Air Lock
This is how your post should look. Bolding unnecessary stuff just makes it harder for me. Same thing applies with MwL, but he's actually saving his vote (I read the edit thingie).
And to MwL, tombs are air-tight (theoretically). Therefore, weather cannot go inside the tomb. Cloud Nine is more ignorance of the weather, while Air Lock is more weather does not exist here (Rayquaza and upper atmosphere).
Well, the problem I have with Air Lock, is that it's Rayquaza's signature ability. So if we give it to someone else, it should atleast be some kind of special poke =/ Also, changing the name would result in 3 abilities that do the same thing. Kind of an overkill.
Like in the last voting thread, I'm voting Air Lock.
That's an awesome idea for an ability name: Airtight Tomb. Of course, it doesn't really sound that much like an ability name, but hey.
That's why I like Dry Skin. While the water absorbing part might not perfectly match a mummy, the easily caught on fire part does. I would just say change the ability to Fire Weakness, Bug Absorbtion (like absorbing scarabs and such), but I don't know how much we want to keep making new abilities.
Shed Skin is already his primary ability. We're voting on secondary abilities now.
do you mean to say "no second ability?"
Also, we can call the ability "sealed tomb."

Well, I think this same logic could be applied for Cloud Nine. If, huh, the mummy ALWAYS attack from inside its tomb, it really would be immune to weather and such. However, I believe Cloud Nine would work for it because it stood a lot of time inside a tomb, without seeing any Clear Sky, or Rainy Days, or Garchomp evading random Ice Beams. When the mummy finally gets out the tomb, it had created something like an aura of "air-tightness", so even though it sees Garchomp evading moves and Thunder always hitting, he can't--
Ah fuck it, Rayquaza won't die just because he lost his ability. Go Air Lock.
Just like Parasect didn't die again because Breloom got Spore (I said again! I know it still sucks, it just doesn't suck x2). And other moves and abilities that I can't be bothered to think of right now. Yeah, uniqueness is something that disappears from Pokemon as generations go on. They are meant to be unique for the generation they were created in (excluding RBY, there were too many fish and birds there), not for all future generations.
Well, I was a Dry Skin suporter, but know I think that would be broken (rain dance teams ftw) Insomnia is boring. More than 2 abilities is always nice. Entomb could be good, but the thought of a return to RBY-esque Wrap makes me shudder.
Ergo, Airlock.
However, I agree on the name change. Signature move is signature move.
How about Desert Aura? Restores all weather to the pristine days and clear nights of the Desert.
Also, on a side note, are we actually going to end up designing a whole game? A create a town poll woudl be interesting...

Air Lock doesn't make sense to me.. a mummy can't negate rain, sun, hail or sand.
Entomb / Snare Trap is my vote.
