>Doesn't get rough skin

KEK!
>thorns are skin
>>33340120
well you get my point. it doesn't make sense that when punching the cactus, the one fearing the punches is the cactus.

You think Cacturne deserves ROUGH SKIN of all things?
Cacturne has pathetic Defense and HP. How could it benefit from such an ability?
>>33340940
It's not about viability, you cucklord.
Needs his own signature ability. Fucking travesty that Ferrothorn gets Iron Barbs and the CACTUS POKEMON has nothing deterring other mons from touching it.

>if it's not OU it's shit
>>33340940
Sharpedo has worse defenses, equal HP and gets Rough Skin
>>33339753
>intimidate
>sandstorm (forgot which one it was but it was the auto sandstorm one)
>rough skin
So much potential wasted
>>33340994
>Stinging needles
An attacker using a contact move will receive damage and flinch, preventing damage to the target

Then what is the OP complaint? Water Absorb and Sand Veil are plenty enough fitting for the theme; if anything it should get Hydration as HA.
A cactus doesn't have ROUGH SKIN, and neither doesn Cacturne. It has pointy needles lining its skin

Rough Skin is called Shark Skin in Japan.
But yeah it totally deserves iron barbs or something!
>>33341123
Honstly, it should've gotten a hidden ability that gives it benifits in Sun, Rain and Sand.
Sun: Boosts Attack
Rain: Restores HP
Sand: Raises evasion
The only weather condition that should've done anythjng to it was hail. It's not strong enough that it would be too good, it'd still see hardly any play. But that's just my opinion.

Druddigon get's it.
I love Cacturne
>ITT: anons show their inherent lack of creativity by not suggesting a thorny ability that works like iron barbs or rough skin but is given exclusively to grass types with thorns, or a scarecrow ability that makes cacturne immune to flying-type moves, instead going over and over about how "lol rough skin doesn't fit it it dosn't has skin is a cucktus xD"
>>33339753
Skin is soft
Spikes are rough
Dumb anon.
>>33341034
Damn thats pretty good
