>>18821323>There are Gengar variants that don't run Sludge Wave or Dazzling GleamYes, and they are from 2010 and before.
>Bulletproof also forces Aegislash to switch if it isn't running HP Ice.What exactly can Chesnaught do to Aegislash? Nothing, unless it carries Earthquake. And Aegi can easily 2HKO with Flash Cannon:
252+ SpA Aegislash-Blade Flash Cannon vs. 252 HP / 0 SpD Chesnaught: 204-240 (53.6 - 63.1%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Leftovers recovery
>It can also set up Spikes in front of M-Venusaur if it isn't running HP Fire, where otherwise it would get screwed by Sludge BombIt can set up spikes, but again it has nothing to threaten Venusaur. But okay, it is one of the few Poison-types who can learn Sludge Bomb but not Sludge Wave.
>Those alone already make it far more useful than Magician is.It's still worse than Overgrow, which is enough to make it a shitty ability.
