10 Pokemon with Useless Abilities

Jun 02, 2021
Gouri's hits prevent Michael from being here and good ability can change a Pokémon from very disappointing and unimpressive to a meta threat like inside Sinner or for example when it only had flames it wasn't used at all but then , once it became intimidating, it became one of the most used Pokémon in the entire VGC metagame, however that is definitely not the case for all

abilities

, there are several

abilities

that do nothing, do not work well for a specific Pokémon that has them or they just directly damage the Pokémon. I thought it would be fun to compile a list of those situations, so this video will show ten cases of Pokémon that have

useless

abilities.

I'll start with the obvious ones and I'm sure you already know them. which is lazing around and Durant with the ability I would really like is an ability that only allows the Pokémon that has it to attack once every two turns, that's it, that's all it does, it's horrible if it weren't for true desire , slacking would be an incredibly threatening Pokémon, it has a base stat total of 670 with incredibly high HP and physical attack stats with respectable stats on everything else except special defense, this total is tied with Kyogre and Groudon meaning slacking is literally on the level of legendary Pokémon, which is exactly why they gave it.

10 pokemon with useless abilities...

It's very likely that the game developers decided that that power was too much for a normal non-legendary Pokémon to have, plus it's lazy, so slacking off. It's something total. I don't really understand why Durant has it, although I mean they're supposed to be ants. to be very hardworking, right, why did they give an ability that has to do with laziness to an ant? Maybe they just wanted me to be able to do true drag in the strategy where you give true wish to an opponent, but I don't know. this doesn't make much sense to me, the next set of Pokémon with a

useless

ability that you've probably heard of, our Arkin and archeops with defeatist defeatist is an ability that makes the Pokémon's attack and special attack stats when the Pokémon's HP drops below half, although this is not as limiting an ability as True Wish, because if Archeops stays healthy it will never experience the negative effects, it is still a horrible ability.

This is another situation where a Pokémon has great stats that seem too powerful so they give it a hindering ability to balance things out, however Archeops is based on a total of only 567, it's pretty good but it's not crazy in my opinion it lacks tastes it's not good enough to warrant the nerf it got I think it's a It's really a big shame that Archeops has this ability because I really like Archeops it's my favorite fossil Pokémon and to me the fact that he was hindered when his stats aren't crazy seems really unfair and the final entry on this list that focuses on a hindrance.

The ability is Regigigas with a slow start for the first 5 turns after Regigigas enters battle, it is a tag stat and a speed stat, and if it is turned off and back on the counter resets, forcing you to wait those 5 turns again. 5 turns is nice too. a lot of time in a Pokémon battle, so there's a good chance that before the slow start wears off, you'll have to switch to Regigigas, he'll faint, or the battle will end. This again seems like a situation where a Pokémon has really Opie-looking stats. to Opie, so they gave him the ability to balance things out.
Regigigas has a very high base stat of 670, which is actually tied with Slacking. However, this is a different situation than Slacking because Regigigas is a legendary Pokémon, it is the leader of a legendary trio. It's supposed to be extremely powerful, there was no reason for them to not only weaken it but hinder it so much that this legendary Pokémon has become a practically useless Pokémon, it's not even a widely used Pokémon in the worst smog level with the article saying That strong Hland and Kangaskhan are better normal guys, why did they make it so incredibly bad?
So those first entries focused on situations where the ability itself is useless or harmful. The following entries will focus on situations where the skill is not useless but is useless. These specific Pokémon, the first of which is delivered with insomnia or vital spirit because it has both. Insomnia is an ability that prevents the Pokémon from falling asleep. This can be useful since most of the time sleeping is not a good thing in a Pokémon battle. The only time it's really bad is if you want to use rest because insomnia prevents rest from working and vital spirit is a skill, but it's literally the exact same thing, they're identical in every way except name.
Now there are many examples of In this same situation, two skills with different names that do exactly the same thing, such as Battle Armor and Carapace Armor, both protect from critical hits or Airlock and Cloud 9, both remove weather effects, however, those pairs are always in different species of Pokémon. Delibird has both. insomnia and vital spirit, two skills that do exactly the same thing, this is a complete waste of a skill slot because two of your three are taken up by the same thing, effectively making one of them useless, whatever the Useless, no, I guess. to personal preference so pick another similar example is the cling-clang evolutionary line with pluses and minuses, if you don't know what pluses and minuses do it's probably because you've never used them which would make a lot of sense because they are really skills bad, all it does is give the Pokémon with plus or minus a 50% increase to its special attack if another Pokémon with plus or minus is also on its side of the battlefield, that's it, it only comes into play in battles doubles and can only happen if you have two Pokémon with plus or minus, but it doesn't matter if these Pokémon have plus or minus specifically, you can have a combination of plus and minus, two plus or two minus, which means that the abilities do exactly what that was not. is always the case, although it had to be paired with generations three and four or more, for the boost to occur and vice versa, therefore, if there had been a Pokémon that had access to both more and less, one of them wasn't technically useless because I could have had another Pokémon with solo, so you needed the other solo to have more, but in generation 5 they made it so that more and less could be powered by either one and therefore, they did the same.
Generation 5 was also when cling-clang was introduced, so there was never a time where having both made sense, it's exactly the same situation as with delibird: the skill slots are occupied by identical effects, albeit more and less, like I said, they're not very good skills, so if you're going to use a Kling Klang, you always use a transparent body, so I guess they're both useless. The following example is a fan written ohm with levitation in case you don't know, by owning appliances, Rotom has the ability to not only change the appearance of it but also change its writing, normally. an electric ghost type, but his writing can change to electric fire, electric water, electric ice, electric grass, or electric flight, depending on the device he possesses.
The electric flying type is a Rotom fan, which makes a lot of sense. It is a fan that blows air with and air is commonly associated with However, the Flying type, while writing ohms, the writing changes when it changes shape, its ability does not always have levitate, which most of the time is very useful. Rotom is always an electric type and the only electric weakness is fundamental, so for most forms of Rotom levitate allows you to change a weakness to immunity, the only two forms are: this is not the case, a Rotom or where changes a neutral hit to immunity as grass resists ground and a Rotom fan that changes an immunity to a blind type immunity.
Pokémon are now immune to ground. types, so an ability that gives you an immunity you already had literally does nothing. This is something so fun and ridiculous that Smaug hesitates to be cheeky, so if a fan ever writes ohm in the random battles in Pokémon Showdown, it will stick. an air balloon, the next entry is another situation where immunity is granted when it is not needed, but being free and jealous, not with humidity, is an ability that prevents all Pokémon on the field from exploding, in other words , prevents Using self-destruct explosion and hallucination also in the effects I learned while researching this video is that it makes the Pokémon with moisture not take damage from the consequences, so that interesting moisture can definitely be a useful ability, especially when trying to capture. a Pokémon that could explode, it can also be used in trainer battles, but it tends to be somewhat situational, but for Jellison specifically it's a useless ability because he was already immune to explosions, at least he was before Blue Cephalon showed up.
Destruction and explosion are normal type attacks, meaning the jealous ghost type takes no damage from them. The one burst attack that can damage him is awesome, but that's only in a couple of games and it's very new and wasn't present in everyone else. generations we are jealous and we had humidity, so today we will ignore the points of doom. If Jellison has no moisture, the enemy explodes, but Jellison takes no damage. If the jealous intelligence has moisture, the enemy cannot explode. forcing Jellison to knock out the normal way, which of course has its risks in a one-on-one trainer battle.
I can't think of examples of when Kaling the opponent not hurting you at all is not a desirable outcome now, like I said. There are some situations where humidity is useful, such as trying to catch a wild Pokémon that might explode or protecting one of jealous allies in a double battle, but most of the time humidity is a useless ability because of jealousy, now It's attack time for this episode, yeah. They are still unified mines. I film this right after the previous video and I haven't been to the story yet. We have dark energy. Male munchlax.
Reset seal. She is a lady with an iron fist. Admittedly, this isn't as useless as the other entries on this list because it can still help technically, it's just that if you're using a lady and correctly it won't help. Iron Fist is a skill that increases the power of punching moves by 20% and one would think that this is a good skill for Lane, even though she can learn nine different punching moves. The problem arises due to the fact that all punching moves are physical attacks, but the lady's physical attack stat is horrendous. it's a base attack stat of 35:35 flabébé has a higher physical attack stat and is a flabébé, in short, an ability that helps with physical attacks to a Pokémon that should never use physical attacks is a useless ability for it, similar but less extreme.
Example is litleo and pyroar with moxie moxie is an ability that increases a

