>>44262129Shit, you're right. A lot of these Pokemon are balanced around the abilities they get or in the case of megas, they take up an item slot (except Mega Ray, that fucker gets his own tier to fuck around in).
But fucking Niantic just threw in a Pokemon like Shedinja and gave it the god awful stats it has in the main games (especially the 1 HP) without considering WHY it has those stats. Without it's ability it's legitimately one of the worst fucking Pokemon in the game. In Pokemon GO it's best use is as a meme you throw into a gym as a joke.
