Very informative and well organized. It's not necessarily revolutionary, as there are other lists.

A nice addition to Pojo though. Cool! ^.^

Cacophony is another term to say 'soundproof' i figured since people will get confused, why not just put both

Actually, I thought that Cacophony was one of two abilities that no pokemon has been assigned to yet (because eventually people will get bored so Nintendo will give out "special" pokemon with abilities that you can't get in the game). I think the other one is the default NO ABILITY.
