Why does gamefreak create negative abilities? I can understand truant, slow start, and stall for balancing purposes, but why make normalize, or defeatist?

Defeatist was because designers wanted Archeops to have stats based off it's Dewey decimal numberbut didn't want it to be more powerful then other fossils.
Normalize is so that a normal type pokemon could use any move and have it count as a STAB move.

Normalize isn't necessarily negative. It was given to a shitty Pokemon in the first place, but at least it made it able to use Thunder Wave while still affecting Ground types. It was better than Delcatty's other abilities.

As for Defeatist, GF didn't intend on making Archeops a top-tier Pokemon, so they needed to cripple it a little bit to keep it in a lower tier. Without Defeatist, that thing would be OP as fuck. People would be running sash sets and it would be incredibly difficult to counter.

I don't get people complaining about Defeatist. Why do you care about it reaching half health?
With those defenses and HP it's not going to last a hit.

Fair enough for both, but what the fuck is up with klutz, illuminate, or weak armor?
