Here is the slate:
Levitate
Regenerator
Water Absorb
Bulletproof
[LIST]
[*]Levitate was highly discussed and got a lot of positive discussion, allowing CAP 26 to ignore Spikes and switch into Ground-types like Garchomp, Excadrill, and some Landorus-T, creating more opportunities for CAP 26 to switch into play and fire off a Doom Desire.
[*]Regenerator has been pointed out to provide CAP 26 with a lot of flexibility, unlike most other abilities, allowing CAP 26 to switch into play more reliably rather than to create more opportunity like the other abilities.
[*]Water Absorb is ultimately being put on the slate for similar reasons to Levitate; it allows CAP 26 to pressure Water-types like Toxapex, Rotom-W, Tapu Fini, and force situations with offensive Water-types like Ash-Greninja and Volkraken, though unreliably. We decided on Water Absorb because of its lack of downsides when compared to Dry Skin. This ability also gives CAP 26 more opportunity to switch into play.
[*]Lastly, Bulletproof, similarly to Levitate, got a lot of positive discussion. It's being picked because it frees CAP 26 up from some unfavorable match ups against Pokemon like Mega Alakazam, Magearna, and Tapu Lele. This ability gives CAP 26 more opportunities to switch into play.
