ITT: Create an Ability

Earthshatter: Allows ground type moves to hit pokemon that are normally immune to them.

Water Down:
All poison and water type moves become BOTH poison and water type.

Last stand:
If the rest of the team is KO'd, all of your stats are boosted by one stage.

Colorblind:
All moves done by and against the Pokemon become typeless.

Wimpmaker:
If you bring an enemy's health below half, or attack them while their health is below half, forces them to switch out (what I hope Wimpod's evo will have)

Efficient:
If an attack has a secondary effect, removes that effect but the move has a perfect accuracy (like swift).

Ragequit:
Immediately switches you out if one of your attacks misses or fails.

Practice:
If one of your attacks misses, increases accuracy by 2 stages.

>>29547945
practice is OP

>>29547986
How about 1 stage?

>>29548006
maybe instead, it raises attack or something

>>29547799
>Mooch
Eats the opponent's berry before they do
>Outside
The Pokemon is able to hold two berries instead of one

>>29547799
Fortified:
Physical attacks draw off your defense stat

Trickshot:
A move that is said to miss will still hit at half strength, doesn't work for one hit kos

Penalty Hit:
If this pokemon is switched in after a fainting team member, it's first move will be unable to miss.

>Berserk
>Pokemon with this ability have their attack raised 2 stages if hit by a Physical move. When activated, the Pokemon also has a 1/3 chance of becoming confused.

>Hair trigger
>"Bullet" and multi-strike moves have a Priority over other moves and will always hit 5 times but accuracy is reduced by 20%.

>Shy
>When a Pokemon is hit by a move it's Attack stat will lower 1 stage, but Def and Sp.Def will raise by 1 stage.

Impenetrable Armor: pokemon does not take damage from any attacks

Think it would make a cool gimmick mon.

>>29548435
wow did you even try to balance it?

>>29547945
Efficient is just a worse Shield Dust

>>29547799

Corrosive: Poison-type attacks will affect Steel-Types.

Pride: Any stat increases or decreases that affect your opponent will also affect you.

Patient: This Pokemon will always attack last, but with a 25% damage boost

Glorious Sacrifice: When this Pokemon faints, the next Pokemon used will start with all stats boosted.

Healthy: Any HP or PP healing effect used on this Pokemon is boosted by 1.5.

Intangible: Physical moves deal no damage to this Pokemon, but special moves deal double damage.

Vengeful Spirit: When this Pokemon is killed, the enemy Pokemon has a curse placed on it.

Plain: This Pokemon's attacks ignore all type immunities, resistances, weaknesses, and STAB

Locked in: The first move this Pokemon uses is the only move it can use, but it's power is doubled.

>>29548542
>what is stealth rock, burn, toxic, secondary effects

>>29548577
No it's not. Shield dust prevent secondary effects from occurring to you. Efficient is sheer force but with boosted accuracy instead of power.

Muscle Memory:
All multi-hit attacks hit only one time. Parental Bond and Skill Link are both nullified.

>>29548542
Depends on what you give it to. It's basically a better Wonder Guard, so giving it to Shedinja might actually make it useful.

Menace
>15% chance to flinch with any physical attack, chances get raised with each boost of attack

Shimmer
>lowers opponents accuracy on switch in

All for One
>copies opponent and ally stat changes

One for All
>Shares stat changes with allies

>>29547799
>Quick Thinking- in multi-battles, if the original target of a single-target move has a Protect effect activated, this Pokemon will automatically target another available Pokemon who is not under the effects of a Protect move.

Or my personal favorite
>Nap Nipper- Pokemon cannot use Rest, or any self-inflicted move that induces Sleep. Whenever the Pokemon is put asleep by another Pokemon, it will be under the effects of sleep for X more turns than normal.
While asleep, this pokemon recovers some hp each turn.
>A dedicated Sleep Talker without needing to use a skill slot on Rest.
Something like that. But if Toxic Heal doesn't need to be so convoluted to be "balanced", maybe this doesn't need to be so convoluted either.

>Predator
Upon the user switching in, if the user has a move that the opponent is weak to, the user's Atk and SpA get a boost (does not stack)

Tri-Effect
Any moves that can burn, paralyze, or freeze, now has a one-in-three chance of any of them occurring.

>>29548699
>MHA Reference

Ayyyyy

>>29548579
>corrosive
>what is salandit

>>29548006
To make it balanced you should say instead that the next move will never miss.
Getting a plain permanent accuracy boost can be bonkers.

