Make useless abilities good

>>30720879
Why not
>Klutz: Being fully paralyzed, flinched, or missing a move will result in the opponent losing 1/3rd of their health.

Klutz now gives all contact moves a Knock Off effect, including the damage bonus.

Honey gather- if honey is the held item and the user's health drops below half the user gains back 50% of total health #makeuselessabilitesviable

>Octuples the pokemon's base Sp Attack stat.

I tried to not make it too broken.

>>30720879
This might be broken, but...

>Emergency Exit: Retreats when HP falls below half, but restores HP and raises Atk, Def, and SpD by two stages unpon re-entry

>Pressure decreases the accuracy of all it's opponent's damaging moves

>Makes sense because if your opponent's are scared if what you're going to do next, putting pressure on them, they're also obviously going to be anxious enough to make their next move super inaccurate thanks to how afraid they are of their opponent. Example: Mewtwo.

By the way, these abilities need to have a buff that makes sense. Kluts with 33% attack increase does not make sense. Klutz with knock off effect does.

>>30720980
that is too broken. Besides, EE isn't necessarily useless.

>>30720914
make it 1/2, and suddenly dynamic punch golurk is maybe legit

>Huge Power
>increases attack x4

Really wish they would make this underwhelming ability useful

>>30721025
except that would require no guard and klutz at the same time

I'd just give Salazzle Will-O-Wisp and let Corrosion burn Fire types.

>>30721022
Really all you need to do is change when it activates.

Wimp Out: switch out immediately upon reaching 50% HP.
Emergency Exit: Switch out at the end of the turn upon reaching 50% hp.

>>30721047
I think he means 2 Dynamic Punches that miss=auto kill

>>30721082

Yeah, that'd make Golisopod a beast without overpowering him too much, I think.

>Raises evasiveness when the pokemon uses a light-based move

Try and punch some little fucker flashing a light in your eyes and blinding you.

>>30720980
>>30721022
>>30721094
it should lower the opponent's accuracy 1 or 2 stages when it activates.it would make sense for a strategic getaway to incorporate blinding the opponent

If that's the case, then why don't we just give Regigigas huge power?

Run Away
>Cannot be trapped, inmune to Pursuit
Keen Eye
>20% acc boost in non-contact moves
Guts (not thaat bad, but we all know than all users are weak)
>50% Atk Boost, dont take negative effects from the status
Heavy Metal
>20% Def boost
Torrent/Blaze/etc
>x2 damage of the respective type

>Run Away
Cannot be trapped by moves such as Mean Look or abilities such as Arena Trap or Shadow Tag.

Still bad, but a little better.

>Cute Charm
Additionally, opponents that deal contact damage have their attack lowered one stage.

>White Smoke
After switching in and suffering the effects of any hazards, all entry hazards are blown off the field.

>Light Metal
+25% Speed

>Heavy Metal
+25% Defense

>>30721497
>Cannot be trapped by moves such as Mean Look or abilities such as Arena Trap or Shadow Tag.

What if, when those moves or abilities are used on it it also has its speed sharply raised?

>>30721572
I mean, that would be fine with me.

>>30721409
Guts Conkeldurr and Heracross are not weak.
You should really swap that idea for Quick Feet.

>Hyper Cutter
Prevents other Pokemon from lowering attack stat, and lowers the opponent's attack stat instead

>Big Pecks/ Keen Eye
Same change as Hyper Cutter but with defense/ accuracy

>Plus/ Minus
When an electric or steel type Pokemon is on the field, special attack is boosted by 30%. When another Plus/ Minus Pokemon is on the field, special attack is boosted 50%.

>Forewarn
The move that is revealed by Forewarn will have a 30% drop in accuracy when used against the Pokemon with Forewarn

Healer
Restores 1/16 max HP to this Pokemon each turn.

>Anticipation
Opponent's super effective moves deal 50% less damage on the first turn upon being sent out.

>Unnerve
Attacks from this pokemon have a small chance to cause the opponent to flinch, as well as stop them from eating berry

>Own Tempo
As well as confusion prevention, this ability also stops opponent from using dance moves e.g. swords dance

>>30721409
I thought Pokemon with guts don't take the attack reduction from being burned?

>>30720879
>Run Away
All attacks are U-Turns.


>Illuminate
Becomes an intimidate but for accuracy.

>>30721409
Full Metal Body
>Takes 30% reduced damage from attacks.

>>30722566
Does anything get both Fake-out and Run Away?

>>30720879
Why does Golurk of all things have Klutz anyway?

>>30722706
Meowth?

>>30722739
Meowth new meta. King of OU, baby.

>>30722706
Only Aipom

>>30720879
>>30720914
>Klutz: If an attack misses, the pokemon falls into the opponent
>In-depth: The attack doesn't miss, but does half the amount of damage it would have

OR

Something to do with confusion and hurting the opponent instead.

You guys do know what Klutz means right? Why not have something more fitting.

>>30721165
Huge Power is one of the best possible abilities, if you didn't understand the joke you're probably either mentally retarded, autistic or both.

>>30722739
>>30722758
Meowth doesn't get Run Away

>>30722489
They still take damage retard

>>30721409
Torrent/etc.
>+1 priority to the affected type of moves
Not sure if not too OP

>Your Unnerve
>LET'S ADD MORE LUCK TO THIS ALREADY LUCK-RIDDEN GAME HEEHEE

>>30720879
what is the point of klutz and other useless abilities?

>>30722096
>Your Forewarn
>30% drop in accuracy
>AHAHA LOOL SO RANDOM XDD LET'S ADD MORE LUCK TO THE GAME, MAKE IT MORE RANDOM THAN IT ALREADY IS! OMG LIKE MORE RANDOM IS LIKE MORE EXCITING AND FUN HAHA YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT WILL HAPPEN NEXT THAT WOULD BE SOOO FUNNI HAHA XDDDD

>>30720879
>Truant
Bypass all immunizes, resistances, substitutes, protects, walls. On cooldown turns the damage you take is halfed.

>>30721006

I always thought that Pressure meant air pressure, or some kind of movement restriction over the battlefield. Most of the mons that get it are Flying or Psychic typed, and my headcanon is that the ability makes it a little harder to move physically, so attacking takes extra effort, hence the PP drain.

See the animation in Battle Revolution.

>Keen Eye and Compoundeyes combine and share each other's effects
>Unnerve is now special Intimidate

>Truant
each "Slacking" turn is treated like Sleep status. It removes bad ailments and allows the usage of moves like Sleep Talk

>>30723565
Your unnerve is better than my one.

>>30723592
That's far too overpowered.
Maybe something like each inactive turn regenerates 1/8 health.
Maybe not that much because Slaking does have a load of HP, but something to give it some preservability.

>Pickup: Every contact move will steal an item if none are held
>Blaze/Torrent/Overgrow: Innate 15% damage boost per each type, 75% HP gives 25% boost, 1/2 is still 50%
>Full Metal Body: prevents sleep/burn/poison as well instead of being literally clear body

>Swarm: Bug-type moves deal double damage.

Easy fix GF, Christ.

>Gluttony
>Pokemon holding the item Leftovers now recover 1/8 of their HP every turn.

>giving durant, heracross, galvantula, volcarona, escavalier, and more double BP bug STABs

That's almost as stupid as that guy who wanted the starter abilities to give priority to their stab moves

The reason why something like water bubble is balanced is because araquanid hits like a little girl without it

>>30720879
Traunt
Increases the damage of 2 turn moves
