What are all the good Pokemon (stat-wise) with a bad ability?

Like Archeops (Defeatist) and others.

So far,Defeatist,TruantandSlow Starthave been the only real bad abilities, the others either being useless or having no competitive use.Like Pick Up; it’s not really a bad ability as it doesn’t handicap the Pokemon in any way (other than taking away any other chances for an ability), but rather,does nothing.

Depending on the situation though, the following abilities can be bad:

Hope I helped!

This is a list of Pokémon who I consider to be good but have a bad Ability:

Truant- SlakingSlow Start- RegigigasIlliminate- Starmie (Illiminate has no effect during battle, but thankfully it isn’t the only Ability Starmie has.)Defeatist- ArcheopsStall- Sableye (Stall is not the only Ability Sableye has, but it is a terrible Ability.)Run Away:No specific Pokémon really stands out who is “good”, (unless you consider them in a tier, but I’m looking at all Pokémon as a whole.)

Note the above Abilities are Ability that either have no purpose in competitive battling or hinder the Pokémon in some way, Abilities that have a purpose but aren’t necessarily “good” aren’t listed because they still do something and do not hinder the Pokémon in anyway.

Slaking-total 670-Truant - huge attack power but only every second turnRegigias-total 670-Slow start - also huge attack but starts with half of itKingdra- total 540-Swift swim - good because speed is not best stat, but requires rainMamoswine- total 530-Oblivious - not many players will go on attraction initiateLucario-total 525-Steadfast - needs flinchingRhyperior-total 535-Lightningrod - you need double battles to make it effectiveGallade-total 518-Steadfast - same thing as Lucario

All of this Pokemon also have good movesets, and this may not be their only ability, so look up for that.

This was the most of them, and if you are in-game, most of the legendaries have I think useless ability Pressure which again I think doesn’t work against bots Pokemons.
