ITT: Abilities that are completely outclassed by others. Water

>>29961802
water bubble double water damage moves too.

Intimidate: Lowers the opposing Pokémon's Attack stat.
Fur Coat: Halves damage from physical moves.

Iron Fist: Causes the power of affected punching moves to increase by 20%.
Tough Claws: Boosts the power of the Pokémon's contact moves by 33%.

>>29961897
Intimidate =/= Fur Coat. Intimidate debuffs the opponent (which means the debuff stays if you switch) while Fur Coat only works for the ability holder.

>>29961897
Intimidate isn't outclassed by Fur Coat, in fact it's better in many situations, especially doubles and triples.

>>29962341
Triples don't exist anon

levitate- can't be hit by ground moves
flying type- can't be hit by ground moves and ignores sheer force

>>29962771
you mean mold breaker

>>29961802
water bubble is actually water veil + heatproof + doubles water moves

magnet pull is a worse shadow tag

Big Pecks and Hyper Cutter when Clear Body and clones exist

That's because some Pokemon need their ability to not be shit and some don't
I could equally say that Truant is outclassed by almost every single other ability because most of them don't have drawbacks and Truant is only a drawback.

>>29962911
So is Arena Trap

Shadow Tag should have just stayed Wobbuffet's gimmick

>>29961802
Add

Heatproof - Halves the damage done by Fire-type attacks and the burn status ailment.

>>29962949
But most pokemon with outclassed abilities are already bad.
Or is there an overpowered Water Veil, Big Pecks, Hyper Cutter pokemon?

>>29961802
Water Veil really needs to halve the power of fire moves or something, and Scald.

This is just plain unfair. What the actual fuck gamefreak. Water veil fucking sucks

>>29961897
In addition to what other anons said, there are some (very relevant) non-contact physical moves, like Earthquake and Stone Edge.

>>29961802
Zangoose's unique ability is just a worst guts.

>>29963838
Fur Coat halves damage from non-contact Physical moves as well. Fluffy is the ability that's only restricted to contact.
