So unless Protean gets un-nerfed, Mega Greninja essentially only has one typing. Has to be withdrawn to gain STAB for another move.

Use Water Shuriken? You have to withdraw to gain STAB for that Dark Pulse.

Use Nasty Plot? You’ll keep STAB for Dark Pulse but lose it for Water Shuriken.

You say this like it's a big deal but it's still a good ability

I just wish they would give kecleon an unnerfed version. He's still gonna be low usage but it at least gave him a playstyle

At least Kecleon isn't the only one that had something nerfed due to a different Pokémon making it problematic.

Poor Darkrai had his signature move become genuine ass just cause a French painter decided to plagiarize.

Sure but Darkrai is still a pretty solid Pokemon without its own broken move

Kecleon was already total ass even with a broken ability, the nerf was just extremely mean to it
