Long Reach honestly doesn't seem like that bad of an ability. It's kind of like Bulletproof in utility; not a niche-defining ability but definitely something passively usable
For example, Decidueye can't be punished by the likes of Ferrothorn when going for a Brave Bird and Decidueye can just Spirit Shackle it in the next turn
Why would it be using Brave Bird though when Fighting, Bug, Grass don't threaten it much? But it does have a use for Leaf Blade and U-Turn.

HAHA FUCK YOU ROCKY HELMET AHAHAHA
It'll be something nice to have against rocky helmet users, but likely not something that will matter in most battles.

It also gets Haze.
I'm liking a SD/Leafblade/spirit shackle/Synthesis set

Goddamn

Long range doesn't negate abilities anon, it just allows the Pokémon to attack without triggering them due to not making contact, which rocky helmet needs in order to work
>>29738091
Sounds like you're really reaching.
Whered you get news on more abilities, OP?
Its worse than Overgrow.

Not damaged by Spiky Shield. Not neutered by King's Shield.
Seems pretty decent to me.
Both Decidueye and Incineroar were straight up bait and switch, fucking GF I wanted to use them both.
