Every Identical Pokémon Ability Ever 

*0.0000000000000000000000001 if you use it It happened to me once in my life

Why is this so true? Because of this I have an innate fear of using contact moves on Elec types

This is why you always use special moves on electric types. Even if they don’t have Static or have +6 in SpDef, always use special.

@@PansyPops or just use a non contact physical move like Earthquake Special moves ≠ non contact move Physical ≠ contact

Flamebody be like

You have amused me. Thank you.

Agreed

In an admittedly less "punny" way, Second Wind would also work well for Fighting-Types

When “Second Wind” replaces one of Hawlucha’s abilities, for the fact that it’s Fighting/Flying so both the pun and the intended meaning of “second wind” apply here.

The Dark-Type version is “Curtain Call” and the Ground-Type version is “Dig Deep”

@@pepelagarto8110 I remember it was in the Ultra Moon Randomizer Nuzlocke but I forget which episode.

@@thepotatotaxi2430 we got the joke, kinda obvious even

I feel it's more like golisopod is more tactical and ends a battle if it can't win

I wish it had regenerator as I feel like that would be a great ability for it

My small change to Emergency Exit: Even if the Pokémon went under half of its HP it will still attack in the turn. This would make Golisopod a bit more dangerous because you can't force it to retreat anymore!

I mean it's a good idea Like if you want to give a pokemon Punk Rock, but the pokemon isn't based Rock music.

@@aaronking2020 Pokémon like chatot meloetta and flygon might get an ability like thay

@Jeremy Parks the Pokémon company is a part of game freak They aren't the same thing

well yeah I mean lunala can't have multiscale if it...oh i don't know has no scales

And Shining.

Bruh everyone knows that Gallade is the tapu not fomantis

THANK YOU

There’s identical abilities (cloud nine, air lock), equivalent abilities (blaze, swarm, torrent or defiant and competitive ) and similar abilities, ( motor drive, volt absorb, lightning rod).

He states multiple times in the video that these are abilities the game considers the same-

@@Sanas_Shy_Language where does the game consider them the same? I don't recall Bulbapedia or other websites listing Torrent and Blaze on the same page.

You dont need to record your screen to turn powerpoint into a video as powerpoint can export your presentations into video natively

Yeah, like I said it's the game's classification, so I guess the functionality of Cotton Down was different enough to not be counted the same.

There are two key differences with Cotton Down 1) it doesn't requires contact 2) it affects everyone on the field It looks extremely similar, but is actually quite different

@@shytendeakatamanoir9740 was just gonna comment that

@@emperorcubone where are you getting your information?

He didnt take the picture for Misty Surge-

You guys know me so well...

Right? Like the Protein item is already in the game so you'd think they would realize it's different...

To be fair, protean isn't a commonly used word.

@@robertlupa8273 Absolutely correct. And for that reason, I was thankful that Emperor Cubone also taught how to pronounce it

@@emperorcubone True. But I do admit that it is not an everyday sort of word which makes me more appreciative that you even included a tutorial on proper pronunciation

@@robertlupa8273 but the fact that it's uncommon and spelled differently should be clues that it's not pronounced the same. Better to look it up instead of just assume.

Yeah, there's several abilities that could do better with wider distribution...

Oh ya the only way I think I seen it activate was swapping in a fighting type mon when my ghost was on the field

Well, justified is a real good ability to punish dark moves spam like knock off + most ghost and Psychic types die to a single drak move so why even bother give them justified

But why would you stay in on those types?

I would argue that it should only be given to pokemon against whom dark is not very effective. I wouldn't want to stay in on a dark type move with a psychic or ghost type because it could get knocked out easily. I think the point is to switch into a dark type attack with a fighting type to punish your opponent for using that attack.

Fly dive dig Solar beam Sky attack Razer wind Rock wrecker Hyper beam Blast burn Frenzy plant Hydro cannon Roar of time Idk I ran out of effort

@@popnpets8022 Tackle is just a normal type version of the second turn of dig!

Agreed, and "Equivalent" would work too.

Honestly I didn't know about most of them either except the egg hatching thing, so I guess we all learned something.

Ah, I see what you did there...

@@emperorcubone finally, I can experience love (I have oblivious)

Tell me about it...