Overclock - Hyper Beam variants get 100% accuracy and do not need a "cool down" turn after use.

or

Optimized - when the user's special attack rises, its speed rises by the same amount as well.

>>29549875

I get what you're trying to do, but no. That's not a real thing.

>>29550101
>Placebo: It can't be statused when holding an item

Might wanna limit that to held berries or something.

>>29548402
Hair Trigger could be fun, but if a move hits 5 times then it's accuracy is already 100. The reason they miss is because each hit has its own self-contained accuracy roll.

Maybe remove the hits 5 times bit, but keep +1 priority and -20% accuracy.

Here's one I just came up with
>Acclimatize
Normal-type moves have their type changed to match the weather.
>Water-type Boomburst partnered with a Water Absorb mon
>Give it to a grass-type and they actually get decent fire coverage in sun rather than just HP fire
>Return becomes a stronger physical Water move than Waterfall
>Return is stronger than Stone Edge with 100% accuracy
>Ice types actually get a decent move other than Ice Beam
It's like Weather Ball, but better. Maybe make it affect normal-type moves targeting the user as well (like No Guard), so you can use it in e.g. hail while being Ice-type to get a handy resist to normal moves. If it affects everyone's normal moves regardless of target, then e.g. Flash Fire mons can be immune to Fake Out, Espeed, etc. The drawback, of course, is that you need to keep the weather up or it's useless.

>>29550732
Yeah, all items sounds actually broken.

>>29550894
Also, one I've been thinking about is
>Wonder barrier
>The user is immune to resisted attacks.

Wonder guard, but not as good, which would let it be used on a wider variety of mons.
Put it on something which resists normal, bug, and electric, and you've shut down most 'muhmentum' attacks. Even just sticking it on a pure grass would shut down some really common attacking types.

Somber - cannot be afflicted by any status conditoon other than sleep, attack and special attack are reduced by 1/3

Heckler - Swagger and flatter have priority

Fencer - Not very effective moves become normally effective

Will Breaker - Decrease opponent's sp attack by one stage upon switching in

Faker - Gains STAB from any move it uses, but immediately becomes normal type after attacking.

Reflexive - this pokemon gains priority if it was hit by a contact move

Sanctioning Song - All "two turn moves" (solar beam, skull bash, rock wrecker, phantom force, etc) activate in one turn for the next 5 turns

>>29551124
We'll fuck, my bad, Sanctioning Song should be a move. Not an ability. My bad

Determined - When below 50% HP, all stats are increased by 1 stage

Sanguine - 30% chance to survive the next blow

>Stubborn
The user cannot be ejected from battle and will instead get a sharp raise in Attack if someone uses an ejecting move on it (Whirlwind, Dragon Tail, Roar, etc).

>Haste
All damaging attacks have priority at the cost of Attack and Sp Attack reduced by 1/3.

>Petty
The user deals 1.5x more damage if it attacks last in a single battle; 2x more in a double battle, and 3x more in a triple.

Overdrive: It can use move with 0PP, but faints after that.

Finishing Move: After defeating an enemy, recovers 1PP of last used move

Energy Drain: Steals stat boosts of the enemy after defeating it.

Casanova: Boosts stats by one stage if enemy has opposite gender. Lower stats by one stage if enemy has the same gender.

>>29547799
Bird Brain: if Fly/Dive/Bounce/etc go first on the ascent, then it will go last on the decent or hit a pokemon about to be swapped (like pursuit)

>Haze Body
At the end of each turn, all stat debuffs are revised upwards one stage and all stat buffs are revised downards one stage.

>Combine with Overheat/Draco Meteor to be able to spam these moves regularly without switching
>Combine with protect to remove all momentum from the other side
>Slow Superpower/Close Combat users will be able to use these moves with no downside
>CM boosters BTFO
>Curse users BTFO
>DDancers BTFO
>Quiver Dancers BTFO
>Intimidate users BTFO
>Mons which rely on Moonblast drops to win exchanges with other specially-offensive mons BTFO
Thinking about it, it's probably best that it bypass Contrary - Something like Serperior being able to get +1 Spa every turn just by Leaf Storming once and protecting/subbing (or getting to +6 speed by switching in on Sticky Web and waiting a few turns) would be too much.

