The shit ability is just a failsafe to ensure fairness. That way you can't sweep with a Moxie Honchkrow or something in a Gen4 battle.

Also of note, it's great for exposing yourself to Pokemon you normally would never use anyway, as with the Piloswine example.

Or maybe I just want to do an old school Gen1 battle with one of the original 151 with old-school movesets.

Basically all you do is select a different Gen's tab on a Smogon entry.

Onix becomes much more viable wouldn't you say?
