So which should it be /vp/? Should Air Balloon be kept secret until you float over an Earthquake, or should Bronzong loudly announce that he has Levitate and is holding Safety Goggles?

Air Balloon should be hidden just like every other held item.

No other items uniquely give an immunity to an entire type. Even the luminous moss and the battery item still force you to take damage.
Abilities are different as you are expected to have an understanding of that.

Neither. The announcement is more warranted for air balloon than it is for the type chart (which is fundamental and is expected of the player to know, and is also innate to the pokemon while the pokemon can hold any item) or safety goggles (which are made against sand and hail, much more niche than the entirety of ground and ground-based attacks

>if I can point out one factor 2 things have in common, I can prove that they must be identical/congruent in every way
What silly reasoning

Are you implying a big ass balloon which can lift pokemon that weigh hundreds of lbs. would be hard to notice? Cause, shit.

When a Pokemon may or may not have an ability, that's one thing. Everyone knows trying to Earthquake something that could have Levitate is a gamble.

Losing a turn because a Pokemon had a surprise immunity, because of one chosen item out of hundreds of choices, isn't right.

That can be said of any held item though.

>How would you not notice a pokemon taking a bite of food after every turn?
>How would you not see them holding a life orb while attacking?
>How can you not notice a berry in the pokemon's hand before they eat it?

Those first two are such shitty examples that I thought this was sarcasm at first.

Leftovers and Life Orb are very easy to catch on to, all they have to do to make it known is take / inflict damage, respectively

It should be announced when pokemon that float DONT have levitate.
My chandelure has died so many times just because I always forget it can get hit with EQ.

It isn't that big of a gamble, there are only three pokemon that can have Levitate or another ability. Duskull, which never sees play outside of maybe LC; Bronzor, the same; and Bronzong.

I see your point though

I personally think so, seeing as I pretty much only use the air balloon to switch into and kill earthquake users.

As you can see, I'm hardly objective.
