilties, all within 10 votes of each other. This poll with decide the secondary ability, or if we stick with just Shed Skin. Voting will be done with the bolding method and you get only one vote.

Air Lock
While Pokémon with Air Lock are out, the effects of weather are temporarily disabled. Fire and Water moves are at normal power in sun and rain, Rocks have normal Special Defense in sandstorm, SolarBeam has 120 power and takes 2 turns, and Blizzard and Thunder have normal accuracy. The game will report that the weather is still going, however. The weather's effects will return when the Pokémon with Air Lock switches out.

Dry Skin
If Sunny Day is in effect, this Pokémon loses 12.5% HP each turn. If Rain Dance is in effect, this Pokémon heals 12.5% HP each turn. In addition, this Pokémon heals 25% HP when hit with a Water attack, but takes 25% extra damage from Fire attacks.

Insomnia
This Pokémon cannot be put to Sleep. This Pokémon cannot use Rest. If a Pokémon is Sleeping, and then gains Insomnia, it is instantly cured of Sleep.

Snare Trap/Entomb

[Deck Knight later posted a better version of Wrap to go along with this ability, we may or may not use it.]

You could call it Snare Trap or something.

No Ability
Self-explanatory. The only option on this Pokemon becomes Shed Skin. Mainly if you don't think any of the remaining abilities fit.

Air Lock FTW. First Post!

Grawl · Feb 24th, 2008, 1:25:29 PM

Changed my vote to No Ability. Shed Skin just fits and I don't really like the others, except for Insomnia. But that's not really needed anyway.

Instinctive · Feb 24th, 2008, 1:25:51 PM

Air Lock

Goodbar · Feb 24th, 2008, 1:26:07 PM

Airlock, yea seems breathtaking to me I guess :P

eric the espeon · Feb 24th, 2008, 1:29:41 PM

Entomb

also why did people vote shed skin? its not even a good ability and it doesent fit well, bandeges are NOT skin. oh well can't ague with the votes.

edit: WOOOOHOOO 900th post!!!!

airlock
since sand veil is gone =/.

Pulse · Feb 24th, 2008, 1:31:45 PM

Air Lock

LickThePaint · Feb 24th, 2008, 1:32:54 PM

Insomnia. Works well with Shed Skin; one promotes RestTalk, one doesn't allow it :) Also makes it lol Breloom.

Dane · Feb 24th, 2008, 1:33:34 PM

Dry Skin

But since each person only gets one vote, couldn't a board controlled poll had been used, like with the art polls?

Air Lock -- Since there isn't an Air Lock pokemon in OU... It's only Rayquaza. And nearly nobody use the Cloud Nine Golduck of UU in OU metagame.

Magmortified · Feb 24th, 2008, 1:37:11 PM

If nothing else. Air Lock. I'd like to see HaxChomp and possibly that Annoyer Froslass when its lost its Hax Veil. Plus, it doesn't lose Leftovers to Sandstorm. Which is always a plus. I wanted to go with Immunity, but it seems nobody else wants it either.

chronostrike · Feb 24th, 2008, 1:37:22 PM

Air Lock
and bold your vote

Hyra · Feb 24th, 2008, 1:39:11 PM

I'm stuck between Air Lock and Entomb... I'm probably just going to vote for which ever has a better chance of winning because I really don't want Insomnia. They are really redundant in terms of what they do. Dry Skin is iffy too, but not as much as Insomnia.

Wishy · Feb 24th, 2008, 1:39:26 PM

Insomnia.

<_< Air Lock makes no sense on a bandaged ghost fighter thing...

CardsOfTheHeart · Feb 24th, 2008, 1:39:46 PM

I really do like Dry Skin in the second spot. Dried-out mummy with bandages; it looks Fire-weak and seems like it could benefit from moisture.

stormtrooper · Feb 24th, 2008, 1:40:02 PM

insomnia so it could be sleep immune

Luck · Feb 24th, 2008, 1:41:07 PM

Air Lock -I'm sheep for this vote

***RBG**** · Feb 24th, 2008, 1:41:08 PM

Air Lock:I don't see how a mummy controls the weather......

Dry Skin:Its a ghost/mummy, i don't see how this fits. Plus, we dont need to give it a third immunity

Insomnia:Mummies can sleep, besides, this mummy hatched from an egg, so the "it slept for thousands of years" arguments should'nt be vaid

Snare Trap/Entomb:I dont like this ability, choosing what Pokemon your opponent can keep in or not just seems a little broken.

No Ability:Shed Skin fits, I see no need for other abilities.

CrossDragonZX · Feb 24th, 2008, 1:42:53 PM

Air Lock, I'm a follower, not much of a leader. >_>

**Mario With Lasers** · Feb 24th, 2008, 1:45:04 PM

No Ability.

Shed Skin is good enough, a mummy shouldn't stop sandstorms, Insomnia stops it of using Rest, Dry Skin's healing abilities under Rain doesn't make much sense, and I don't think we should create anew ability for each pokémon we do.

**Elevator Music** · Feb 24th, 2008, 1:47:37 PM

Or better yet we could just make an ability with the same effect, just a more fitting name.... *gets shot*
