I wanna breed Alolan forms in Johto Balls, like the Moon Ball. I know we could do it for Cubone, Exeggcute, and Pikachu for sure, since only their evolved forms have Alolan variants.
>>28952830It's already implied to be slower than normal. Even if it gets a new "Snow Rush" ability, it would probably only barely be faster than a normal Sandslash.
Not to mention I'd need fucking hail. At least with sandstorm I can have 3 separate types on the team immune to it. Hail would need additional effort with Magic Guard and goggles to make a team with any amount of defense, which means sacrificing better abilities and item options. I managed to make a sandstorm team just for Sandslash, but a Hail team seems like a pain in the dick to me.