pokemon

's physical attack by one level each time it is an opponent. This is a really good ability and one of my favorites as it is so fun to sweep away enemy teams by becoming stronger and stronger as you, however Moxie only increases physical attack therefore it is useless on a Pokémon which is mainly a special attacker. An example of this is PI R or PI, the roar based special attack is over 40 points higher than his physical attack, it would be foolish to execute physical moves on a PI R or due to this huge stat difference, the special attack litleo is only 23 points higher than its physical, but it's still special it's higher literally every other

pokemon

that has moxie has a higher physical attack than a special attack because it doesn't make sense to have a strictly physical ability in a mainly special Pokémon, a PI R, or is completely useless, so never go to the trouble of finding a hidden ability, litleo, because you don't want it, another situation that increases the wrong stat is cherrim.
With Gift of Flowers, Gift of Flowers is Cherrim's signature ability and is what allows him to change shape in the sunlight much like the shape of Forecasts; however, unlike the forecast, the gift of flowers gives us a stat boost for cherrim in the form of sunny weather, it gives a 50% boost to cherubs and its allies have physical attacks and special defense stats, so while the special defense boost is, I guess it's nice to have the physical attack boost, they're stupid cherubs, the best stat of them all is their special attack, why would they make this ability increase?
It's a worse attack stat. One could argue for using this ability to boost Cherub allies in a double battle, but that only works in onedouble battle, so in a normal single battle, our gift is simply not good and the final entry on this list is another one where the ability itself is bad, all Pokémon with lighting from generation 7 onwards, There are 3 skills that have no effect in battle. Five, if the enemy Pokémon uses a single-use item, the Pokémon with pickup will pick up the item even if it's an item that's not normally on the pickup encounter table, but we're back to abilities that currently have no effect on the battle. and run away have uses in a game together they give you free, honey, and run away allows you to keep a low level Pokémon in front of your party that you're trying to level up without having to worry about getting stuck in the wild. battle you can't run away from but the lighting effect sucks if a Pokémon with lighting is at the front of your party it makes wild Pokémon more likely to appear.
The only scenarios where that is desirable is if you are looking for a specific rare. Pokémon like shiny or low encounter rate Pokémon, otherwise traversing caves and navigating are more of a pain than they already are. If I had a Pokémon on my play team with lighting, I could basically never have it at the front of my party unless it was Using it religiously repels more has no effect in battle, so you'll almost always want to pick an ability for these Pokémon that's better. because all light up Pokémon have other ability options that are far superior, in short, if you can avoid using a light up Pokémon, you should, thank you very much for watching this video and if you enjoyed it and want to see more of my fun content from Pokémon, I recommend this video here, okay, that's all I have for now, so don't do it next time. catch mom
