Hello. I'm new to the tabletop and these forums, but figured I'd ask a question that came up when we were looking over Helioptile's entry in the PTU pokedex. As I understand it pokemon must take their basic ability if there's only one, but does it make sense from Helioptile's only choice to be one that makes it weak to Sunny weather when part of its flavor text is that it's a Phototroph that lives in deserts and spends all its time under the sun's rays? In the games there's also a chance for Sand Veil to be its ability. Why is it different here? Are there balance issues that make Sand Veil a bad basic ability? |

I actually brought this up to the other devs briefly a few weeks ago. Helioptile's Basic Ability choices will probably change in 1.05, and there's no harm in going ahead and allowing Sand Veil to be taken as a Basic Ability in your game. |
