SmashCAP 3: Ability Poll

[Wave⁂]

So ANYWAYS. Can someone please get that poll up?

We're focusing on abilities as a whole. I'm going to call it Reflection at the moment, but our choices seem to be (for the poll):

Reflection
Reflection / No Guard
Reflection / Adaptability

No Guard:
Any attacks used by and on this Pokémon will never miss.

Adaptability:
STAB modifier becomes x2 instead of x1.5.

Assuming this is still the ice/ fighting type, I'd rather not have adaptability because that's like giving something like garchomp adaptability. Unless we make it's offensive stats piss poor, which would allow us to give it more flexibility by giving it a decent BST still, meaning we could give it supped Defensive stats with pissy offensive ones boosted by adaptability.

No Guard is fine as well, but no way in hell will this get Sheer Cold! Unless hell freezes over.... and if this got sheer cold, he could make that happen. I know OHKO clause, but still. =/

What is reflection?

 

[Greenstreet]

Is there a post arguing for each side? I'd like to see some theorycrafting on each if it exists.

 

[mood4food77]

this is the normal/??? type

having reflection makes him awesomely unique, no gaurd and adaptability means he is probably going to an offensive pokemon no matter what

with reflection only, he can be very versatile

 

[Fuelbi]

I'd prefer an offensive pokemon, which is why I went with adaptibility

No Guard and Adaptability are both great abilities to have for offensive Pokemon...

Well, I'd prefer some power over the chances of an attack hitting...

 

[Terywj [태리]]

Ahh okay. I was just making sure you weren't being ignorant in your selection.

This poll will close tomorrow (6/5) sometime in the afternoon ~4:30 PM

No guard GIVES you power. you are allowed to use stronger attacks without worrying about accuracy. Blizzard > Ice Beam and **** like that.

Roacherman is just being more situational. We aren't sure what moves SmashCAP 3 will get at this point, so that's why he went with Adaptability.

 

[Riddle]

My problem with aadaptability is that normal stab is bad

 

[Wave⁂]

No Guard special attacker would be interesting, I guess, but then again you might as well give it 20% more base (special) attack. Also Pressure.

 

[UltiMario]

No Focus Blast misses.

MUK.
YEAH.

It'd need to be part fighting to make it useful though, so it doesn't apply to this.

 

[Riddle]

Gengar gets use of out focus blast. Dont know what you're talking about

 

[rockem7]

Voted Adaptability because I completely forgot that this was going to be more of a SpA poke. If I could, I would change my vote to No Guard. D:

 

[Riddle]

Wow rockem I thought we were friends.

Lol, I told you that I forgot. It's been a couple days since I read anything about SmashCaP 3, and I just figured that Return STAB would be decent. But then after I read some stuff, I realized that voting for Adaptability made me seem like an idiot.

 

[Terywj [태리]]

This will close tonight at 8:30, even though it's pretty obvious what will be the victor at this current point.

 

[Terywj [태리]]

No Secondary Ability dominated this poll.

Requesting lock.

 

[Fuelbi]

I don't see why not due a secondary ability.

Adds more variety and what not...

 

[Terywj [태리]]

I stated this to be closed for a reason...
