give me back my levitate
only cute ghost pokemon get levitate, gengshit
>>58731179holy fucking based
>>58731162With the bullshit powercreep happening in last few generations, Gengar would still be irrelevant in PvP even with Levitate.
>>58731162Nah, Fatty
Gengar lost levitate because children couldn't remember it had the ability. It's why Eelektross's portrayal changed so drastically in gen 6. Now it MUST levitate at all times to remind you this is the electric type with levitate.
When I was a kid, at a certain point I just automatically assumed a lot of ghost types were immune to ground.Looking back it's silly
>>58732300for me, I had no idea ghost was weak to itself till B/W because that was the first gen I actually used a ghost type.
>>58732300There's a lot of shit that are shown floating but don't actually have Levitate or Flying typingMagnemite and Probopass you can write it off as them using Magnet Rise but for other stuff like Porygon and Duskull my headcanon has always been they're capable of levitation but they cannot maintain it for long or cannot float high enough to avoid Ground-type attacks, while Flying Pokemon and those with Levitate can actually stay out of harm's reach
>>58732257Despite having Levitate, it wasn't allowed in Sky Battles.
>>58732300I thought rock and ground were the same type called rock
>>58732487It gets more confusing in pokemon mystery dungeon where some mons with floating sprites are allowed to cross gaps or waterLevitate shouldn't be an ability honestly, pokemon needs species traits for shit like this.
Gengarfags really be like "yeah it has nasty plot now, and encore makes its mega comically broken, but where's my LEVITATE bro?"
>>58733122Yes.
