I am not shure Meowth understood ,so let  me clarify. Moves with added effects are great I was refering to static,poisin point,and cute charm since those abilitys would never be of any use except maybe vs a multi turn physical attack. About super luck I thought crit was going away in PU ,so whats the point in super luck then?

@ Yukimenoko Ye like Jerry said slow start balances Regigigas.

@ Jerry Whats the point of the ability if ever time someone catches one it will be "ew this emolga has static time to catch some until I get one with moter drive" I am not seeing it. You don't really even need to replace them ,but thats another topic altogether.

Arctus:
I may be wrong here, but in terms of the whole Super lick and the critical hit thing, i'm fairly sure PU just took out random crits, so super luck, which boosts critical hit ratio, then gives you a 6.25% chance of a critical hit, so it is possible, which, if you then use a move like night slash, which has a high crit hit ratio along with super luck, then you have a +2 chance of getting a crit hit, or a 12.5% chance, and then there are also items and moves which raise it further, but thats not the point. The point is, super luck is still a useful ability.

And about the dumping a pokemon because it doesnt have the right ability, there is no one singly "right" ability, in terms of emolga, some people may want static, whereas i prefer Volt absorb (Emolga lost Motor Drive). So every team is going to be different, and each pokemon can use the abilities it has been given well, so i have no objection as to how things stand now with all the balanced pokemon so far.

Not everyone is like the someone you're saying. Plus is it harder to catch another Pokemon with the correct ability than to breed Pokemon with the correct IVs? I think not.

To get the team you think is the best shouldn't be something you can get on a plate, but must give effort to get. Yet, catching another Pokemon just for the sake of an ability is really a minor issue. What do you really have to do? Emolga has two abilities, meaning you have a 50% chance of getting one ability or the other. By 3 catches, you would usually get what you were looking for. If not, then you're just unlucky and have to try more :P

Even with Pokemon with 3 abilities, you should get what you want by 6 tries at most.

Desbear:
Just a note, NEVER try and make a serious point at 2 in the morning.. Just disregard everything I said about togekiss, I thought superluck was actually serene grace.. Ok. on the poison point, static, and stuff like that subject: those are completely viable, like toxicroak, give him that ability, and he is a physical pokemon, so your likely to get poisoned.

nightshade06:
Poison point and static are both very good abilities imo....
