5KiB, 175x200, plankton grimaces as his male nurse tugs on the other end of his cathater. Thereby sending him into a trance unseen by anyone other than the native americans for centuries. His determination will save a life.jpg

I hope they make a Tough Claws equivalent, but for special moves and let it be its special ability.

It may have an HA but even if it doesn't levitate is not bad.

GF puts Levitate on bugs that don't get the Flying type but can clearly look like they can fly

Bugs with part-Flying type can't learn Fly because their type already reflects flavor.

For the same reason, bugs without part-Flying but can fly flavorwise are also given the move Fly

Unless they're gonna follow the patterns, they might give it a HA.

Hopefully something like No Guard(if it has the good moveset), or Speed Boost.

Isn't levitate to hover or suspend oneself in the air in an almost supernatural manner? I guess the Japanese name of the ability "Floating" would be more compatible for both cases where its magic levitation like Claydol or clearly flapping wings but no room for Flying-type like Flygon and Vikavolt

eh, Levitate isn't a complete ass ability. Considering it's still your typical route 2 bug mon's evolution, I'm just happy it didn't get tagged with truly ass abilities like Shield Dust or Swarm.

Samefag as >>26932708 here

Let me rephrase:
GF's logic is as follows--a bug that looks like it can fly is given one of three things to satisfy the flavor of their design: Flying-type, Levitate or the move Fly.

Pretending to understand Game Freak logic and rationalizing it with nonsense explanations and nonexistent patterns should be a bannable offense. This is even worse than the "regional birds are part Normal-type because they're just regular birds that fly" idiocy.

Never mind the fact that "it can't learn Fly BECAUSE it's a Flying-type" is the dumbest thing ever posted on /vp/ that wasn't an obvious troll attempt, Vikavolt is literally the only Bug-type with Levitate. Were you dropped on your head as an infant or did your mother just drink a lot?

At this point Levitate should be scrapped as an ability and give some sort of "flying status" to the pokemon that can obviously fly/float but aren't part flying.
Hell, the whole ability system should be redesigned.

Competitively, levitate means that if this thing is the fast frail sp. attacker everyone is saying it is, then it will have more opportunities to switch in and start killing things. Could be worse, it could have something awful like static.

>they think vikavolt will be special oriented
Grubbin and charjabug are clearly physical (attack>sp attack), Charjabug will increase attack when hit by electric moves.

Vikavolt is a taser (makes contact)- it will be a speedy physical attacker with wild charge and x scissor. Let the cries for "Volt Tackle Vikavolt" begin soon.

Consider Charjabug's ability, and consider the relationship between Charjabug and Vikavolt.
Vika will most likely be Special oriented, perhaps with comparable attack as well.
