Dusk I honestly think that you are getting a little too caught up in making this Pokemon stand apart... Seriously, why not just throw this guy Illusion and Prankster as its other abilities if we go this far. (Not to sound harsh, you're obviously still giving us a discussion stage and stuff so no harm done ofc.)
IMO Multitype will be severely limiting of the process, as has been said, and as Jas has brought up before is a huge variable in a Pokemon. If Multitype is something we explore, it should be a concept in itself.
Obviously there are significant benefits in choosing Multitype. Being able to run STAB Sacred Fire, or Focus Punch, or tons of other things would be really cool. My question is just if this is the way we want to pull this concept off. This, to me, is just such an "easy way out". We could have given Multitype to Utility Counter, Theoretical Threat, and a ton of other concepts and they would have fulfilled their concepts very well. We didn't, and wouldn't. I believe that there were good reasons for that, and that they are still valid.
Sketch is the best move in the game, let's not limit our creativity by also giving CAP 2 the best ability in the game.
EDIT @Dusk: Eh, wasn't meant to sound that confrontational. Wasn't trying to make a personal attack (you didn't do anything wrong, etc). I obviously addressed the merit of the idea, I just don't think it is all the right direction, which you seem to accept. Anyways sorry I guess.
