Name: Stop the Secondary
Description: A Pokémon that through means of ability, moves, and typing, can stop a variety of the non damaging affect of moves and moves of non damaging origin.

Justification: While the immediate threat of damaging moves is large and present, the affect of moves such as status, Trick, Leech Seed, Taunt, Stealth Rock, Spikes have arguably had a greater affect to the metagame than anything has ever had, something that this would greatly look in to.

Questions to be Answered:
~ How easily would a Pokémon with such large of a niche be able to fit into a competitive team?
~ How large of an impact would the reducation of non damaging affects and moves have on the metagame?
- What, if any, would happen to the types of teams being used?
- How would this affect the usage of these types of moves?​
~ How much of an affect does typing have on the ability for ANY Pokémon to perform this duty?

Typing: Dark/Ground

TBQH, Special moves are stupid, but there's no reason not to allow them. Same with U-turn, Zen Headbutt, Drill Peck, and Ice Fang. I don't agree with Ice Shard/Thunderfang on this, its supposed to stop the secondary not "beat every Pokemon in sight". Brave Bird is a bit too powerful to me.
