Why does Kleavor have Sheer Force

It has like 1 physical move that benefits from Sheer Force and even then it needs the Stealth Rock setting side effect of Stone Axe for the move to actually be good. What was GF cooking????

    I guess they focused more on the Pokémon's story?

    It'd be pretty tiring giving every Pokémon a competitively good or even decent ability.

    It has three abilities, the other regular one is Swarm and the HA is Sharpness, which seems pretty good

    Rock Slide and Pounce are two move in it's movepool that have stab and sheer force boost, plus stone axe isnt boosted

    It just looks really tough. I mean, it's Professor Rowan as a bug. And I don't know about you, but he's really intimidating.

    @Acornyo ’Looks really intimidating’ INTIMIDATE IS AN ABILITY! STOP GIVING ABILITIES TO MONS THAT WON’T USE THEM!

    @Arbiter1337, you're right, but Rhyperior has Lightning Rod and Delibird has both Insomnia and Vital Spirit, so maybe they just needed to give him an extra ability and didn't think competitively.

    @Acornyo Lightning Rod Rhyperior at least has some niche in Doubles, why they didn’t give Magnezone Lightning Rod and Levitate instead of Sturdy and Analytic beats me
