[ti]Approved[/ti]Constant

[seitou]

In Game Effect: Moves used on this Pokemon will not be affected by abilities. It would say [Pokemon] leveled the field! when the Pokemon is sent out.

In-Depth Effect: Constant ignores the damage boost and effects of Abilities that modifies the opponent's move that could potentially affect the user. Basically, a reverse Mold Breaker. 
For example, a Pokemon with Constant is a Rock type, and Mega Glalie uses Return + Refrigerate, the Return will hit as a Normal type and Refrigerate is completely negated. If against a Pokemon with Mold Breaker/Teravolt/Turboblaze, the Pokemon who moves first will apply the effect, nullifies the effect of second.

Abilities that are affected: Pixelate, Refrigerate, Aerilate, Normalize, Heavy Metal, Light Metal, Lightning Rod, Storm Drain, Scrappy, Teravolt, Turboblaze, Adaptability, Analytic, Guts, Dark Aura, Fairy Aura, Aura Break, Flare Boost, Toxic Boost, Huge Power, Pure Power, Hustle, Iron Fist, Parental Bond, Reckless, Rivalry,Sand Force, Solar Power, Sheer Force, Strong Jaw, Tough Claws, Swarm, Blaze, Torrent, Overgrow, Technician, Skill Link, Protean, Damp, Defeatist, Flower Gift, Flash Fire(1.5 dmg part), Infiltrator, Mega Launcher, Slow Start, Tinted Lens, Unaware(Does not ignore defense boosts on Pokemon with Bulwark). 

Outside of Battle: None

Potential Pokemons(Approved): Hackmon, Gigalith(Ability2 Slot), Druddigon(Can see this for a defensive Mega for Druddigon maybe?), Forretress(Ability2 slot).

Other Potential Pokemon: Sandslash(Ability 2 Slot), Quagsire(Replaces Damp), Tyranitar, Probopass, Camerupt(Replace Anger Point), Claydol(HA), Bastiodon(Ability 2 Slot), Gastrodon(Replace Sticky Hold/Sand Force), Hippowdon(Ability2 Slot), Abomasnow(Ability2 Slot), Seismitoad(Replaces Water Absorb), Klinklang(Replace Plus), Golurk(Replace Klutz).

EDIT: Changed some things, feedback is welcomed!
EDIT 2: Clarified description.
EDIT 3: Fixed some things, Ability is ready to be rated.
EDIT 4: Removed Flygon and Terrakion from getting the ability.
EDIT 5: Changed name to Constant and removed Mold Breaker.

Where did you come up with the name? The idea is an interesting premise however and I can see this pairing with Pokemon with Unaware such as Quagsire or Bibarel. I'd also say that it should affect abilities such as Guts, Flare Boost, Sand Force, Solar Power, Serene Grace, Sheer Force, Tough Claws, Technician, Super Luckm and Tough Claws should be affected as well, and the others should probably not be affected.

I got this name from typing "defense synonym" in google. xD I was confused because Mold Breaker allows status moves to hit(Mold Breaker vs Overcoat, powder moves will hit), so I was considering if the Pokemon with Bulwark guard against abilities that give opponents chance to status(Stench, Poison Touch). Also Bulwark only affects the Pokemon with the ability, it's not like Flower Gift/Victory Star. Thanks for your suggestions.

I really like this ability! Youve done well here. But i think the name needs a change. Change... How bout the ability name is - Change Up!

[Snaquaza]

I like the name, since the others are a bit too simple. Either way, I feel it should get a little revamp, since affecting what other Pokemon do is kind of hard, especially in the case of things like Guts and No Guard. It's kind of strange to see those neutralized. Instead I'd propose you to make it this. "Negates all abilities that change the effect of a move.", so you'll take all moves how they were originally. Refrigerate Return will still be Normal, Sheer Force won't work, those kind of things. However, it wouldn't neutralize stuff like Prankster, since those don't change what the move does, but change the priority.

Thanks Snaquaza for the input, I will definitely change the things the ability negate.

so could you use this with regigigas in doubles and maybe skill swap bulwark onto your opponent and maybe that could do a thing?

I guess so, but Regigigas ability will only be nullified if he attacks the Pokemon with Bulwark. So, that means if he isn't attacking the Pokemon with Bulwark, his ability still applies for the number of turns.

that's exatly what I meant .-.

[TheBlueFiretruck]

I'm agreeing with Snaqaza here; only Abilites that affect the damage of the move should be changed. Changing Prankster, Gale Wings, No Guard, etc would be weird.

[Twix]

Don't make Forretress lose Sturdy. Instead, just add Bulwark as another ability seeing as it only has two.

[/CodedGryph/]

So Shield Dust but for abilities? Looks nice

[Snaquaza]

Don't give it to Terrakion or Flygon. Otherwise seems good. Approved 1/2 if you remove those two.

[mancco]

First, nice name. Second, why the hell would you give this to Forretress? It already has a fantastic 'Sturdy' ability, also its immune/resisted to a lot of other things. Maybe give this thing to some weak mon or maybe give it to a mon that gets Mold Breaker (I think this because Sableye can have both Stall and Prankster). Anyways, awesome ability.

It's just another option for Forretress. Also, not all abilities have to be perfect for a certain Pokemon. I'm going through a list right now on Pokemon that would fit the theme of the ability, also thanks for the feedback.

[seitou]

Galom and @ace I think it's ready to be approved.

[Galom]

I really don't understand the name whatsoever. Want to clear up the reasoning behind it (I know what the word means, so please don't just post a definition)?

[chundermunch]

I think this ability is balanced now. I like it. Hope you get it approved!

[Galom]

Good namechange. Approved 2/2.

[Hounds]

you should change the desc from bulwark to constant since you made the name change

in the in-depth effect

[blackburn009]

I don't really see how mold breaker is negated by this ability, there's no effect to negate

[seitou]

I'm done with the final tweaks to it, Rhythms can you please code it? Thanks.

[Rhythms]

sure

p[laceolder

EDIT: actually no i cant im too busy sorry

[seitou]

Psych, can you please code it. :x

[Psych]

Uhh, sure, I'll work on it and try and have it by Tuesday.
