Ability Shift

Ban fur coat too. and Flame body mega aggron and gooey shuckle is pretty cool and frustrating to deal with in this meta. But btw
* Teddiursa has an attack stat of 568 with huge power :O
Too bad its other stats aren't too pretty, but with Eviolite it could be pretty good.

* Poor Mega Alakazam and Mega Heracross :( They gets upgraded with........ Truant and Slow Start.

* I also think Yveltal should be unbanned. Defeatist is pretty terrible. Also, what about Kyogre? It now has very weak STAB + a 50% accurate Thunder. And it can't even learn Solar Beam.

* Other interesting stuff: Poison Heal Ampharos, Speed Boost Bouffalant, Speed Boost Exploud, Fur Coat Eviolite Dusclops...
Oh my god...

* Tintend lens Mamoswine. OMG

* All ex-Serene Grace pokemon now have... Shadow Tag. Maybe Skymin is still broken?

* There are now 0 unaware users :( Set up sweepers will dominate.

* Defiant Archeops! Download Thundurus/Bisharp/Empoleon

* Also, lol, Gastrodon still has Storm Drain!! Gale Wings Furfrou!

Marowak has that same 568 attack and better defenses with better speed & movepool so nothing special there.
 
Drought Politoed xD
Regenerator Porygon-Z though.
Lucario-Mega gets Aerilate.
Bad Dreams Zygarde, hmmm.....
No Guard Roserade. Grasswhistle will always hit now at least...
Pretty interesting Meta!
 
Okay, to anyone saying "ban this ability", I probably will not ban whole abilities. The only ones that are close to likely to being banned are imposter, and shadow tag, and shadow tag only due to the amount of people asking for it - not due to any personal desire. I want to at least let it play out with ST for a bit, though.

I hope you'll wait a bit to ban impostor too. I have an idea for a counter strategy for imposter Snorlax and I hope I get a chance to test it out.
 
Yeah, I'm going to wait a bit - also, torkoal makes a really good anti imposter if you can keep hazards from coming up. Last thing is - blissey/chansey gets sing and no guard (which goes through sub). The set I'm currently theorymonning is skill swap / sing / aromatherapy / softboiled. The idea behind the set is that skill swap allows you to escape ST users while not sacrificing the utility of no guard (the best part is that it's not really abusable on other mons, due to the nature of the ability - it requires certain moves to be good), sing is to sleep stuff (obviously), and the last two move slots are reserved for supporting your team.
 
I've been using a rain to a good effect here as the distribution is still bad but not nearly as bad as before, porygon z also has thunder which is nice.
 
Just gonna say this is a threat:

Torkoal @ Air Balloon
Ability: Wonder Guard
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
Timid Nature
- Flamethrower
- Shell Smash
- Hidden Power [Grass]
- Earth Power

So I was using Torkoal as a White herb Shell smash sweeper, but it seems a Air ballon is better because of Snorlax
