Competitive Guide: Nucleon

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

Not just a HA-Nucleon. I want a selfbreeded full Eevee-set with positive nature, HA and 5 IV.

If only their was an alternate ability that would be just as useful for the glowing fox as Atomizate, but no so OP that it breaks everything, and natural Nuclear STABs so that it can take advantage of it without gimping itself. Nucleon needs to be fixed in someway, and this is coming from someone that despised the changes to Dramsama! The fox need some TLC...

You might want to bring your thing about Nucleon being either Uber or, well, “useless” as well as those ideas about fixing this ‘mon in general  to my Suggestions-concerning-competitive-play thread, and see what happens.
How about switching its normal ability with its hidden ability? Similar to Sylveon’s normal ability (Cute Charm)  is a bit of useless with its Defense (not Sp.Defense, that stat is great!) in mind, and the HA (Pixilate) is the favoured one for good reasons. But before you can bring on this Fairy, you have to get one with the HA in the first place… that needs effort since you can’t just encounter HA-Eevees in the wild easily and so on -  and I bet not everyone is willing to take the effort, which would (maybe?) make it less prominently seen in battle.


Also….
Imagine Nucleon, with Atomizate, in a fixed Fallout. Probably nightmare fuel.
