Fans are saying these Pokémon deserve more appropriate abilities

Pokémon fans have generated plenty of discussion in an Oct. 15 Reddit thread where they’ve pointed out certain Pokémon in need of more fitting abilities based on their Pokédex entries. The responses have raised further questions about Game Freak’s internal process and whether it deliberately ignores its own lore.

The thread author’s opening suggestion of Luxray puts forward a convincing case. “If you look at Luxray’s Pokédex entries,” Mx_Toniy_4869 began, “every single one of them describes Luxray as having the ability to see through walls.” This is no exaggeration either. From the Electric Pokémon’s debut entries in Diamond and Pearl to the latest in Scarlet and Violet, we find this same characteristic referenced consistently.
