Like, give it one more move, or a different ability choice, or something, that would make it significantly more common competitively, if not break it. Or just something hilarious. It doesn't even have to make sense.





I'll start:





Ferrothorn with Dry Skin


Dusclops with Rapid Spin


Skarmory with Prankster


And these are pretty tame; I could probably come up with much worse.

  • Kichigai birthday!!

    Let Masquerain keep Surskit's typing. You go from the cool combination of Bug/Water to a generic Bug/Flying

  • a little muffled

    with Recover.

  • OOOooooOoOoOOoo, I'm a ghoOooOooOOOost!
    Charizard with dragon instead of flying.

    ^ Almost posted that, but I felt that it was too obvious. :P


    ^^ Like, say . . . Dusclops? Or what about Bronzong?


    Bronzong with Recover. Perish the thought.


    Victini with Contrary.

    Snorlax with Slack Off would be good.

    Also true. And/or Snorlax with Huge Power?


    Regigigas and Slaking with Huge/Pure Power.

  • OOOooooOoOoOOoo, I'm a ghoOooOooOOOost!
    Flareon with a useable moveset.
  • Till shade is gone, till water is gone, into the Shadow with teeth bared, screaming defiance with the last breath, to spit in Sightblinder’s eye on the last Day.
    Quagsire with Wonder Guard.
  • a little muffled

    Incidentally, you may be interested in Balanced Hackmons. Pure Power Slaking is pretty popular in that.

  • Kichigai birthday!!

    Make all the generic start of game birds Flying instead of Normal/Flying

  • OOOooooOoOoOOoo, I'm a ghoOooOooOOOost!
    [anything without weaknesses] with Wonder Guard.

    @nohaynicklibre: That actually makes them largely worse.

  • Till shade is gone, till water is gone, into the Shadow with teeth bared, screaming defiance with the last breath, to spit in Sightblinder’s eye on the last Day.
    ^^ that's pretty much what I just posted though



    Unless water/ground has a weakness I'm forgetting.

    Magikarp with ??? Type and Wonderguard



    ^ GRASS

    ^^^ It would make them hitable  by ghosts but also resistant to fighting (assuming you were replying to me)


    ^^ It's 4 times weak against Plant,and I think it's also weak to Ice

    OOOooooOoOoOOoo, I'm a ghoOooOooOOOost!
    ^^^Grass, 4x.

    That's where I got the idea, actually. Balanced Hackmons seems really fun.

    Smeargle with Illusion? It could pose as literally any pokemon on your team, unlike Zoroark, who can only impresonate a handful of useful pokemon. Too bad its stats are so shit, but even then, it could play some amazing mindgames.

  • OOOooooOoOoOOoo, I'm a ghoOooOooOOOost!
    Shedinja, somehow with both wonder guard and illusion.
  • No rainbow star
    I'm sure you could do some good mindfucks with Zoroark. You just need the right set

    ^^ Well, if we're giving pokemon two abilities, might as well give Blaziken Moxie on top of Speed Boost.


    ^ But the point of giving it to Smeargle is that it could literally be anything. Zoroark is such a disappointment because of how shallow its movepool is, given the ability it has.

  • No rainbow star

    @nohaynicklibre:

    Going from neutral to resistant to fighting is less useful than getting free switches on ghost moves and having an extra STAB.


    @Icalasari: Shedinja with Sturdy and Magic Guard would be better, on account of being literally impossible to kill.

    Replace Bug with Dark, and we have our first officially invincible pokemon, as long as it has non-contact moves to use against, like, Cofagrigus.

    Except that it still loses to Fire, Ghost, Dark, Flying, and, Rock moves?


    Needs to be either Wonder Guard + Magic Guard on Sableye/Spiritomb, or Sturdy + Magic Guard on Shedinja.

  • edited 2012-04-22 16:12:42
    Has friends besides tanks now

    Oh, right. Well, then, make it Ghost/Dark. Forgot that.


    ^ Yeah, those work too. Shedinja would be funnier, though, since it only has 1 HP.

    @Nyktos Oh yeah, I forgot about the STAB. Then I guess you are right.


    My problem is that I don't play competitively,only the main story. Since you find way more fighters than ghosts there I was biased

    Also, a lot of the ones we've used so far were pretty obvious, if it's not too annoying for me to point that out. I'm trying to think of some more creative ones at the moment.


    Forretress with Flash Fire?

  • Give us fire! Give us ruin! Give us our glory!

    Flareon with Flare Blitz


    I can hope. ;_;

    We all hope for that, man.


    Ooh, ooh. Staraptor with Magic Guard? Loses Reckless for extra recoil damage, but it can then spam recoil moves without the recoil. Mm. Recoilless Scarfed Brave Bird.
