Competitive Guide: Nucleon

[Lord Windos]

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


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.

You know, I just might do that. Thanks for the suggestion, my OTP~!

As for switching its abilities, all it would do is make It more of a hassle to gets its OP form, and does not solve any of the problems it has with its HA. The only way an alt ability would work on Nucleon is that its gets some natural, special based Nuclear moves to work with, and that the ability does something about its crippling weakness. Otherwise, switching its HA with its NA would do absolutely nothing, sad to say...
