    Yeah, I meant trace.

    I'd still probably use that over Truant. Defeatist > Truant > Slow Start on Offensive Pokemon. Defensive Pokemon only care about Truant.

    Regigigas should've gotten ANYTHING. ANYTHING. Except Truant. That'd just be Gamefreak overkilling and being raw troll.

    To be honest, I think Wevile should have gotten Technician. Think about it. 90 Ice Shards with Tech+STAB, 135 Bite with Tech+STAB, and even stronger Pursuit than Scizor, and more powerful coverage moves with boosted Low Sweep, Aerial Ace, and Fake Out. You're looking at the new (and cooler looking) Scizor of 5th gen (would of been better in 4th gen with less fighting types though).

    I've been thinking about this and Ampharos should have gotten Thick Fat. Resistance to Bolt/Beam/Thrower would be awesome.

    Unown is too purely epic to have to settle for such a paltry ability whose only effects let Unown run away from its attacks better.
    No, Unown must have Truant. It is so powerful that it needs to express its contempt for you by not attacking every other turn, thereby giving you a chance to actually try attacking it...if you think you have the Guts.

    MultiScale Chansey... just F*** everything

    Contrarian on Scrafty, it would really fit (increased by the fact that it has no moves to abuse it)

    Contrary on Dialga and Rayquaza. They are the only 2 pokemon (bar Smeargle and Dragon-Arceus) who learn Draco Meteor AND Overheat. STAB Nasty Plot + Coverage Nasty Plot? Yes please. :) Also, Adaptable Palkia and Tarrakion. Boost those powerful offensive STAB moves even more. :)

    Pure power slaking. Banned from ubers.

    No guard lapras. 100% accurate sheer cold and fissure for the lols XD

    On a more serious note, what about levitate magnezone and metagross? Magnezone is clearly floating whenever it is seen in the anime, and several of metagross' pokedex entries specifically say that it can fly by tucking in its four legs.

    What I think(This is gonna be kinda huge)
    Gengar shouldn't have levitate(His not floating),he should have an ability where Ghost and Dark type moves dont effect you.
    Magnezone & Metagross with Levitate.
    Smeargle should have an ability where it can have any ability.(Give it contrary,Leaf Storm,Draco Meteor,Overheat and Psycho Boost.MUHUHAHAHA)
    Starmie should have something like Swift Swim/Rain Dish

    I can't remember if it does on Pokemon Battle Revolution (but most of the animations are the same anyway), but Metagross tucks in all four legs and flies into the enemy on Pokemon Colosseum when it does a tackling type move such as Shadow Rush, Take Down or Double-Edge. Still, I wouldn't say no to Levitate Metagross... but it'd essentially be an offensive Bronzong. Slap Ice Punch on it and make it a Dragon and Gliscor counter?

    Levitate metagross would definitely become THE dragon counter imo. He also wrecks most things who rely on earthquakes to take down the beast (gliscor in general). Maybe a gimmicky magnet rise metagross set could do the job? :D

    I'd love Levitate Metagross. But more than that I'd want Regigigas to have something /decent/ and not Slow Start. I got my hopes up when I found out about Dream World abilities, but alas, Regigigas was excluded. No, don't suggest Truant either.

    Defeatist would've been a decent ability for Regigigas.

    Better than Slow start at least. Defeatist definitely would have been a reasonable choice for a dream world ability for regigigas. It doesn't make it too overpowered. I wouldn't have minded a guts regigiga however XD

    Groudon with Sheer Force
    Kyogre with Herbivore (making Ferrothorn near-invalid as a counter and increasing the popularity of physical sets)
    Rayquaza with Levi... kidding.
    Rayquaza with Thick Fat would be amazing, giving it 4x resistence to Fire and only 2x weakness to Ice
    Palkia with Swift Swim
    Dialga with Pure Power (WTF)
    Giratina with Cursed Body (O_O)
    Spiritomb with Magic Guard. Sableye gets a boost, Spiritomb should as well.
    Levitate Magnezone

    Slaking with Slow Start. It is a lazy Pokemon after all and I guess it gets more serious after a beating :D
    I think Machamp should have gotten an ability where each move attacks 2 times since he has soo many arms =/ (The power will divide, like dpunch hits twice each time with 50 Power :D (but it won't always hit now >:3))
    Weavile and Technician. For petes sake give it some respect, Sneasel is LC Uber.. I can see why it doesn't want to evolve '-'
    All I can think of for now

    Arceus with Pure Power.
    Choice Band+Extremespeed+Pure Power=FTWFTWFTW

    Joking aside, Chandelure with Levitate. It would make it a bit less broken, and still have a good ability.

    What, no Flash Fire Ferrothorn, Scizor, Forretress? ¬_¬
    On a more serious note, Iron Barbs Forretress, Lapras, etc.
    Drough Volcarona, Camerupt.
    Drizzle Wailord, Mantine.
    Multiscale Seviper, Salamace, Tyranitar, Kingdra, Drudrgion (speeling >_>), etc.
    Hydration Ferrothorn c:

    ...
    Thats about it for now.

    keeping flavor in mind, I'd like to see:

    1) Adaptability Meloetta (she can change forms if the situation calls for it, that's pretty adaptable, and it would be the go-to choice for Pirouette to make Close Combat ridiculous. Aria's up in the air since all of her attacks also benefit pretty heavily from Serene Grace - she racks up a lot of sp.def drops.)
    2) a new ability for Genesect that makes Technoblast always crit, to see if anyone will use it then. if he ever ends up as a full-time Uber, I'd like to see him get Speed Boost.
    3) Keldeo...hmm. from a flavor perspective, Steadfast would fit, but he doesn't need that. i'll go with Quick Feet. it'd be nice to see more of that.
