ok i'll inverse the abilities

is it fine now?

Hmm, imo i think we would veto it, as Alebrije basically works as Gen 8 Protean but stronger, as it lets you have 2 types instead of a singular one, and considering Skeledirge has BoltBeam coverage in Shadow Ball and Earth Power, and since its primary type (Fairy) gets replaced first, it gets it with STAB

Sorry for replying less than an hour before the veto post i had some stuff to do, you still have more time since a day still has not passed since the veto post

i mean protean also had the possibility to instantly change typings, while this one doesn't exactly do this, while that mean 2 stabs it also mean that if u've used earth power u get a water/grass/ice weakness (theoretically) for 2 turn as skeledirge is p slow

Yeah but you can just switch out, and since there are no resists to the Ghost + Ground STAB combo you only have to care about the offensive mons that threaten it, if there's any special wall on the opposing team you can boost with Torch Song and break through it after, and still, if it gets hit, it can heal with Slack Off and come back later to use the combo again

slack off give the normal type which tbh is only good if u used a ghost type move just before, idk it doesn't feel that broken too me

When it uses Slack Off, it can switch out and do the same Shadow Ball + EP combo again, it may not feel broken to you but it is
