Because we're operating on a schedule. There's no point in opening another poll when it could easily end in another tie. This was quick and fair. :)

 

[Kostas]

I think Poison/Dark is the best.

 

[gimmepie]

I dunno, I mean apart from just looking like it's begging for a fire typing, I think Poison/Fire makes for a great anti-meta type considering it resists a lot of prominent types in the OU meta. Ground could be an issue, but not if we keep Levitate.

 

[Desert Stream~]

I think poison/fire would be good! Couldn't we keep levitate as an ability or does it always change?

 

[shubham2207]

Yeah Whatever..

Poison/Fire is what I am going for..Pretty obvious I guess

 

[FireSnow]

Finally!!! Weezing is getting a mega!!!

Anyways, I also would like to see it become a Posion/Fire. If we allow it to keep Levitate, it becomes one of the more dangerous 'mons in the meta.

Plus, I have been begging for a Poison/Fire type for years and I can't let this opportunity pass me by.

 

[Sonata]

Poison/Dark yo. Best typing for what it has to work with.

 

[punkysaur]

poison/dark.Or to make it a great threat poi & steel with levitate!

 

[gimmepie]

The poll is going up!

 

[shubham2207]

Voted fot poison/fire, obvious choice because of its design and movepool..

 

[FireSnow]

I just can't say no to a Poison/Fire type for Weezing...It is just too right for me. I can only hope that it actually happens.

 

[gimmepie]

Poison/Fire wins it! So what abilities should we consider?

 

[Megan]

With Poison/Fire it basically begs to get Earthquake'd/Earthpower'd. At the same time, not having Black Sludge means its only recovery option is Painsplit. Add a weakness to Stealth Rock and it's going to be hell of a fun using it defensively. In that case both Levitate and Regenerator would be nice to have, preferably at the same time.

I suppose it could still go somewhat offensively, as a decent tank (can't really imagine it having a high base Speed stat). Adaptability, or maybe Sheer Force, sounds nice, since Poison/Fire looks like decent offensive coverage.

 

[FireSnow]

I agree that either it should stick with Levitate or gain Regenerator as that ground weakness is major hole in its defense. Either of those abilities would help a lot to mitigating that problem and give it more longevity

 

[gimmepie]

I think Levitate is the way to go myself. EQ/EP will wipe it out instantly otherwise. It's probably better to go with the need for good hazard removal support than to leave a big a weakness for the sake of losing one.

 

[gimmepie]

And this is why Fire is bad........

We now have an inherit SR weakness and one-shot potential from a very common move. Therefore you're forced to run Levitate if you want to use it defensively.

Therefore i am actually going to along an offensive route, based on a fast killing machine. Weezing now has access to STAB Fire Blast which is great. In terms of ability? I'd love something such as Sheer Force; boosting all 4 of its offensive moves? Yes please!

In afterthought, you COULD run Filter.

It leaves you weak to SR and makes EQ even scarier sure but it also works pretty well vs a fair few other types/threats.

Filter and Sheer Force though, interesting ideas :D

 

[punkysaur]

Levitate.Cause mold breaker would still daint it.

 

[Earth Traveler]

*sighs for a million years at seeing Poison-Fire typing*

Well since a majority voted to pigeonhole the concept into basically needing Levitate, I'm not sure what to support besides the three abilities already suggested...

I don't know. The Create-a-Pokemon project over at Smogon made a Poison-Fire Pokemon and gave it Dry Skin, which might not be a horrible idea? anymore than Poison-Fire was a horrible idea. >.>

 

[gimmepie]

Apologies for being late. The ability poll will be up shortly!

Edit: Doing it now!
