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

[Lord Windos]

Might also be a good idea to catch it too, if you fail to chase the anti-sloth away. Those things can be NASTY fighters with Fury Swipes, Slash, or Reversal, and it has Encore and Endure to REALLY trip up opponents. Plus, Vital Spirit means no Sleep antics on it without Ability changing, which is always nice. Slaking is less awesome, but I DO remember that Iron said that Pokemon with purely negative Abilities do get a benefit of sorts to balance them out, which the lazy brute indeed would qualify for. I'm wondering what it would be, though....

For those that are curious, here's a list of Abilities I consider almost purely of no use:

Klutz: No Held Items = A Strickly inferior Pokemon, unless it has crazy awesome Moves/quirks
Stall: Always going last = punching bag! Only good this is for is making Payback always good or Counter Moves decent, but that's a pretty slim utility.
Truant: Having to do a Loyalty Roll to act? Not good!
Lazy: Sleep upon being sent out is not good, period, unless the target can't be Statused again until it wakes up.
Light/Heavy Metal: Not good in the slightest, unless they are being Targeted with Low Kick/Grass Knot or have Heavy Slam. Even Pressure is more generally useful than THAT.
Defeatist: Halving your Offensive Stats if you go 1/2 HP? Self sabotage at its finest.
