>>21016273>>21016364>[X] used some other physical attack!>Gallade fainted!There's probably a minimum of fifty other abilities that it could have gotten that would have made it better in doubles AND given it an ability that consistently functions in singles beyond negating the odd Iron Head flinch hax.
>>21016384>Fake Out is everywhereYes, but would Gallade be good at taking on common Fake Out users?
Are the better ways of handling Fake Out, like, say, Ghosts, Protect/prediction, other Inner Focus users, etc.?
Is using your mega slot and specifically NOT using Mega Kangaskhan, Mawile, X-zard, Salamence, Gardevoir, Manectric, Gengar, Lucario (base form has Inner Focus) etc. actually worth it?
People saying "hurf it's a shit useless ability" are a tad mistaken, it does have a bit of use... but for a Mega form? That has to compete with all the mega pokemon who have SIGNIFICANTLY better and more general-purpose abilities? Fucking Inner Focus? It's like giving Insomnia to a mega form (that doesn't have the BST and offenses of MMY.) Great, I can take up my mega slot to combat sleep-spam: or I could modify my team to handle that and use some mega that's much better.
It's just a terrible ability, all things considered.
