Have you been playing Enchanted Items? It's fun.
>At the cost of your item slot, any Pokemon can run two abilities at once
>Banned Pokemon: Shedinja, Togekiss, Manaphy, Kyurem-Black, Chatter, and the held abilities of Trace(temporarily)
>Banned abilities: Arena Trap, Contrary, Fur Coat, Huge Power, Imposter, Parental Bond, Pure Power, Shadow Tag, Simple and Wonder Guard.
Some good combinations: Aerialate Dragonite, Regenerator Slowbro, Regenerator Rotom-Wash, Magic Guard Talonflame.
I've been running a team with Tinted Lens Talonflame as opposed to Magic Guard and it always catches people off guard when their Excadrill goes down to a Brave Bird. Really fun.

Can we just talk about Enchanted Items instead of a worthless tripfag?
Dragonite is a serious threat, but Sand Rush Tyranitar does a decent job of keeping it in check. I also have Storm Drain Magnezone, as there's a lot of Water types that are a problem but can't hit Steel/Electric with other coverage moves. I actually had it before to take on Manaphy but that's been banned now and I'm too lazy to update my team.
Adaptability Latios is great, it's almost Life Orb without a downside. I've seen lots of cool Protean users in the tier, got blown back by a Hitmonlee just now
How prelevant are weather teams? I imagine easy access to drizzle, or even possible Drizzle and Swift Swim/any other ability that improves with rain would tempt many people to create rain teams.
I kinda tempted to do something like 6 water absorb or something like that.

If you were to give an Apicot Berry to a pokemon with Adaptability, would the two abilities stack?

So the ban on abilities like pure power are just for added ability right? like azumaril could be used or no?
>>27387109
Yeah just for added abilities.
>>27387074
They don't stack.
>>27387020
You don't even need a dedicated weather team. Just stick Primordial Sea on anything with Swift Swim and you're good to go. That's what got Manaphy banned.
so does knock off remove the second ability?
>>27387525
Knock Off doesn't affect items here, no.
Also there's some items that retain their effects like Choice items, AV, etc.

Do you ever think before making a post? There are obvious reasons for those Pokemon and abilities being banned. Don't tell me you want to deal with fucking Wonder Guard on anything.

Smogon are a bunch of babies who can't handle things. Haveyou read the rules to Little Cup?
>waah, Scyther is too stong. It's been banned for life
>abloo bloo bloo, Sneasle is too fast
>mom, why does the dragonfly get faster?!
@27388492
You need to be a little less obvious with you bait.
>>27386784
>Kyurem-Black is banned
>Kyurem-White is not
I thought Black was the shitty version with no moves? What does it benefit from that White doesn't.
>>27388593
It's OU, nigga. Kyurem-W and everything in Ubers is banned by default.
>>27388648
>another alt-OU format
Lost interest.
>>27388687
You can use any Pokemon you want tha tisn't in Ubers.
I never played this meta but I like the idea because it's the sort of thing GF could actually put in the game (held items with ability functions) if it turns out to be fun.
