Favorite Pokemon abilities and why?
 
A few of my favorite are

Levitate: for the obvious reasons. However I've seen alot of people with dig and earthquake.

Synchronize: Being able to return the favor is just polite... right?

Apdatability: I liked this originally on my eevee. Since it is my favorite and I will plan on evolving it into many different kinds... its kind of a safe one for him.

I could add alot more, but don't want to use all of the good ones. Also it also depends on how you make them compliment the abilities of your other pokemon.

Mine would probabaly have to be Mold Breaker, Speed Boost, Shadow Tag, Intimidate, Hydration, Guts, Natural Cure and Motor Drive.

I also like pressure alot.

Iceman3k November 16th, 2007 11:32 AM

Adaptability, Guts, Quick Feet, and Natural Cure are the most handy for me.
EDIT: Now I know why they never gave Tyranitar Guts, he'd be a nightmare with it :x

Xairmo November 16th, 2007 11:46 AM

I really like Inner Focus, Intimidate, Natural Cure, and Pressure
But I only like these abilities when they're not being used against me lol

Sora_8920 November 16th, 2007 11:50 AM

Guts, Speed Boost, Levitate, Natural Cure, Hydration, Motor Drive, and Synchronize. There may be more, but i'm too bored to Edit. And Adaptibility on Eevee means you Hack, just so you know..

Eevee with adaptability is 100% legit, its one of its abilities.

My mistake, then.. I wonder why they put it on Eevee...

I'm surprised no mention of Trace. Making your Porygon2 or Gardevior immune to all but super-effective attacks and picking off Shedinja with Dark Pulse/Shadow Ball has to be the best thing to do with it, although Sheddy's almost never seen. Shame more Pokemon didn't get the use of it, but it can still be effective

Ariel November 16th, 2007 1:13 PM

I'm pretty fond of all the ones mentioned above, and probably for the same reasons. =]
I'm just too lazy to list them myself =/

I also really like the Download ability.

Faceless* November 16th, 2007 1:13 PM

Trace, Levitate, Adaptability, Arena Trap, Dry Skin, Sandstream, Magnet Pull and Intimidate has always been valuable in assisting me in battles =)

EPIC PHAILURE November 16th, 2007 2:21 PM

Water Absorb - means I can set up belly drum Poliwrath on something like Milotic. "Free" healing is always good, too.
Flash Fire - more fire power and immunity, isn't that awesome?
Serene Grace - omg lol hax

Azonic November 16th, 2007 2:50 PM

Trace, Hydration, Leaf Guard, Mold Breaker, and of course, Wonder Guard xD

Syaoran November 16th, 2007 6:13 PM

Magic Guard, awesome ability. <3 Clefable.

flamehaze94 November 16th, 2007 6:57 PM

I like Trace and Serene Grace. Two primarily useful abilities.

J-Rad November 16th, 2007 7:02 PM

adaptability,wondergaurd,download,MOTOR DRIVE is kewl

Anti November 16th, 2007 9:34 PM

Traunt...no really, it's my favorite ability because it ruins a pokemon in some ways.

But as far as the best, guts I'd have to say is best. and Magnet pull is awesome! Arena trap...notice a theme? lol

Eos Aduro November 16th, 2007 9:59 PM

Natural Cure, Poison Heal, Syncronize, Speed Boost, Pressure, LEvitate, I like those.

shedinjask November 17th, 2007 5:18 AM

Magic Guard is an amazing trait. I never realized how much I loved indirect damage until I faced a Clefable.

Bishopk November 17th, 2007 6:09 AM

Color Change ftw!
Scrappy, Intimidate, Flash Fire, Levitate, Poison Heal, Speed Boost, Volt Absorb, Water Absorb.

airconditioning November 17th, 2007 6:17 AM

Wonderguard is definitely the best.

It just sucks who gets it. :P

Alter Ego November 17th, 2007 6:19 AM

Wonder Guard owns all. Yay for the signature ability of my favorite UU! ^0^ (Oy, you did not just totally dis Shedinja while I was typing that. It's not the poor pokémon's fault that the freakin' designers decided to hand Stealth Rock to everyone and his kid brother. <.<)

Magic Guard and Natural Cure are also awesome in their overall usefulness (Particularly Magic Guard; blocks Spikes and Sandstorm while also allowing some status absorption <3) and Color Change and Forecast are cool gimmicks, though the latter doesn't have much practical use,. Normal Coat is just completely out of this world. I love it for its sheer whackiness. x3 Suction Cups and Technician also deserve their honorary mentions.

Now don't get me wrong, the lesser damage absorbers are useful and all, same as status absorbers/immunities but they're just so...generic. I like my traits a bit more funky. xD

.hack November 17th, 2007 6:24 AM

its got to be inner focus my fav poke is dragonite and inner focus kiks ass

Faceless* November 17th, 2007 6:25 AM

Wonder Guard can't be Traced =\

.hack November 17th, 2007 6:28 AM

Eleventyseventy November 17th, 2007 6:48 AM

Volt Absorb/Water Absorb.

It's ultra handy.
