Rhino, mole, Oho Jee, rat magician thingy ( at a stretch --- it's a little pudgy ), Uber's komodo. It may not be a lot, but it's there. Nevertheless, the ability does some a little fanboyish/contrived to me, so I don't necessarily support it.
Yeah, we can always give it a shit ability, like Persistent + Run Away, Klutz + Keen Eye, Pick-up + Cute Charm.
My komodo is perfect for this ability. Not only is he fat, but he can be fast as well. Think Purugly: 112 speed and thick fat. Just a thought.
Filter! to help it stand up vs the many EQ's it will get hit with
Iron Fist would be cool cause I don't think anyone else will agree with me on Filter and I like Ele punchers
Dry Skin is something else no one has thought of. Not trying to take away one of it's weaknesses but it's a ground type, ground types easily are in the sun, sun dries skin, it makes sense to me

Filter? On a pokemon like this? That way to broken. We can't make it invincible.
I'd like to bring up Frisk for the millionth time.Having Frisk will put that stupid land shark in its place and making it alot easier to counter. I'd be a huge help to know if it was scarfed or yatched. A BIG help. Even that might be a bit broken.
I'd love Rough Skin as well. I'll probably be ignored, but whatever. At least me votes count.

This thing should never switch into garchomp. It has nothing that could kill Chomp, while Sharky tears this thing up. Klutz and Persistant seem good to me, but I'd rather not have it effect the screens, just because it would put the hold item pretty usless
I'm against abilities that make it tank better, as that wasn't the original intent of the CAP project...
So Thick Fat/Intimidate/Filter.... those shouldn't be allowed.
I'm also against abilities that further its offensive power.. Technician falls under this, so you know, that's out.
Its ability should further its main purpose, it should have some kind of utility. Atleast when people mention Frisk that has SOME kind of utility... finding out Items isn't the MOST usefull, but it's something.
And to that person who said creating a new ability is fanboyish... come on... we're MAKING A FUCKING POKEMON!!! This is all rather fanboyish.

I'd just like to bring up forewarn as a good support ability again. Don't confuse it with anticipate (which only tells you if they have a SE move, not what it is). There are a lot of situations where knowing someone's highest BP move is very useful.
Skimming to say I could imagine a few of the pokemon with Insomnia for an ability, the imp in particular.
I also like Frisk/Forewarn, those would be fitting.

There are situations where knowing a move is more useful, such as psycho boost or psychic deoxys, surf or hydro pump swampert, is this a chain chomp or sd chomp, etc.
I'm still not convinced of Frisk's usefullness.... The most difficult sets to figure out are those on Gengar/Salamence/Garchomp etc... I don't see this thing switching IN on any of those anytime soon, considering EQ will likely be an OHKO from Garchomp, and Gengar/Salamence are immune to its STAB Earthquake/Earthpower.
It's a good ability in theory, but against the pokemon it would be the most usefull, it falls short.

I said chain chomp vs SD chomp, both could run life orb.
I use Psycho Boost ;>_>
Anyways, Forewarn does sound nice, but I won't be saying much else until artwork is chosen.
just voting to vote. i think frisk and persistent are the best.
This isn't a poll. I'm starting to like frisk more and more, now than I think about it.
Edit: Didn't notice that... but most Chomps run Yache anyways =P
In my head, and maybe in others, there's a difference between taking all the toys Gamefreak has made and playing with them in whatever combination we want (types, attacks, stats, and abilities), and creating entirely new toys and throwing them against Gamefreak's.
Just saying.
Yes.
I'm still for Frisk.
It will really help for choice users, because you can out-predict your opponent and have them use a useless or ineffective move, thus giving yourself a free turn during the switch.
Also, you can see if a Pokemon is a physical or special variant based on the Choice item...of choice. Life orb doesn't say something like that, but it clues you in about how that Pokemon may be more offensively-oriented in contrast to being more defensive.
For the most part, are you going to switch in your utility Pokemon against something you believe has a Choice item? What's been said multiple times now, but apparently not heard by most people, is that it'll only show you their item on the switch in. Most Pokemon that you people are talking about using Frisk against, the only way you should have Frisk go off is if you're leading with this Pokemon.
