Does CAP23 need a secondary ability? What aspect of CAP23 or its threatlist have we not properly addressed yet? Which abilities accomplish this need?
In all honesty, not really. Comatose is already an incredible ability that outclasses most of our other choices. Pair that with CAP23's incredible typing (Offensive and Defensive) and its good stat spread, we already have a very potent wallbreaker that WILL shake up the meta game. Adding additional ability just cause is a. pointless and b. could make CAP23 too powerful (much like a flying /fighting type CAP we know and love). I personally think that No Competitive Ability is our best option.
Do any of the abilities mentioned during Primary Ability Discussion have merit as a secondary ability?
As of current, I don't see any options that are particularly good options. Volt Absorb is a good ability that helps deal with Volt-Turn, but it could give CAP23 too many options against too many mons. Shield Dust is currently objectively worse then Comatose, with the exception to flinch hax immunity and Comatose's Lack of Rest. Strong Jaw could be an option, helping fight its targets with boosted Psy/Ice Fangs. I don't personally like the idea, as there are other ways to boost CAP23, but it is an option. Tough Claws could give it more powerful, like Strong Jaw , but it may be too much power.
