Inheritance

Sweet merciful Neptune who thought it would be a good idea to spam all of the most useless baseline Abilities? Cute Charm? Feraligatr losing Sheer Force and gaining Dragon typing without at least Fairy Purifying Salt? I'm glad I skipped ZA. I shouldn't have commented, I don't even play MnM.

Fight woke get smo--wait, Don had one too. EDIT: Aw, man, Sneaze Miser is such an incredible cut.

I posited this a few gens back as "Melting Pot" without the Ability swapping (I myself got the idea from a chatter on Showdown), and while I do think the teambuilding element offers merit, we're getting pretty dense on OMs. Also Mew and Smeargle would need to go.

Talk about an OM getting necro'd. Latias and Dusclops remain on top, 3 generations later. https://pokepast.es/8c174e9e8f83fde5

Corbok is terrifying and I love it.

I don't know the actual coding, but I feel like that's not how Freeze-Dry affects Lapras. I think it's an Ice-type move that now hits Water Super Effectively getting halved by Ice's self-resistance. The slot in the type chart that normally denotes Water resisting Ice changes to a SE hit, and...
