Just Get Lucky:
Pokemon only takes damage from critical hits, critical hits do not receive a damage boost

Best Offense:
Pokemon uses its defense stats instead of its attack stats during damage calculation

this pokemon gains +1 to each stat after 5 turns.,maybe 10 because I don't actually know how long that thing can last

>Energetic Aura
This pokemon's moves and its allies' moves have increased priority while this pokemon is out

>Dramatic Aura
The user and its allies increase their most proficient stat by one stage once their health is below 50% if this pokemon is out

>Enraging Aura
The user and its allies' moves are increased in damage while this pokemon is out (lets say, a 20% boost), but have 10% less accuracy.

>Corrupted Aura
While the user is out, all moves have their type assigned to them randomly after being chosen. (Give the pokemon in question a move that bypasses this effect)

And now give more pokemon access to Aura Break.

> Unbroken
Weaknesses and resistances are less variable than the common table:
x4 are x2
x2 are x1.5
x0.5 are x0.75

Pokémon to have that ability:
> Bastiodon
> Probopass
> Aurorus
> A-Sandslash

>Adrenaline
All attacks become critical hits when in red health.
>Epidemic
If the opponent switches while having a status condition, the switched in Pokémon will get the same status condition on entry.
>Conquest
On entry puts the opponent under the infested affliction for three turns.

Easy-Going: Heals HP when a move fails/nothing happens.

Show Stopper: Sound-based moves gain a 30% chance to flinch.

Decoy: Once per battle, when hit by attack, the Pokemon automatically generates a substitute.

Bust a Move: When a Z-Move is used, the Pokemon uses a Z-Move that it is compatible with.

If this Pokemon remains in battle for 20 turns, you win the battle.

Yes, and??? Guzzlord is still bulkier that the average pokemon, and thanks to this ability, it can run full defensive investments. Get outsped, survive, OHKO, restore large amounts of health. I bet you're one of those faggots that say no guard fissure machamp wouldn't be broken.

Mold Armour: When attacked, ignore the attackers ability. Works on huge power, tough claws, adaptability, technician, and other things. Basically a defensive Mold Breaker.

252 Atk Life Orb Garchomp Outrage vs. 252 HP / 252 Def Guzzlord: 588-694 (90.4 - 106.7%) -- 43.8% chance to OHKO

252 Atk Adaptability Lucario-Mega Close Combat vs. 252 HP / 252 Def Guzzlord: 656-772 (100.9 - 118.7%) -- guaranteed OHKO

Fully invested Garchomp with a LO can barely OHKO it with a Super Effective Outrage, same with a Mega Lucario. Guzzlord may be shit right now because it has no recovery, but you know it has more bulk than Toxapex and Eviolite Chansey, right?

>>31248228

>flying types

>sturdy
>air balloon
>focus sash
>meta of fairies/tapus
>bring your own OHKO move
>outspeed and hit with SE

the most common counter I get is that machamp is scarfed which allows him to outspeed many threats and that mons who have sturdy are weak to dynamic punch or that flying types could get hit with stone edge. But then most people going this angle forget that they argue for a scarfed machamp, so that means fissure won't come into play until a switch is forced, thereby taking momentum off the machamp player

User can see the opponent's moves and can choose to disable one move or the use of items on that pokemon for the rest of the match.

Pokemon can move twice in a row while ignoring debuffs and stage effects, this move always goes first.

Hermit Purple
Causes a small amount of electric damage and a chance to cause paralysis, cancels any charging attack the enemy pokemon is doing, can hit even if enemy pokemon is flying or underground.

Killer Queen
Whenever the enemy pokemon uses an item or has an item used on it, the enemy pokemon takes heavy fire damage.

>>31249910
I didn't know a single stage boost to priority was so huge, I'll admit.

as adaptation goes, it might be worse than that.

The idea is that if an attack hits mew that matches the typing of one of mew's attacks, it reduces damage by one quarter.

So if your mew's set up is
>Giga Drain
>Swords Dance
>Ice Punch
>Thunderbolt

Mew would have a 25% resistance to Grass, normal, Ice, and electrical attacks.

Meant to say can't be by attacks, weather, or hazards.

Hungry - Contact moves will consume the opponent's berry
Fight Back - Attacks that deal 50% or more of this Pokemon's HP will trigger an automatic Counter (same effect as Counter, does not work if pokemon is KO'd)
Whimsy - On stat boost, one other stat is also raised per boost (ie calm mind raises 2 other random stats)

>Fearsome
The opposing Pokemon will be switched out at the end of the turn in which this Pokemon is sent out.

