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

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.

Pokémon logic:
Gives Regigigas “Slow Start”,

Makes Mega Rayquaza

[johnbailey]

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

[mkaythen]

Regigigas, Slaking, “we ain’t never gonna get our spotlight....”

Galarian Wheezing: “I’m about to start this mans whole career”

[Socioromanticism]

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

You're welcome.

[tristanneal]

Galarian Weezing out here blessing all of these sad bois.

[ESCStroopwafel]

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

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

[kay-.]

high five to people who use Slaking with Skill Swap

[corrosivityyeetborne]

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

[darklugiaex]

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.

[ddslickteam]

Galarian Weezing: Hi Slaki-

Slaking: *So you have chosen, death*

[NachoCheeseDorito-Kun]

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

[moruze]

Let's not forget the worst of all abilities: Ash's

*Once achieving slight success, this Trainer will not win the Pokemon League for plot reasons.*



Edit: Well this did not age well

[hershy]

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

[cybo_vampire]

1:41 Here's why Durant has Truant: Pretty much all (worker) ants live very short lives (queen ants can live for decades while workers only live for only weeks or months depending on the species) because they are overworked. As a result, they constantly have to take power naps that last only minutes long while they work. Most likely, this is why Durant has Truant, cause it is referencing a worker ant's horrible sleep schedule that leaves them weak and sleep-deprived.

[DJTileTurnip]

Actually, back in Diamond and Pearl, Rotom forms were ALL Electric/Ghost, so Rotom Fans ability had use

[lordturtleduck]

Imagine regigigas, slaking and galarian weezing being in a team against a shedinja and two other Pokémon that require their abilities to work well

[khanjue]

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.
