- Pokémon Abilities come in varying forms of usefulness but sometimes it seems they liked one they created so much they decided to do it again, just under a different name! So let's take a look at each ability that shares its basis with another...

@@pepelagarto8110 I remember it was in the Ultra Moon Randomizer Nuzlocke but I forget which episode.
@@thepotatotaxi2430 we got the joke, kinda obvious even
The way Arceus bounced made me realize that he's probably using PowerPoint for all this, proving that all you really need is a way to record your screen and a working microphone
You dont need to record your screen to turn powerpoint into a video as powerpoint can export your presentations into video natively
You missed Primarina's liquid voice, which converts normal type moves into water type.
LIQUID VOICE DOESN'T CONVERT NORMAL-TYPE MOVES, IT CONVERTS SOUND BASED MOVES! NOT ALL NORMAL-TYPE MOVES ARE SOUND BASED!
Fun fact, Static actually has 100% of activating if your opponent has it, but a 0% when it's your pokemon
*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
I kinda like the change from Wimp Out to Emergency Exit. They’re the same, which shows how the Pokémon are related, but Emergency Exit just has a cooler name, which I think makes it seem like Goliospod is still kind of a scaredy cat but just doesn’t wanna seem like it
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!
"Second Wind" would be a great name for a Flying-type Overgrow/Blaze/Torrent/Swarm ability.
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”
Pokémon company: Okay, we want to give this same ability effect to this other Pokémon, but the naming convention doesn’t match up.
Gamefreak: How about this name, but it does the same thing.
Pokémon company: BRILLIANT!!!
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
By Pokémon company do you mean… Nintendo?
@ 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
The only problem with this video is that it's an explanation of different abilities, not identical ones. The majority of these abilities function completely differently from each other. A boost to water attacks is not the same as a boost to fire attacks. Identical is Protean and Libero, which just have different names but the identical effect.
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.
Fun fact
Serene grace and sheer force do NOT count high crit rates as a possible added effect
18:58
The four Tapus: Koko, Bulu, Lele, and Fomantis
Bruh everyone knows that Gallade is the tapu not fomantis
Technician boosts moves by 50%
Example- a 60 bp move would be 90 bp after technician boost
Cotton Down works like Gooey and tangling hair
Gallade Doesn't get Misty Surge
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-
Thank you for pronouncing "protean" correctly, and teaching everyone the correct pronunciation. It is an actual word and not something TPC came up with
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.
This popped into my mind last week when I saw the description of some abilities, I was like "This seems like something emperor cubone would make a video about" and here we are.
You guys know me so well...
Real quick, Rattled doesn't actually give you the weaknesses of the Psychic-Type, it just raises speed when you're hit with those moves. The whole thing about you being scared of them is just flavor text to explain why it's specifically the "common fear" types that trigger it.
Most of these abilities are "similar", not "identical". I also pointed this out on your video "Every Identical Pokémon Attack Ever".
Still an interesting video though.
Agreed, and "Equivalent" would work too.
They should give some psychic and ghost pokemon justified. Fighting types won't realistically get hit by dark moves that often.
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.
Oof, that’s a LOT of repeat abilities
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.
Did you know?: Similar to how torrent and overgrow are effectively the same ability with some variation, every move in Pokemon is just a version of dig!
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!
I think plus and minus should also activate if the user is on electric Terrian so it can be used in solo battles
I also like my idea of flammable as an ability to attract fire type moves and instead of raising a stat, it adds the fire type to the user before damage is applied
I love the thought of hatching an egg by placing it on a steam engine. "where's my togepi? this is just a hard-boiled egg." "that's weird, i left it on the steam engine. oh..."
Clear body doesn't stop every stat lowering
It only stops non-self-inflicted ones
So stuff like shell smash and hammer arm would still lower your stats
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
I like when Emperor Cubone is a Mold Breaker
Ah, I see what you did there...
@@emperorcubone finally, I can experience love (I have oblivious)
The moves boosted by Technician wouldn’t be boosted to 120 base power. It only boosts moves by 50%, so moves can only get up to 90 base power
Or 135 with STAB.
Your definition of "identical" is very broad
Normalize in mistery dungeon makes skitty a literal god. Stab in all moves AND 20% extra dmg on double slap? I have seen legends die before a skitty runs out of double slap.
Edit: oh, and MD has no inmunities. Yeah, skitty can slap giratina to death.
you forgot to mention the comatose ability, which is exclusive to komala, effectivly making the pokemon always asleep without the inability to act, so komala can freely use sleep talk and snore, while being immune to being poisoned, paralyzed, frozen or burned(its technicaly immune to sleep too but thats because its already asleep)
I like how ultra necrozma is almost never used in compatitive because of how better dusk mane necrozma is
And that's thanks to species clause which doesn't allow you to use two Pokémon with the same Dex number
I've been playing pokemon for years and im still learning new things. Incredible. 😊😊😊😊😊
When talking about Status Prevention abilities, I'm surprised he didn't mention Komala's ability, Comatose! It prevents all stats except sleep, if I remember correctly!
