Nah, 8 would be too broken for a Stage 1. Maybe 5. But i definitely support the notion of making common abilities more viable especially against turbo metas.
Lets hope they come up with a stadium or basic ability (that only works if you have a tool attached, much like garbodor/ eeveelution VIV) with an effect that mimics Milotic's Dew Guard ability from EVS. 🙏😖
Noctowl is back as a stage 2. A little sad that we don't have a bye bye flight for vivillon but hey, maybe there'll be a Terastal Butterfree ex from a future set. 😉🦋
