Ability you value most?
 
Is there an ability you value more than all of the others? The one ability that directly affects your Pokemon's performance and leads you to a win?

The ability that I appreciate more than any other is Magic Guard. It contributes immensely
to Reuniclus's sweeping ability and of course, nulls status conditions, which are a major hindrance to any Pokemon.

Must have Magic Guard on whatever can have it. And must have Cursed Body on Burungel. Or else. >:(

Levitate has proven to be a lifesaver with my frequent use of Earthquake. I've also found Technician to be useful in conjunction with moves like Fake Out, Aerial Ace, and Bite.

I value abilities that make my Pokemon immune to attacks (Levitate, Volt Absorb, Water Absorb, etc.). I also value Magic Guard.

Technician on my Scizor and Ampibom is definitely what I value the most. I'm also quite fond of Intimidate and Motor Drive in certain situations.

I love wonderguard and Shedinja is one of my favorite pokemon so IMO it's epic because only a few type attacks can hit you. So 71% of the time you have the advantage.

Drekin February 18th, 2011 8:17 PM

Super Luck is so fun to use with Absol.

BHwolfgang February 18th, 2011 9:48 PM

I'd say that Technician is very useful for my Scyther and Ambipom. Wonder Guard gets annoying after a while.

Whenever I'm bored during my adventures, I would just run around the region with a Pokemon with the Pickup ability. My Linoone always pick up something interesting every time!

Technician in Gen V has become a life saver in competitive play.

Breloom + Technician + Bullet Seed = Death, sometimes :3

But before all this it would have to be Levitate Idk why I just love it :3

Intimadate and Wonder Guard...

Wonder guard is probably THE most useful pokemon ability.

Erufuun February 22nd, 2011 4:15 PM

Flame Body, for some reason. XD I have always loved inflicting burns on physical attackers.
Out of the new abilities, Mischievous heart. Always going first (Well, priority) is just overkill!!

Lambda February 22nd, 2011 4:51 PM

Wonder Guard or Tinted lens. Both can change a whole Battle.

GirlieNinjaRose February 23rd, 2011 2:45 AM

I think Wonder Guard is pretty epic, with it I can almost win every challenge. :)

Livewire February 23rd, 2011 7:57 AM

Sand Power and Speed Boost. Both of them will wreck you, even if you come prepared for Pokemon with those abilities.

Yes, because it's really hard to defeat a Ninjask. /s

Aside from that little thing, why has no one picked Stench yet? It's like, pretty much a free Repel, which is like, uber awesome and you don't need to waste millions of Poke Dollars on Repel when you have your trusty Stench user with you!

But on a serious note, Herbivore. It's amazing to come in on Leech Seeding Nattorei with an Afrobull and getting a free attack boost from it. Also Overgrow/Blaze/Torrent in Mystery Dungeon, since it's great to see Mega Drain do like, 20 damage to 200 from a small boost.

Compoundeyes, anyone? I love it, one can never have enough accuracy.

HinaBaby February 27th, 2011 7:23 PM

Magic Guard, Flame Body, are some of the abilities I value the most.

Rai February 27th, 2011 9:37 PM

I never really pay attention to my pokemons' abilities. Though I do love Water Absorb :D

インフェルノの津波 February 27th, 2011 10:11 PM

Magic Mirror Espeon, sheer fact that it can reflect Spore and Stealth Rock.

Bad. Ass.

RYOUKI February 27th, 2011 10:47 PM

Technician. It just makes my Scizor more than interesting.

Also other normal stuffs like Water Absorb, Volt Absorb, Motor Drive. I can seriously predict what the NPCs would do, and I let my Electivire bring hell to them.

XtinaIsMeLuvinWWE February 28th, 2011 12:01 PM

I love Manectric's Static and Kadabra's Synchronize because they're just so satisfying lol :D

CptSwaggerPants February 28th, 2011 12:04 PM

Sniper or Pure/Huge power.

I think Heart of Justice is really cool and unique too.

bwburke94 February 28th, 2011 3:24 PM

Outside of Wonder Guard, I'd have to say any of the "speed doubles in weather" abilities. There's a reason Drizzle and Swift Swim on the same team are banned.

Carthx February 28th, 2011 3:27 PM

Will have to repeat what others have said - Technician, particularly on Ambipom. Turned a game around in my favour on more than one occasion.

BBA_Beyblader_321 February 28th, 2011 8:13 PM

My Rapidash's Flash Fire, and Murkrow's Insomnia are life savers! ;) They allow me to kick ass without being burned, or put to sleep~!
