After an exciting five-day poll, one of my picks finally won. Mario with Laser's stat distribution won by a resounding 19.56%, so I guess that's settled. As of now, this is our new pokemon:
Bug/Ice
70/ 116/ 70/ 114/ 64/ 121
Not too impressive at the moment, with only two lines of text. So it's time to add one more, by adding an ability! The choices you have are based on existing abilities like Compound Eyes and Intimidate, as well as new ones like Ice Absorb and Ice Shell. For those of you not in the know, ability descriptions will be posted here, so please refer to them when making your decision. Or just pick at random, which I know some of you do already....
PLEASE DON'T POST NEW ABILITIES HERE. I've already picked which ones I want to include, and as the founder of the program, I ultimately have final say. On that topic, Magic Guard will not be an option. In my opinion, with speed over 120 and attacks over 110, the potential for Life Orb abuse is far too great, and I'm sure most of you will agree with me. Anyway, here are your choices:
Intimidate- Upon entering battle, the opposing pokemon's attack is lowered by one stage (25%).
Compound Eyes- The accuracy of the user's moves are increased by 30% (i.e. Blizzard's 70% accuracy becomes 91%).
Snow Warning- A permanent hailstorm begins when the user enters battle.
Swarm- When the user's HP is below 33%, the attack power of Bug moves increases 50%.
Ice Absorb- When hit by a direct Ice attack, the user regains 25% health (it's like Water Absorb).
Ice Shell- User takes no indirect damage upon enter into battle (specifically damage from Spikes, Toxic Spikes, and Stealth Rock damage is neutralized).
I think I got those right. Please correct me if not. Anyway, because this is such an important poll, it will be a two-parter. The top three abilities from this poll will be taken to Poll 6, part 2, where the ultimate winner will be decided. So get started! This poll will close in three days.
