Worst Users Of Every Power

[Imaginym]

Pokémon with Follow Me (Lucario for example) for Social Influencing. Literally all it does is make the opponent attack the user. This is useless outside of group fights.

Wouldn't a species be disqualified if they have other stuff through Social Influencing?

Also, is it SI?

Newest official description of the move in the mainline games:

The user draws attention to itself, making all opposing Pokémon take aim only at the user.

Yeah it’s social influencing.

I feel like if follow me counts as SI so do moves like growl and whatever, which are actually decent even in a 1v1.

I would assume Empathic Manipulation.

Also, just in case, reminder that the Pokemon move Growl is not really the thing an angry dog does:

"The user growls in an endearing way, making opposing Pokémon less wary. This lowers their Attack stats."

Update: Phix has a profile now.

Bump

 

[Armorchompy]

I mean it seems like uses it to attack and has a decent degree of control over it. As a side note that profile definitely needs a few more scans. Like as someone who doesn't know the game I have zero way to understand what "can fire particles of polarity" really entails beyond going and looking up a walkthrough. He's also missing SPC

I feel Princess Elise the Third might be a contender for summoning. Her summoning is involuntary, caused by her dying or expressing despair. Even in the latter case, she is almost certainly going to die anyways.
Why does she even have a profile?

 

[Armorchompy]

Yeah that's pretty hard to top. Dunno if worse or better than the Punished but them also having mildly useful Summoning makes me think she should be on the list over them.

 

[CrackerVolley]

May I please have Milo Murphy added for Probability Manipulation as I’ve requested before.

I'm not sure how bad these immortality abilities can get, but I'm nominating Blades in Xenoblade for Type 4 Immortality because it's entirely dependent on a Driver resonating with their Core Crystal - meaning if no one resonates with them, they just can't come back. This is also just completely inapplicable to a VS match, not to mention that Blades that come back via this method have absolutely no memories of their previous life

 

[Armorchompy]

Honestly I don't know how exactly to list Immortality given it's like 8 abilities rolled up into one, but yeah that sounds pretty bad

 

[Lou_change]

List all of them separately?

 

[Armorchompy]

i guess that works when we get another submitted

Who has Empathic Manipulation?

(Also, I wonder if potential candidates -If they had profiles- would be

Spoiler: Spoilers for One Piece

Those who've consumed defective Smile Fruits, as, IIRC, these not only make the affected unable to swim & weakened by Sea Prism, but also they lose their ability to express emotion other than smiling & laughter; Even when sad, angry or otherwise, they can only smile & laugh.

Also, if not for Xavier or the Hunter Slugcat, I wonder about Hold'em Up Boldema from One Piece, since IIRC, his lion from his Artificial "Smile" Devil Fruit is just a lion's head & forelegs on his stomach, with said lion having its own mind, hating him, & IIRC, often attempting to steal his food, & attack him in his lower bodily areas, despite that it & he share pain. But it's also helped like by holding foes in its jaws or shooting fireballs, IIRC.
Presumably for Animal Manipulation &/or Multiple Selves, but yeah.
