Though the movepool isn't yet revealed, its ability, Mummy, activates when it is hit with a contact move and replaces the attacker's ability with Mummy. Not very useful, but it could have its conveniences. The above is the effect as Serebii posted it, PokeBeach, however, does not specify whether the move must be contact or not. And even after this if it has absolutely amazing stats you would still have a reason to use it over Dusknoir or Rotom-A.

All these info is amazing.
I like every Pokemon. Including Tabunne, she's cute, don't hate.
Maybe all the starters will get a different type at third form. Who knows?
And I still don't know why GameFreak keeps making spiders with 6 feet.

I would say that Shadow Claw wouldn't work as Slaking is immune to it, therefore no contact is made (and the ability isn't passed on), though I'm not sure what happens if you use Volt Tackle/ThunderPunch/Thunder Fang/Spark on Poison Point Nidoqueen. Perhaps a stat junkie could fill me in?
No, it's whoever uses a contact move on Desukan has their ability changed to mummy.
Well know, read that sentence over and over until you get what I mean. Did I say something about attacking Slaking?
No, she doesn't. It means that her Pokémon is weak to Chaobuu.
They meant for Slaking to be using Shadow Claw on Desukaan. Super-Effective plus the elimination of Slaking's horrid ability.
Fine. Croconaw/Feraligatr puts up a good point, but they actually look similar as well though.
They both are the same blue color, same style/color dorsal fins, same jaw, even the eye style is the same.
But Buffuron and Tauros, there's quite a difference.
The horns can easily be seen that they're not the same. Buffuron's horns seem to have a natural bone color, and they have rings, while Tauros' horns appear to be made of metal and doesn't have rings at all. I could be picky and talk about the way how horn is protruding from it's head, but I'll let that be.
Buffuron is hairy, and I'm not just saying that because of it's afro either. Look at it's body, it has a second layer of hair; a key trait of a Buffulo. Tauros, well, it isn't any normal bull but the only part from it that is hairy is it's mane.
Buffuron doesn't have a tail at all, or at least, it has that little stub, but Tauros has 3 tails. What was a key description to Tauros was how it used its tails to help it fight harder, actually to enrage itself. Something like that wouldn't suddenly just get dropped, XD.
The Mouth: meh, it's something, but you can see that Buffuron's lining for it's mouth goes over it's nose, including it and it's a grey color. Tauro's lining is only for it's nose and it is brown.
Minor detail:
Buffuron
-Yellow eyes
-stripe down eye along it's face
Tauros
-White eyes
-has studs on it's head

This is probably a stretch, but does anybody else think that Zekrom and Reshiram might be Physically oriented? I noticed on Serebii this morning that their signature moves are Cross Thunder and Cross Flame. Obviously, this is just some Japanese translation, but the only two current "Cross" moves (Cross Chop and Cross Poison) are both physical.
Just a thought
... and a wish :)

Sorry, my bad. I thought you meant having Slaking as your partner in doubles, and Desukaan attacking it. The other explanation makes perfect sense.
+ mattj: X-Scissor, the letter 'X' is a cross. Though that is also physical. What is the official pronunciation of X-Scissor, Ex-Scissor or Cross-Scissor? I know it's been used in the anime somewhere...
No, she actualy does have one aswell!
And the Mummy ability is passable, becouse the pokemon that hits Desukan gets it to, thus you can pass it to another pokemon that atacks you with a contact move.
Umm...Serebii and PokeBeach says that the magazine is suggesting Chaobuu to be used against her since she's a normal type leader, xD. Not that she's using it.
Because this is Pokemon, where reality is a minor technicality and the laws of physics are more like guidelines.
Ok GF, now just give this Cheer Up thingy to useful pokémon and I may forgive you on the starters.
I'm confused on the wording of Cheer Up. Does it act like Speed Boost, raising Atk and SAtk by one stage at the end of each turn, or if a pokemon with Cheer Up uses, for example, Swords Dance, it becomes +2 Atk and +2 SAtk, or even +4 Atk and +2 SAtk?
Growth does the same thing as cheer up now. It's only +1 for each attack stat. Like and offensive Defend Order/Cosmic Power.
Jesus Christ, stop twisting my words, she does have a frikin pig!
Yes its also a good idea to use Chaobuu against her since she specializes in Normal types.
Dragon Tail: May have a chance of causing your opponent to switch
Yeah...I see chance but you know something like this could happen >.>
Opponent sends out scarfed ononokusu
Ononokusu uses dragon tail
*forces switch no hit back*

1. I didn't twist your words.
WTF, I just read the japanese scan myself and it says nothing about her actually having the pig. Yes, I can read japanese text and from the info revealed so far, it does NOT say that.
Lol, imagine Scarf Jirachi/Togekiss with this.
