This thread is open for discussion of existing ingame abilities, and possible new abilities for the pokemon.
This is the concept, and since this is the most important aspect of the concept, I'll be posting it in it's entirety.

Unreasonable and unintelligent posting will NOT be tolerated and will result in post deletion or an infraction. Discuss which 'neglected' abilities would be viable on a Pokemon like ours. Keep it civil, keep it smart, but most of all, keep it fun!

Elevator Music said:Name: Neglected Ability
Description: This pokemon will have an ability [or two] that is currently undervalued (but possibly very helpful) in the metagame but isn't used because the other pokemon with this ability don't have the stats or movepool to make it work.
Justification: This is probably one of the best ways to go about learning about the metagame. Seeing why certain abilities don't see much play and what we can do to make them more used is an easy way to learn about the metagame. There is also the possibility that this pokemon will have a beneficial effect on the metagame and/or will create a new niche in the metagame (or take the niche of an old pokemon that didn't see much play).
Explanation: There are plenty of abilities that we can base a concept around that don't see much play. I'm thinking things like Shield Dust (we all know how much I want a good pokemon to abuse this!), Shed Skin (though Rev has this covered imo), Simple, hell even things such as Solar Power or Forewarn. It would be silly of me to try and list out all the abilities we could use for this.
I like this concept because it doesn't restrict typing or stats or whatever. There are so many possible directions this could go in we aren't narrowing too much down, but at the same time I feel it provides just enough direction to keep the pokemon on track.
