Horrifying Move+Pokemon Concepts?

I'm surprised that nobody has said this yet, but Slaking with Skill Swap or Role Play. There are a few ways to change it's ability when playing in doubles, but there isn't a way (that I can see at least) to change/suppress it's ability in singles unless your opponent screws up badly.

Magikarp with full set of legend-exclusive moves.

And he can't evolve.

Actually, what Slaking would REALLY want is Hyperspace Hole (even specially it's better than being walled), or the ability to actually use Hyperspace Fury, or heck, buffing Feint up, like how Knock Off is, but only give the buff if the target Protects itself somehow, boost it to 120 BP or something. Slaking's real issue right now is the fact that it can and will be walled by anything with Protect/Detect/Spiky Shield/King's Shield/etc. If you could take that away, it wouldn't be top-tier material, but it wouldn't be the type of trash that just never gets used.

@Nekomimi: Magikarp already sweeps with Flail; what more could you possibly ask for?

@SamWiser: The reason no one said it is because it's about Pokemon+Move concepts, not Pokemon+Ability concepts.

Edit @TM93: And this is why I prefer Regigigas. Even though he's weaker at first, he'll act every turn, and with 110/110/110 defenses (them juicy subs) and Drain Punch (which Slaking, suspiciously, does not get), plus a few other toys, Regigigas is very problematic to deal with, even without negating Slow Start.

Skill Swap and Role Play ARE moves, the point of which would be to get rid of Truant. It still follows the thread's point.

Oh like you don't find the idea of Skill Swapping Truant onto an Azumarill and stealing their Huge Power on a Slaking amusing too DNA :P

Given how I have actually Skill Swapped Slow Start onto a Slaking before, I have nothing left to prove in that regard.

Leech Seed on Cresselia would be pretty awful to see.

Actually I think what would be worse yet is Leech Seed Lickitung, I've used lickitung competitively a couple of times with eviolite and oblivious in gen 6. It was a special NYC wish lickitung aswell he's immune to taunt and can tank everything, while knock off is a lot more prevalent thanks to its recent buff I still think lickitung would be a very annoying beast to fight that way.

Friend just brought this up on a live chat: Aerodactyl with Head Smash and Brave Bird. I forget if this got brought up before.

Apparently the Mega would hit harder with those than Mega Salamence's Double Edge with either attack.

It'd bring about a mass extinction, one might say.
