Wonder Skin is a, well, wonderful ability, making status moves accuracy 50%, making it difficult to cripple with T-Wave or Will-o-Wisp, and it has the neat Dark Ghost typing, with the only weakness of fairy. It has Shadow Sneak for priority revenge kills, along with Sucker Punch and Knock Off. The priority helps make up for it’s slightly subpar speed of 95, but that can be easily fixed by a Choice Scarf. It gets U-turn momentum, the Elemental Punches, Superpower and Drain Punch for coverage, Flame Charge to boost it’s speed without Scarf, Destiny Bond for an exchange, and has a wonderful base 140 Atk. It’s defenses of 55 are lacking, but it appreciates the removal of the SR weakness and the more offensive typing.

OU, though that ability…

I didn’t think much of its ability at first TBH

Unnerve is very situational, but Wonder Skin makes it harder to cripple with a Prankster T-wave off Thundurus or Klefki, or Prankster Will-o-Wisp off D. Gren. If you get Webs up, then you can run Band or some all out attacking sets.

By usage, probably among the lowest OU or the highest UUBL

I mean, on a Webs team, pretty good wallbreaker, or scarfed, good momentum and killer. It can run a mean boosting set too.