>>29548579
>Locked In Choice Item

>>29547799
I normally steal ideas from these threads, but there's so many it's tough to do. Here are some random ideas I've snagged from past threads, fakemon concepts, fangames, spinoff games (Conquest comes to mind), etc.:

1. Multi Step
>Allows this Pokemon to hit all opponents in battle with any attack regardless of its position on the field in a Double or Triple Battle.
2. Supersized
>This Pokemon is massive. All its contact moves gain a 10% chance to cause Paralysis. Cannot be struck by moves that use weight to calculate damage or be lifted in any way by opponents (Sky Drop, etc.). May still use its own weight-based attacks.
3. Counter-Clockwise
>Causes Trick Room for 5 turns upon switching in
4. Nightvision
>Raises Accuracy +1 during nighttime, in caverns, and other times of darkness (Night weather effect??)
5. Instinct
>This Pokemon has an increased chance of evading attacks that deal Super-Effective damage (passive +1 Evasion boost similar to Sand Veil)
6. Thrust
>Puts more strength into its physical contact moves, giving a 20% chance for all physical contact moves to cause the foe to switch out
7. Red Scale
>When hit by a Fire-type attack, raises Att +1 for each time hit. Still takes damage (compare to Justified)
8. Lunchbox
>This Pokemon uses a hidden food cache to heal 1/16 max HP each turn that it does not use an attack. Stacks with Leftovers. Shut out by Heal Block.

>>29551379
9. Therapy
>This Pokemon reads and announces an opponent’s nature upon entering battle
10. Power Reserve
>Moves that would drop the user’s own stats (Superpower, etc.) no longer due so, but at the cost of being at x0.8 power
11. Tsundere
>Raises Att and SpAtt +1 when infatuated
12. Fuse Breaker
>When hit with a physical contact move, there is a 20% chance for the foe to be Paralyzed followed by a 20% chance for the foe to Burned (each determined separately, both obviously do not stack [if foe gets Paralyzed, then they don’t get Burned; if they don’t get Paralyzed, then they may get Burned])
13. Charlatan
>If HP falls below 50%, this Pokemon will either raise its Speed +2 if it’s slower than the foe or it will lower its Speed -1 if it is faster than the foe
14. Celebrate
>If this Pokemon KO’s an opponent, it’s next move will gain +1 priority (not sure if this is broken because a Pokemon COULD just get a killstreak and constantly activate priority, but at the same time the Pokemon could be garbage and just use the priority one time to heal/buff?)
15. Martial Arts
>Swarm/Blaze/Torrent/etc. for Fighting-types
16. Wave Rider
>This Pokemon gains +1 Speed while on the water or when hit with moves such as Surf or Muddy Water
17. Cunning
>Everytime an attack from the foe misses, this Pokemon gains +1 Evasion. Does not activate on “failed” attacks however
18. Bloated
>This Pokemon is full of hot air. When above 50% max HP, the power of Flying-type attacks is increased by 50% (and maybe changes Pokemon’s appearance when below 50% HP, like Disguise?)
19. Panic
>When HP is below 25%, Def +1 and Attack -1

20. Sour Grapes
>All attacks gain 50% more power if the opponent is holding a more expensive hold item (not sure how the calcs would work on this?)
21. Plague Mask
>This Pokemon is immune to status effects of all kinds
22. Herbivore
>Doubles healing received on Grassy Terrain. Heals this Pokemon while running through tall grass outside of battle as well
23. Neat Freak
>At the end of each turn, this Pokemon will compulsively clear the field of all hazards on its side of the battlefield
24. Barricade
>While in battle, opponents adjacent to this Pokemon cannot flee
25. Hindrance
>While in battle, opponents adjacent to this Pokemon cannot raise their Speed (and Speed-boosting abilities are negated)
26. Predator
>All of this Pokemon's attacks will hit an opponent that is fleeing (turns every attack into Pursuit minus the double damage boost)
27. Foghorn
>This Pokemon creates a dense fog upon entering battle, lowering the accuracy of all Pokemon
28. Last Gasp
>This Pokemon will still execute its selected move even when KO'd on its turn. Moves that would heal, buff, or revive this Pokemon fail.
29. Spelunker
>Ground-type moves have a +1 priority, but this is negated if the user has a status effect
30. Sprint
>Upon entering battle, Speed is automatically increased +1 if the foe is faster than this Pokemon

>>29547799
>Trash Artist
>When this Pokemon KOs a Pokemon with a contact move, the item of the opponent (or ally) will be taken by this Pokemon and stacked onto its current item if either Pokemon has an item.
>This ability also has a 10% of getting an item outside of battle when ever you check trash cans

Upon KO, transfers previous negative status to enemy pokemon. It can no longer switch out.

>>29547799
