10 Pokemon with Useless Abilities

Pokémon logic: Gives Regigigas “Slow Start”, Makes Mega Rayquaza

You're missing my favorite one: Metagross' hidden ability is Light Metal, which cuts its weight in half. You might think this is good to decrease damage taken from Low Kick or Grass Knot, which deal more damage the heavier the target, however, Metagross is so heavy that it takes max damage from these moves even with Light Metal

If slow start halved regigigas' attack and speed for 3 turns instead of 5, it might be somewhat useable in lower tiers

Notable thing about the Rotom's is that in Gen 4, they didn't change types. So Fan-Rotom was still an Electric/Ghost type. It's probably why it maintained Levitate.

Fan rotom, a flying type, has levitate. Flying types are immune to ground attacks. Levitate negates ground attacks. This pairing is like washing your car in the rain.

Regigigas, Slaking, “we ain’t never gonna get our spotlight....” Galarian Wheezing: “I’m about to start this mans whole career”

There's also Stunfisk with Limber. Since electric types can no longer get paralyzed, Stunfisk is kinda in the same boat as Rotom-Fan, so much so, that Pokémon Showdown random battles where you get a Stunfisk (non-Galarian), will always hold a Cheri berry. You know, so that you REALLY won't get paralyzed. xD

I feel so bad for regigigas specifically in legends arceus, since abilities arent in the game. Yet they still gave regigigas slow start still.

Durant gets Truant because it's a "true ant." You're welcome.

Galarian Weezing out here blessing all of these sad bois.

Some other effects should apply to the useless abilities, making them no longer or sort of no longer useless. For Defeatist, it should give the pokemon doubled attack stat in its first half of HP. For Illuminate, it should multiply light based move damage. For slow start, make it only apply to the first three turns in battle. These are just my thoughts.

Honestly slow start is a really cool ability in concept, I just wish it worked differently. Something like this: Regi starts off the battle with -2 or -3 speed and atk (not affected by neutralizing gas) but then just like speed boost it gives you a +1 in speed and attack every turn. Completely underwhelming in the early turns and would still have counters but if you can survive with it for a few turns running mind games you could get a really hard hitter. That's what they were trying to do with attacks like fury cutter and rollout but regi could actually pull them off and punish stall teams

high five to people who use Slaking with Skill Swap

"Damp does nothing on Jellicent" Shiny hunters: "Hold our Shiny Charm."

If I recall correctly, Slow Start used to be three turns, which was much more manageable. Also, Durant having Truant makes sense as it is saying that "This ant is the one out of many that is lazy" which actually happens

10:30 It makes it very nice for shiny hunting, and since Frillish is fairly easy to get, you can avoid a shiny with an explosion move from killing itself. Other than that, yeah, but it is not useless in all situations.

It would be even funnier if Delibird's Hidden Ability was Early Bird.

I have a theory about slow start: The other Pokémon in your team get jealous of regigigas so they break his legs to cripple him and it takes five turns for him to recover

Ah yes, flying type with levitate, good to put an air balloon on it Edit: and magnet rise

Some changes I would make to two of the last three abilities that I am surprised they haven't made; Run Away - Now let's you switch out for free. Regardless of Arena Trap, Shadow Tag, Wrapping moves, etc. This would make it ACTUALLY usable in battles. Illuminate - Now acts like Intimidate but with Accuracy. This will be annoying and likely not used competitively but I think that would be so fun! Also, I feel it should be like Flash without having to use Flash. I suppose.
