You know for a fact that if Teravolt and Turboblaze were to introduce today, they would slap a 50% boost of Fire or Electric moves respectively. And the kyurem fusions would get shit like 'As One'.
-
Vital Spirit has the hidden ability to make wild Pokémon appear at higher levels. Insomnia doesn’t have this, meaning they’re technically not exact clones… until Gen 8, where this extra functionality was removed for some reason.
-
7:13 Abilities like Cloud Nine and Unaware are like Looney Tunes. The Pokémon is so undeterred that actual reality fails against their sheer will...or lack of it. Abomasnow: "Ha! Bet you're freezing in this snowstorm I just summoned, huh?" Psyduck: "What snow." Abomasnow: "The snow I just summoned with my Snow Warnin- wait, what happened to the snow?! What did you do?" Psyduck: "Psy-yai-yai?!"
-
Shadow Tag and Arena Trap are almost the same as well, the difference is that arena trap doesn't work with flying/levitate and ghost mons and Shadow Tag just doesn't work with ghost and opposing shadow tag mons.
-
Emergency exit should’ve been a combo of whimp out and regenerator. Basically you swap out automatically if your health is below 50 but when you swap back in you have 25-30% health more just like regenerator. Would made more sense and made golisopod somewhat better.
-
There's an unimplemented ability in Gen 3 called Cacophony, which is a clone of Soundproof, seemingly reskinned as a Pokemon being too loud to notice opposing sound moves
-
Compound Eyes and Super Luck have the same overworld effects in the later games that they up your chances in encountering wild Pokémon with a held item.
-
Battle Armor & Shell Armor
-
2:00 Mold Breaker, Teravolt and Turboblaze all ignore Disguise.
-
Keen Eye and Illuminate do the same thing now
-
Plus and Minus also work the same as of Gen 5. Theres also Solid Rock, Prism Armor and Filter, Lingering Aroma and Mummy. Not necessarily same abilities, but there are a few cases of "upgraded" abilities like Thick Fat protecting from Fire and Ice while Heatproof only protects from Fire or Water Bubble compared to Water Veil and Magma Armor not only protects against burns but also gives Water moves an increased power boost.
-
Everyone clown on Delibird for having both Insomnia and Vital Spirit, but nobody talks about the Klink line having both Plus and Minus.
-
Insomnia should let you sleep yourself, but wake up a turn early so that its distinct from both Early Bird and Vital Spirit. Maybe have it wake up on the second turn it was asleep, even if it's not on the field so that way it isn't a sitting duck
-
I can't wait for the similar abilities vid
-
I remember when full metal body was released some poke-tubers theorized that it could prevent all negative effects so Solgaleo, in theory, could use super power with no draw back. Sadly it was literally just clear body 😅
-
I believe Vital spirit has an overworld effect making it slightly different from Insomnia. If the mon is 1st in the party, you encouter higher level Pokemon in the wild. Not 100% sure but I think it works that way
-
Tera Shell is functionally idential to multiscale only it procs on every effect of a multihit move, an interesting sidegrade to shadow shield
-
insomnia and vital spirit used to be different since vital spirit also increase the chance of high level random encounter, which are no longer a hing in scarlet and violet
-
bro finding multiple possible erros in showdown in one video. Peak cinena
-
Purifying salt is like immunity, insomnia, limber and water veil together! And also resistance to ghost moves for some reason... 🤔