>Livewire
If targeted by a water-type attack, damage is negated and the attacker will receive damage equal to an electric-type Stealth Rock (so, 1/8th if electric is normally effective, 1/4th if SE, 1/2 if quad-SE, etc.)

>Specialist
Turns all physical moves into special moves.

>Recall
Has a chance of using a damage dealing move that has been previously learned that would be Super Effective against the target IF the move selected is also a damage dealing move AND would deal more damage than the selected move. Has only a 25% chance of occuring.

>>31251002
>>31251101
(Also I probably should have clarified that Second Wind will only proc once per battle. Think of it as something similar to Disguise, but with more specific activation terms, albeit more widely distributed. It's easily countered with any methods that would cripple a Focus Sash user, such as status, hazards, and weather, so I think it's fair.)

Now, how do we do Brave?

>Brave
The turn after using a move that only targets itself, the Pokemon's next attack is guaranteed to become Critical.

I think Brave would work better like this:

Transpose: This Pokemon's typing(s) resistances and weaknesses are swapped on the offensive and defensive side

given to a few grass and ice types. Maybe also to a few bugs and one dragon. This way Gamefreak can still make defensive ice types and have them not be shit tier.

>Deep Sleep
The user sleeps for 1 turn longer than they would normally, but while they are asleep, their defenses are boosted by 33%.

Priority moves used by the user on the first turn it is out have their power increased by 50%, but are decreased by 25% on subsequent turns.

On a turn in which both players are switching, if you have a Pokemon with this ability in your party and you happen to switch out second, you can choose to send out your Pokemon with Barge In instead of what you just chose to send out.

A controversial one that would never make it into the game:
>Androgynous
Infatuation-based moves and effects (such as Attract) work on same-sex and genderless Pokemon

Psycho Stream
The pokémon gradually gains special attack every turn. This is applied as a flat increase and is separate from boosts, similar to huge power.

>Stride Break
Moves that hit multiple times in the same turn will only hit this pokemon once

>Strong breeze/Storming
Clears all entry hazards upon entering the field.
Alternatively, Wind based moves like Gust, Hurricaine, Twister, Aeroblast and Whirlwind clear all sneaky pebbles.

>>31256070
>one of the few ways that pheromosa can be defeated is to bait the HJK on a ghost
>now it can't miss

100% accuracy still doesn't affect ghosts, my man. If anything, this would make Pheromosa more trigger happy with HJK and make it easier to bait.

>kartana essentially gets dragon dance

Not sure how to fix that one without completely changing it. You can have that point.

>guzzlord

How often will Guzzlord even get a kill in the first place, to be honest? But it's true that I wasn't thinking with the amount. Make it 50% then. With Guzzlord's max HP compared to most other Pokemon, it's not gonna really amount to much for it, anyway.

Once per battle, if the user's HP drops down to half or less, they can summon an ally Pokemon to attack for their turn. Won't work if the Pokemon is alone or if the rest of the team has fainted.

>Vulcanized
Takes 1/2 damage from Fire and Ice moves, immune to Electric and cannot be paralyzed.

How would it bypass Protect if that lasts the entire turn's duration? It's really only a Sub and Sash breaker, with a few other obscure uses.

>Temper Tantrum
Fatigue-inducing moves (Petal Dance, Thrash, Outrage) have 33.3% more power at the cost of lasting only 2 turns.
In-game: Increases power and decreases duration of fatigue-inducing moves.

>Spotter
Increases accuracy of allies' moves by 10%.
In-game: Makes allies' moves slightly more accurate.

>Tunnel Vision
Increases move accuracy by 10% and base power by 25%, but Pokemon with this ability can only target one enemy Pokemon position during Double Battles. Sort of like Choice items but for targets.
In-game: Increases accuracy and power, but can only attack one position.

>Disciplined
Prevents stat reduction from the Pokemon's own moves (Hammer Arm, Close Combat, Leaf Storm, etc.), but decreases basepower by 15%.
In-game: Prevents self-inflicted stat reduction but makes moves less powerful.

>Tactical Advantage
If the Pokemon goes after both enemy Pokemon in a Double Battle, a move that usually hits a single target affects both enemies.
In-game: Single-target attacks hit all enemies if the user moves last.
