If anything that's exactly why there should be an ability to counterbalance two psychic-centric abilities. I mentioned the ritual dance thing before, and Spork even linked videos, so there's not much more to say. At the very least, I think Own Tempo fits more than Telepathy, considering Telepathy's actual function (avoid friendly fire). We rejected this thing having one ability, so I might as well gun for three.Agree. If anything I'd rather make Telepathy a Dream World ability if No Tertiary Ability is picked. All of the remaining options are clutching at straws. Also, I think the abilities there are more Psychic than Ghost, particularly Telepathy... ._.
I think this is a very unfortunate mischaracterization and I think that you could have said the same thing about Revenankh (similar to Dusknoir). It's already physically based and it has Sketch...Let's make this thing as similar to Lilligant as we possibly can

You know, many Pokémon have diverse information known about them, in their dex entries and as shown in the anime and on the trading cards, but not all of them have three abilities. We don't need to keep adding things about flavour to the stats of this mon to compensate.

The artist has spoken. If we're choosing abilities purely for flavor and the artist doesn't feel they fit, there's no reason to muddle the concept any further. No Tertiary AbilityI think No Tertiary Ability is the way to go here. Too many flavour abilities would spoil her and the only ones that would make sense right now are Keen Eye and Unnerve, anyway.
Illuminate... COULD work, but it's a far shot, just like Liquid Ooze and Sticky Hold.
Don't take it that way, that's not what I meant... I just didn't want her to get too cluttered, but in the chance that one DOES get voted in, I'm only for Own Tempo at best. The only thing that makes it look bad is, well, the comparison to liligant that people are drawing. :justin:The artist has spoken.

I believe Sketch is an Egg Move.Ok, I'm going to suggest Pressure. Pressure is in flavor as it could, something like emanate or expel energy while channeling spirits. And it's not as competitive as you might think. The only way it can be effectively used is as a SubSeed set. If we don't give it Leech Seed or make it illegal with Pressure it will have to Sketch Leech Seed and become less unpredictable.
Wait wait wait wait how is this thing supposed to learn Sketch in the first place?
I do not think that this is true, or rather that it's not a very significant majority, certainly not significant enough for us to be making statements about it like it matters. There are quite a lot of Pokemon with only one ability (plus maybe a second due to Dream World). Check out this list.The majority of pokemon have three abilities...
I totally disagree with this reasoning. Why is an ability that emphasizes Sketchy's "down-to-earth" attributes desirable? Yes, I get that we have two abilities right now that reinforce the clairvoyant channeler flavor, but that's the part of the flavor that actually needs reinforcement. Without an ability like Forewarn, Telepathy, Anticipate, etc. she stops being a channeler and thus didn't fulfill her flavor. Without an ability like Own Tempo, which I guess just reinforces the fact that she maybe dances, her visual design still totally takes care of that part of her flavor. In other words, she doesn't need an ability to clearly be a shrine maiden. We should be using these abilities to reinforce the parts of her flavor that aren't already immediate apparent, and we've already done that. Her flavor as a medium is far more prominent and far more important than her flavor as a maybe dancer.That reasoning is why I feel that CAP 2 should have Own Tempo; it emphasizes the more down-to-earth aspects of the design and makes it clear that clairvoyance isn't the only thing it can do.
Doesn't matter. It's more competitive than Forewarn, so it's not going to make it though.Ok, I'm going to suggest Pressure... And it's not as competitive as you might think.