They aren't even repeat abilities. This is just an explanation of most of the abilities on the game. Extremely misleading title. An identical ability would be Mold Breaker and Turbovolt/Blaze, not just abilities that have boosting effects, becasue those are inherently different in functionality and area of focus, and thus, not identical at all.

I’ve always thought it was strange that it was still affected by self-inflicted stat drops. Like would the Regis really be that OP if they weren’t affected by Curse or Super Power’s drops? Would Metagross with Hammer Arm’s? Literally the only Pokémon that I think could be too much at this point would be Dragapult with Draco Meteor, but the ability has been like this for 5 generations before it was introduced, so that’s a silly argument imo.

@@Sleeper800 I agree

Or 135 with STAB.

It prevents all statuses, but you're counted as having Sleep while not actually having it…whatever that difference is.

@@BioniclesaurKing4t2 the difference is that you can't use rest but you can use sleep talk

Imagine a Snorlax using a normal one with like giga impact. You're past tense

@@PinkGoldBeans6197 that’d at best be only used in one vs one because recharge moves are trash that almost have no competitive use

Yeah, the only real reason to use it is for the faster egg hatching...

It is a nice way to signal that you’d never use, for example, Slugma or Magcargo seriously.

And that difference is the reason it wasn't mentioned; Fur Coat has no caveats, and so they are considered separate.

@@emperorcubone You literally said Dry Skin and Rain Dish are identical and it’s the exact same principle, same ability but with a Fire weakness

@@profroakhazatoke but dry skin also gives you a water immunity while rain dish does not, so they only share one property which isn't enough to make them the same, more like a variation. Actually he should have put the title of the video as Every ability with a variation, because while there are duplicate abilities most that he mentioned in the video and just variants.

The same way he could call the video “identical” when many of these are not identical. Also, his excuse about there being a caveat doesn’t explain why he put in other similar (not identical) abilities with caveats but excluded this one. I think he forgot that one but didn’t want to admit it. Another difference that makes Fluffy a little different from Fur Coat is that Fur Coat reduces damage from physical attacks while Fluffy reduces it if they make physical contact, which sounds basically the same, but even some special moves like Draining Kiss make physical contact and would get the reduced damage by Fluffy but not Fur Coat, and moves like Earthquake are physical attacks and get the reduced damage from Fur Coat, but don’t cause the attacker to make physical contact and thus get no damage reduction from Fluffy. Anyway, both abilities reduce damage from mostly physical attacks (as most physical attacks do make contact and fewer special ones do), so if his video is going to mention similar abilities despite the title calling them identical abilities, you’d think it would have been included.

It’s too bad it doesn’t come with a power boost for said attacks.

@@nintendolife25 Technically, it does, since Primarina then gets STAB for them.

@@Compucles Sorry, I meant a boost aside from the STAB.

Scorched Earth, for Ground maybe? Sounds more like a Fire thing though...

Tinted lens?

@@pokemonftw3652 Whenever you have a Pokémon with it in the first team slot, even if it's knocked out, it increases odds of wild Pokémon holding items

@@caseygibson7266 that’s Compound Eyes

He went over that towards the end of the video so I'm not sure if there's really enough to talk about to make it it's own video

Wanderesq had the same idea as you, but commented it earlier. I looked at the comments newest to oldest, and this was commented after. _I smell a comment thief_

Well thank you! Hopefully that will change soon enough.

Got tired of typing? Yeah, I underestimated how many there were too...

Okay, sure but the type change only happens after selecting a different typed move, that's the main point...

LIQUID VOICE DOESN'T CONVERT NORMAL-TYPE MOVES, IT CONVERTS SOUND BASED MOVES! NOT ALL NORMAL-TYPE MOVES ARE SOUND BASED!

Right, but that's a move. So that's a totally different category; I mean there's plenty of moves that lower Attack but that doesn't mean the move Growl is the same as the ability Intimidate...

Just don't hurt yourself in your confusion!

Get a spinda to skill swap own tempo on you!

but it removes literally EVERY ability

Right? But now a Grass type one has to get it too...

@@emperorcubone the gen 10 grass starter gonna be Uber tier I’m calling it

I know! I wish they were used more...
