I was thinking the same!
They're all such new possibilities. It's amazing. Comatose is my favorite yet, but Corrosion and Stakeout are incredible as well.

Dazzling will prove to be a pain in the ass of plenty Pokemon, Bruxish has a nice coverage as well.

It could work if it's bulky and has a reliable recovery move

Assuming Pokemon like Bruxish and Salandit are fully one-stage with middling stats, it's gonna be interesting to see if people are gonna overlook them for their abilities

Or weakness policy if Drampa has ok bulk and Dragon Dance, doesn't even need overwhelming offensive stat's at that point.

Even something like 110/95/95/105/85/60 would be pretty okay, and do some serious damage with +3 to both attacking stats and +1 to speed. Even if a few mons will still have revenge killing opportunities.

no, it isn't.
Pokemon's "metagame" is nothing more but a glorified rock-paper-scissor game with luck factors added to it.
Stop trying to make it competitive. It's just not possible and also autistic as shit.

It already has potential to do a lot with Return if it's a physical attacker.

Quoted By:

It has the unfortunate side effect that standards for abilities are becomming higher and higher. When abilities were first introduced, only a few were fantastic/gimmicky (given to shitty pokemon like shedinja/ninjask) and there were plenty of abiities like "raise encounter rate" "prevent sp defense from dropping."

Now people kick and scream if every single new ability isn't metagame defining, or if it doesn't amazingly syngergize with a movepool, like compound eyes+hurricane+sleep powder. If a pokemon comes with a nice little ability like flinch immunity, it gets green texted into oblivion
