[Meta thread] Iron's PokeRole Adventure: The Skull Ruins

[Dragonstrike]

I totally love how Shiva as the one who actually isn't as strong in battling as the others of the group has made it to evolve the only known Pokemon with that Ability. Oh, and according to Bulbapedia it cannot be copied with Trace, Role Play etc., HAH! <3

*shrug*  Not sure how that really correlates since you don't have to be a strong battler to easily take advantage of such a massive stat boost, but alright.

Book says it too.  Trace has a hard time with most signature abilities.  But despite what the book says, it can copy Wonder Guard in the games.  Since none of us have any Trace or Wonder Guard users currently, though, and Juliet doesn't know Role Play yet, it's a rather moot point for the time being.  

In a similar vein, though, Entrainment also can't change a target's ability to or from any of the same things that Trace/Role Play can't copy, so keep that in mind too.

But the user can change their own ability with Role Play regardless of what their original ability is, so Juliet would be able to use Role Play despite having Illusion, and then could Skill Swap what she copied to another pokemon.  (Skill Swap would fail if she tried to use it while she still had Illusion)  When she knows those moves, that is.
