What is your absolute favourite ability and why?
Pic related, gives very welcome boosts to Nidoking, Nidoqueen and Feraligatr, some of my favourite Pokémon since I was young.
Simple. Bibarel, Swoobat and Numel are three of my favourites and the ability is just really cool

Sturdy from Gen V and onward. you are almost guaranteed one attack.Explosion
Prankster. Being a prick is fun
>>27351421
Infiltrator.
It's always fun to ruin people's plans to sweep behind a sub or with screens up :)
An ability possibly more broken than any other. There's nothing like watching things like Garchomp flail helplessly before a poople.
Mold Breaker ruins my fun, though. And fuck Sacred Sword while I'm at it, too. That should NOT be a Fighting-type move.

Welp, fucked it up. Meant to post Fur Coat.
Arialate
Pixelate
Refrigerate
They give new life to their pokemons' movesets, and I hope more pokemon get them and that more are made.
Guts/Toxic Boost/Quick Feet/Marvel Scale
Anything that boosts a stat while under status. Always a neat edition that usually offers worthy benefits while still having drawbacks.
I also like Stance Change a lot, adds a lot of depth to a Pokemon while still not being an outright upgrade.
Dazzling. <3
Storm Drain/Solid Rock
This pair is my favorite in doubles
Skill link is awesome

Great taste, anon.

My brother.
Adaptability is fucking ridiculous.

M-Banette
Sableye
Whimsicott
Klefki
Meowstic (Male)
Liepard
All using Prankster.
It'd (probably) be shit competitively but now I want to run this through a main game.

If only the cute doge had better stats, its such a good concept and its done very well.
I'd say my choice is magic bounce, its so much fun to fuck with a toxic user or hazard setter without even having to do anything.

THIS
Thank Arceus that there aren't a whole lot of mons who get this ability.
Dry Skin nigga. Free double lefties AND water absorb. Who cares about the fire shit when you've always got rain.
Mummy, just for its uniqueness and potential to shut down pokemon who rely on their own ability (Mega Medicham, Mega Lopunny, Azurill, Mega Khanga, etc)
If we're not talking about gimmick abilities though, Sap Sipper is a favourite, especially when your opponent forgets it neutralizes Sleep Powder and the like
>>27353839
>Not using mummy for team support on slaking, regigigas, archeops, etc
Cofagrigus is bro tier though, and I'm still waiting on the inevitable water/ground sap sipper pokemon.
Trace. Fuck all of you, they're my abilities now.
>tfw you switch into a Shedinja and Trace Wonder Guard, but you have nothing to kill it with
Unaware, for making my favorite pokemon magically good suddenly
