Sharp =/= Tough

>>32515346
Sharp =/= though.
For example refined obsidian is sharp but not though at all.

in defense of the OP, the gist is basically the same: how come weavile doesn't get the ability that would boost it's slash attacks?

>>32515591
But... He does get Night Slash

>blastoise is the shellfish pokemon
>doesn't get payday

>>32515625
wait, really?

i'll be damned.

I remembered building an AG team with Weavile for fun and couldn't find nightslash on the move list.

Was it a change introduced in Sun/moon?

yes, every Pokemon should have 100 abilities that fit it

>>32515657
Weavile doesn't have an ability at all though.

What were they thinking?

>>32515690
It has pressure to check whether opposing Lando is scarfed or not.

>>32515786
Weavile should get freeze shock

>>32515654
it's literally all it had prior to the gen 6 Knock Off buff

>>32515360
Fpbp

>>32515787
What?

>>32516518
If Intimidate goes before Pressure, Lando is scarfed. Also works with stuff like Mold Breaker.

>>32515346
Weavile's claws are sharp but brittle, because they are made of ice. They can slash and cause cuts, but so can paper. They are not tough.

>>32516587
Neat.

>>32515690
Sash Pickpocket does a good gimmick, but I see what you mean.

>>32516587
But then you'd have to be lucky enough that they send out lando at the same time as you.

>>32516837
Weavile is decent as an anti lead with Taunt and Lando is a meta dominating Rocks or Scarf lead. And it also works after double KOs.

>>32516777
You pick up too many Life Orbs for this to actually work, though.

>>32515690
Having a good ability isn't necessary to succeed in OU. See Keldeo, Gengar, Zygarde and so on.

>>32516989
But gengar isn't ou
