Aside from this piece of shit, what are the worst combinations out there?

Are you fucking stupid? x2 immunity to ground is awesome in case you either get gastro acid or soaked. Add a baloon and it's perfect.
Flabebe and it's evolutions
>>20811325
download is a way better ability for it though.
>>20811285
>Gale Wings Air Slash
>>20811353

Lightning Rod Marowak.
lightningrod M-sceptile
>>20811441
Scary, but Togekiss and Skymin will always have the scariest Air Slashes.
>>20811519
It's actually pretty good in doubles/VGC when paired with a water/flying pokemon. Especially with a Trick Room team
Delibird's HA being the same as one of its main abilities (Hustle/Vital Spirit/Insomnia).
>>20811519
Aim for the skull!
>>20811519
What? He's fucking baller in VGC
>>20815224
It makes sense in some way though.
Delibirds need vital spirit to survive their habitat and to do their job, but some could fuckup with this reduced sleep and become insomniac. (muh headcannon)
Pidgeot/Any of its 3 abilities

So, what ability would you give FanRotom instead of Levitate?
Keep in mind it must be something that both makes sense, and does not make it a lot better than the other rotoms
Insomnia delibird. Mostly because IT HAD VITAL SPIRIT ALREADY.
>>20818954
Motor Drive.
>>20818954
I'd give it infiltrator
>>20818954
Huge power
>>20818954
Aerilate
Stunfisk w/ Limber. Double paralysis immunity
>>20819042
What if it got Soaked. You got to think about these things.
>>20819054
That's true. Soak is a huge threat to Stunfisk.
>>20819042
triple in gen VI now that electric types can't be parahaxed
Delcatty, the useless Meowth Pokemon
It is said that it sucks at battle because it wants to be clean
Trainers have stopped using though because of its shitty ability, Normalize, which just as useless, if not less, than it
>>20819087
No, it's still double, there are more ways to para than just Thunder Wave.
>>20819105
oh right, forgot. darn.
>Dry Skin
why
>>20819095
Skitty is still incredibly cute.
>>20819131

well, there ya go. Still immune to gound in an inverse battle (and soak, like our stunfisk friend there)
>>20819301
>>20819576
Check its pokedex data
>>20819131
It's not like it's going to survive a fucking Ember from a Charmander anyway, so you might as well give it a Water immunity.
Serene Grace Sawsbuck. No secondary ability move pool.
>>20818931
SO HIIGGHHH
>>20819319
gotta be prepared for those mold breaker eq's
>>20818954
>Motor Drive
Wonder Guard
>>20818883
When your balloon has popped, the opponent has mold breaker, and you're roosting, you gotta have that Magnet Rise as a backup plan.
>>20818845
>tfw no Gale Wings Pidgeot with extreme speed
>>20823359
Or staraptor;-;
>>20823375
Staraptor is good enough that it's been banned from UU every generation. Pidgeot is still firmly NU. Pidgeot needs it more.

>naughty nature
Why does God hate me?
>>20819413
But in Inverse Battles it would double resist ground without levitate...
>>20823557
That means it's OU material, but nobody use it, so it's not over used. Hell, I even doubt it would qualify to be NU by usage alone
>>20815224
This, so hard.
>>20829135
>>20811429
It keeps download on the turn before it megas
>>20811805
Skymin's Air Slashes are in a tier of its own. Togekiss's are frightening too, but to group them together like that is unfair to the Togekiss.
>>20811796
M-Sceptile's 4x Electric resist doesn't make it magically less resistant to Thunderwave. Lightning Rod does (while also being its only way to boost SpAttack in a meta with Volt Switch).
>>20819095
Normalize lets it Thunderwave Ground types at 100% accuracy and bypass the Elec-absorbing abilities. Also technically gives you STAB on all offensive moves, but it lacks good powered moves with great secondary effects to abuse it with.
>>20819131
Gen 5 rain stall honorary member. Also, fungus and mushrooms thrive, if not require, damp and moist conditions to grow. Still great in Rain, which also weakens its Fire weakness, and you resist Water so it's less of a liability. You never say no to a free switch-in in a meta where Scald/Surf/Hydro Pump exist.
>>20822431
You mean no Physical secondary ability move pool. It gets STABEnergy Ball. It technically gets Bounce for nice paralysis, but hopefully move tutors in ORAS will give it things like Body Slam or Zen Headbutt.
>>20818869
>not using contrary shell smash
>>20818954
You know what if they actually decided to give each Rotom form its own ability? Wouldn't that be pretty cool?
It might help improve all the other forms.The bitter tears of Rotom Wash losing Levitate would be so delicious if it is really that big of an impact
>>20829135
>not using Everstone

PYROAR WITH MOXIE
WHY
>>20834101
>not running protect in doubles
>implying anyone uses explosion anymore
>>20834133
The decision to nerf Explosion and assigning Damp to Jellicent probably did not occur at the same time in Gen V, so there was still possibly a reason to keep HA Damp around. Should have still gotten the Scolipede treatment in Gen VI.
>>20829135
Could be worse, at least it wasn't Modest.
>>20829571

>>20829135
>not using Overheat for the surprise KOs on Skarmory and Ferrothorn
Look at Primape's movepool. Mixed is startlingly effective.
>>20818954
Someone already said Motor Drive. Volt absorb would also be a good one. So would Static, Own Tempo, Soundproof (because fans are loud), hell, even Sturdy might make a little sense. If you want to make it really stupid, though, you could do Sand Stream under the assumption that it blows debris everywhere.
>>20819042
You can still paralyze electric types with Body Slam. Now Stunfisk can't be Body Slammed into paralysis. Glare too. He also gets around Glare.
>>20829647
Wash gets Storm Drain.
Heat gets Analytic (He needed the Levitate the most, though)
Lawnmower gets Hyper Cutter, because it makes sense, but sucks.
Refridgerator gets Refridgerate because it makes sense and is stupid, but at least gets STAB Hyper Beam.
How's that?
>>20829610
Bounce isn't bad in game. 60% paralyze is pretty good plus coverage. But you might want to make room for Megahorn eventually.
And how many Rock Smash attacks do you need until the defense lowering makes up for the difference in power compared to Jump Kick?
>>20811796
M-sceptile/Jolteon combo is gunna be great in VGC. Discharge would work like a damage-dealing Helping Hand.
>>20835841
Pretty sure Electrics are entirely immune to paralysis, m8.

/thread
At least Delibird's redundant abilities and all of the garbage flying type abilities do something, even if it's not much. Limber actually does nothing. I'd argue it's even worse than levitate rotom-s, since if on the off chance Rotom mimics a roost, it's still immune to ground types.Inb4 corner case that will never come up.
>>20836832
>Rotom mimics a roost
Rotom can't learn Mimic. So there's no case in which Levitate would do anything for Rotom-S.
>>20836832
What about if Stunfisk got its type changed? That's a lot more likely.
