So /vp/ what hidden ability would skyrocket our guy to the top of OU?
>sheer force
>contrary
>tough claws
>priority dark moves + parting shot and taunt
>possibly speed boost or moxie

Sheer Force, Though Claws and Moxie seem the most plausible. Especially Moxie, since villains tend to be overconfident when they beat their opponents. I wonder how his moveset will look like?
>>29470771
Deviant, if it gets enough bulk and speed it might be able to take Bisharp's niche as it can't be burned, also if it gets knock off it'll be gold.

>>29470927
Everyone keeps suggesting abilities like these, but I feel like they're gonna do unique ones again.
>>29471052
Unless stats shuffle a lot in the final forms, Litten is the fast one of the starters (outsped Rowlet popplio and Pikachu in the battle royal showcase)
I'm guessing speedy and frail physical attacker
>>29470771
I feel like technician would work depending on the movepool
>>29471115
It also showed high attack and speed in the stream not long ago.
>>29470771
unnerve
>>29470771
How about the others?Unless they get new abilities.
My guess are
Incineroar-tough claws/iron fist
Decidueye-Sniper
Primarina-dancer
Huge Power
>>29471057
That seems the most likely to me. It seems that gen VI set a precedent for every starter having a "unique" hidden ability and a "signature" move that only one other Pokemon has/learns.

He's not "our" guy.'
He's MY guy. He belongs to me.

he's my husband, you can't have him
>Firey Frenzy
>After getting a KO, this Pokemon's fire and dark type moves are powered up by 50%
>>29471153
An easy guess for Decidueye is to give him sniper, assuming physical or mixed attacking stats with leaf blade/shadow claw will be fun. It might get a brand new ability though.
Primarina might ge either dancer or competitive, hopefully the later as dancer is very situatonal.
Here's hoping incineroar gets deviant or tough claws with good speed and attack
Pragmatist - attack goes up when opponent is suffering a status.
>>29471319
Holy shit I like this.
Eh, it's probably going to just be intimidate.
Or something new.
Probably Tough Claws. Moxie or Sheer Force isn't out of the question, though.

Protean
Mold Breaker is perfect for Incineroar, it fits his heavy build and his backhanded tactics, disabling the opponent's ability. I don't know why a lot of people don't even think of it as a possibility.
