With the new threats and abilities of X and Y, there are many new ability swapping combos to try out! Some abilities that may see lots of usage are Protean, Gale Wings, Bulletproof, Pixilate, Gooey, Aerilate, Refrigerate, and Tough Claws. As for Mega Evolutions, you can pass one of the original Pokemon's abilities to a teammate. When you do this, the Pokemon will keep its new ability until it Mega evolves, which will give it its normal Mega evolution ability. In addition, passing both weather and weather speed boosting abilities has been unbanned with the weather nerf.
Well, that's the tier, and I hope everyone will help make it as good as it can be by testing out strategies, keeping a healthy discussion, and keeping it an active OM. A Threatlist will definitely be added this time, hopefully sometime by New Years. It will consist of Combo's rather than Pokemon, and should provide some to build teams around if you are playing the tier for the first time. Thank you's to everyone who made this this OM a great one last generation, and lets do the same for this one!