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
Technician does not double the power of the move, it is a 1.5x boost. Also You forgot to mention fluffy which is like fur coat and you did not mention magearna soul heart which is like beast boost/moxie but even better. I don't know if these somehow don't fit the criteria but I thought I would mention it
You kept the most unknown ones at the end, I had nooo idea on those outside battle ones😂 u really did your research!
Honestly I didn't know about most of them either except the egg hatching thing, so I guess we all learned something.
The only reason I can think of as to why most types dont have the 50% type boost ability is cause itd be broken for some types in competitive.
This is just my thought
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
Love your videos
From India
Wishing you a very happy and prosperous festival of Diwali
How could you forget Fluffy when mentioning Fur Coat, they’re practically the same except Fluffy comes with a Fire weakness
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.
Magma Armor sounds the most useless among the status immunity abilities if I have to be honest. The Pokémon that wields it are Fire types, which resist Ice types moves plus Freezing often has the lowest chances of happening. Another fine video, Emperor Cubone.
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.
I love your content but I found this video extremely hard to follow. Although I do understand you put a lot of info in a relatively decent amount of time, some extra time for phases and transitions would've helped. Keep up the great work and thank you for actually teaching people about pokemon, whether it be veterans or newcomers
There’s so many identical abilities with different names that were simultaneously introduced in gen 7.
There are clearly several discrete categories here.
-Similar but different types/numbers
--Similar but one is just better lolxd
-Mirrors/Opposites
-Identical
-Shared field abilities
I think we should have a blaze/overgrow/torrent ability for every type. They've got like five now, go all the way Pokémon company.
I can only think of Overcharge as a name for the electric one lol
Scorched Earth, for Ground maybe? Sounds more like a Fire thing though...
These mechanical based clones has been something I’ve wanted to comprehensively look into for a bit now
Primarina’s hidden ability, liquid voice, is similar to the -ate abilities where all sound based moves become water type, including ones that already are a type other than normal.
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.
I thought this was gonna be all like the Protean and Libero situation where it's the same ability just different names, not similar abilities.. I am sitting here like "well ya Overgrow and Blaze and Torrent are similar for their type but they aren't identical"
Have you ever thought of doing a video about abilities that have effects in the overworld? There's of course Pickup, but also there's Tinted Lens, Illuminate, Stench, etc
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
Shadow shield is another reason why lunalas my favorite legendary now. The shiny one i have in shield took hits and helped cleaned house winning me tons of battles
This video could use some structure, man. It just felt like a long string of abilities. You mention some categories, but instead of showing them you just list them all back to back with no breaks
Pretty sure the intended use of justified is to use it to switch into a dark-type attack, which fits with the often protective/guardian theme of the pokemon that have it - stepping in front of a ghost or psychic-type teammate to protect them from a dark-type attacker, and then attack them back.
Second wind should be a thing
Once the pokemon faints it can be bought back at half hp must have a pokemon to switch in before you can bring them back
The Tagling Hair/ Gooey mix could be called Ensnare or Restraining Touch
Why do the memorys not boost the power of moves like the plates
Silvally is already not that strong, why nerf it
They actually buffed the power of multi attack to 120 so it has the same power as a plate boosted judgement
Rayquaza: I can cancel out the weather to keep balance between land and sea
Psyduck:
You totally should have mentioned download when you talked about sword dog and shield dog.
Why not imaginating some tweaks to differ some of them?
Also Solid Rock should reduce by 50%, but not Filter and Prism Armor since those two have a Mega evolution and a Legendary.
“ Second-Wind” would be the perfect name for an ability that powers up flying type moves in a pinch!
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_
Overgrow = Blaze = Torrent = Swarm
Normalize = Aerilate = Pixelate = Refrigerate = Galvanize
Protean = Libero
Multitype = RKS System
Motor Drive = Sap sipper
Lightning rod = Storm Drain
Volt absorb = Water absorb
Drizzle = Drought = Sand Stream
Got tired of typing? Yeah, I underestimated how many there were too...
2:58 NOPE. WRONG.
Greninja can become any type...except for Fairy, since it doesn't learn any Fairy-type moves, and Hidden Power (RIP, Hidden Power) cannot be Fairy.
Sure, but that's not the ability's fault. It COULD be any type if not for the short comings of the Pokemon...
Close, but Libero and Protean change the Pokémon’s type right before using a move. The intended effect is to give everything STAB.
Okay, sure but the type change only happens after selecting a different typed move, that's the main point...
Can’t believe they gave two starters the exact same extremely annoying 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
RKS
Arceus
Holy crap
2:55
Also kekleon gets it
I became confused at the third of the video, and I still not snapped out of it....
