>>36282264In Kanto Classic in Gen 6 (which was Kanto only and no items) the top Pokemon were Snorlax, Zapdos, Machamp, Clefable, Slowbro, Alakazam, Gengar, Nidoking, some Magnetons, Jolteons, Venusaurs and Chanseys. And maybe Articuno for Sheer Cold. With no abilities Machamp can't spam dynamic punch, Clefable and Alakazam aren't immune to non direct damage, Gengar can be hit with ground moves, Nidoking won't get the Sheer Force boost, and probably biggest nerf of all, Slowbro won't have Regenerator. So we'll see how good those pokemon still are. All the Alola forms suck except Marowak and Ninetales. But without items Marowak can't hold the Thick Club and without abilities Ninetales won't have auto hail to set up Aurora Veil, and it also won't have Light Clay to extend Aurora Veil. So probably none of the Alolan forms will matter. Maybe Alolan Golem can do something here. With Megas now we also have Charizard, Blastoise, Pinsir, Beedrill, Aerodactyl, Gyarados, and Kangaskhan. Gyarados is the only one here that doesn't care about the lack of abilities since Mold Breaker just negated abilities so he'll be just as good as he normally is and will probably the best Mega.