Just don't hurt yourself in your confusion!
Get a spinda to skill swap own tempo on you!
It be nice if some of these were condensed
Actually, Overgrow, Blaze, and Torrent are also the abilities of Simisage, Simisear, and Simipour, respectively, as a hidden ability
I like how between Punk Rock and Soundproof "sound" is like an unofficial subtype
I personally love solid rock and filter
I know! I wish they were used more...
here's the names I thought would be good for variations of overgrow/torrent/blaze etc
Electric- Last Thunder(the last thunder of a thunderstorm)
Psychic- Final Trick(Mind Tricks!!)
Ice- Snow Of Years (probably references a Snowstorm that went on for years don't why Ice doesn't have already)
Ghost- Undead/Endless (1. dying again after doing it the first time will probably count u as undead
2. a chain of dying endlessly)
these are all lol
Cloud Nine and Air Lock don't get rid of weather, they stop the effects of them. So if it's raining, it's still gonna rain, but water moves won't get boosted until Golduck/Rayquaza are gone, and you can't re-up weather while they are on the field
Cloud Nine/Air Lock doesn't remove the weather, only the effects of weather. This can be seen in Sun/Moon because the abilities confuse the AI, which will try to set up weather that is already up because its effect is being negated by Cloud Nine.
You forgot about galarian darmanitans abilities zen mode you covered but instead of changing type to boost defence it changes type to become fire same ability 2 different functions and type change and its golira tactics ability which powers up moves but leaves you stuck using one move similar to hold items
While several legendary abilities are similar to regular ones, there are some specific interactions. For example, mold breaker bypasses clear body and white smoke, but not full metal body.
Cant Kecleon Also Have Protean?
Yes, it can
who uses kecleon though
People who feel like it, because there is no justification in using Protean Kecleon (or any Kecleon).
Almost Any Ability
Balanced Hackmons
Randomizers
Getting a Swampert with Sap Sipper is amazing
You have no weaknesses
My favourite duplicated ability: Cacophony. Yes, the never-implemented duplicate of Soundproof, found only in the unused code of Gen 3.
Imagine how OP aroma veil would be in doubles if it stopped choice band,scarf,specs & assault vest move restrictions.That would be busted.
You missed cursed body when talking about on contact trigger statuses and sand force when talking about weather conditional abilities. Arguably shed skin was also missed when you mentioned natural cure.
I dunno if anyone mentioned this but in gen 7 Gale Wings was nerfed to be priority to flying moves while at full health which means Talonflame could no longer priority heal with Roost
7:00 its probably supposed to be like adding ice to body, like when you make a snow ball and compact the snow together- its building its body back, restoring hp
Doesn't Technician only boost attacks by 50% and not 100%? So the maximum attack power would be 90 and not 120?
Neat analysis video! Thanks for uploading!
Doesn't download count towards the stat buff group? And Flash fire with the type immunity for a buff?
Wondering if we'll ever get 'Every Identical Item in Pokemon'
Can you do a video that explains all the abilities that effect wild encounters? I don’t think anyone has done that before
To clarify, Mold Breaker, Teravolt, and Turboblaze ignore effects that would negate moves.
Technician only boost moves with 60 BP or less by 50%. So 60 BP moves become 90 BP
should of shown every pokemon with the ability, not just some
don't trip tho u still got a like from me lol
Fun fact: It’s “Pixilate”, not “Pixelate”- like the mythical creature, a pixie
the thumbnail reminded me of SilverLeagueNetworks...
Yknow. I try to watch these videos but the OTT inflections really grate on my ears
5:22 fun fact aura break actually makes fairy aura and dark aura weaken dark/fairy type moves
I like how you are using the silver league background for the thumbnails
90% of this is not what "Identical" means. Good video, wrong adjective.
they should give all of the pudgy cross-gens from sinnoh a thick fat & guts combo
10:26 i think its only until 90 power since technician is ×1.5 of moves with 60 or less power
Yeah I was thinking that as well. Maybe he was talking about dual wingbeat because he showed a picture of Scyther?
maybe
Triple axel
Hit one 20--> 30 BP
Hit two 40--> 60 BP
Hit three 80 BP
total 170 BP
I can think of a pokemon ability apllon warning if there's weather or terrain it cancels it
I feel like you forgot about shed skin. Dang I wish I had a seviper!
10:24 nope, it only increases them by 1.5, making them up to 90 bp
You missed Soul-Heart when talking about Moxie like abilities.
I think how icy body worka is that it lets the ice type rehydrate and repair it's ice from the cold wet hail.
honey gather *is* quite nice when your'e shiny hunting horde encounters, but I see your point
I think technician was nerfed to only boost 60% moves to 90%
I never thought of this HOW UNIQUE
