Buff Abilities

>>31817387
>What do you think?
I think that abilities should be removed.

i don't really rate your other tweaks but run away should have that effect, you're right

what about pursuit though

run away: self-affecting status moves get priority

Queer and Homosexual

Damp: Resistance to Fire

Stench: Pokemon that enter the battlefield lose 1/16th of their health if this Pokemon is out, except on the first turn.

Noguard bypasses all protect clones and wide guard

Honey Gather now acts as a free Leftovers

Unnerve is a special version of Intimidate

Mold Breaker now ignores type immunities (ex: EQ can hit flying types)

Emergency Escape: The Pokemon can't be reduced below 49% health return it switches.

>>31817387
Inner Focus: Forces the game to make Psychic-types to appear 50% of the times like Static and Magnet Pull (Fuck those Abra with their 25% rate and its 12.5% of encounter one having Synchronize)

Run away: Switching out doesn't cost a turn.

Slow Start: Attack and Special Attack of all pokemon on the field are halved for the first 5 turns that this pokemon is out I want regigigas to be good it's not fair

Bulletproof: Moves at base 75 BP or lower do not affect this pokemon This may be a little OP

Truant: This pokemon moves last every other turn.

>>31817446
Abilities are stupid and makes no sense. Why some Lanturn absorbs water and some absorbs lightning?

Why some Magneton won't pull steel types? Are they broken?

To ride on OP's example, Lanturn should absorb lightning, water and have an increased hit rate.

>Unnerve is a special version of Intimidate

>>31817387
Defeatist: In addition to reducing Attack and Sp. Attack by 50% it now increases Speed by 50%.

Zen Mode: It now activates as soon as a Darmanitan with this ability is sent out.

Emergency Exit: If hit by a Super Effective move it switches out.

RKS System: Now it changes the user's type when holds a Z-Crystal.

yeah they should do away with abilities and just have them be inherent to the pokemon

then the pokedex can actually be useful and tell you unique traits of the pokemon rather than just 2 lines of (usually) uninteresting lore or whatever

>>31817597
>RKS System: Now it changes the user's type when holds a Z-Crystal.

Honestly, it should have been this.

>>31817502
>Unnerve is a special version of Intimidate

That'd be great on Mewtwo, a shame it won't happen.

>>31817568
>immunity to almost all priority
>immunity to most Technicians
>immunity to Skill Link users

Well, it'd probably make Chesnaight closer to Greninja

>>31817387
I actually really like these, anon.
I do think Frisk is a little overpowered, though. It makes Unnerve (an already useless ability) even more useless.

>>31817568
Bulletproof would be better for moves that are 60BP or lower tbqh familia

>>31817576
>makes no sense
just like everything in pokemon, deal with it autist

>>31817387
>Illuminate: Increases Accuracy by 33% or Reduces opponent's Accuracy by 1

>Specs Hydro Pump/Thunder/Blizzard Starmie

>>31818657
Unless Unnerve works like a special version of Intimidate.

>>31818730
Yep, this would be a good, gimmicky use of Starmie.
Like Mega Pidgeot No Guard Hurricane.
Like Serene Grace Jirachi Iron Head
Like Life Orb Sheer Force Nidoking Sludge Wave

It would be a good Starmie.

Cute Charm: Auto infatuation on switch in. Ignores gender.
Defeatist: User loses flying type.
Truant: 50% of being a lazy fat ass each turn. User wont be a lazy fat ass twice in a row but the opposite can happen.
Illuminate and Stench: Accuracy enemy drop on switch in (an Intimidate for accuracy)
Wonder Skin: Status moves always miss against the user.
Big Pecks: Defense can't drop. Defense raises sharply when any stat drops. Defense raises to the max when struck by a critical hit.
Keen Eye: +1 Accuracy. Accuracy can't drop. Ignores foe's evasiveness stat.
Magma Armor: Immune to water. (water evaporates like when climate is extremely harsh sunlight)
Water Compaction: Immune to water. +2 Defense when hit by a water attack.
Vital Spirit: +1 Speed. Cannot fall asleep.
Pickup: 50% of recicling an used item each turn.
Healer: Also works on user.
Grass Pelt: +2 Def and SDef when in Grassy Terrain

Heavy Metal: x2 weight. +1 Def and SDef as long as it has the ability.
Light Metal: x0.5 weight. +1 Speed as long as it has the ability. (No one wants Megagross at +1 speed)
Rivalry: Increases damage against same gender but doesnt reduce damage against opposite gender.
Shield Dust: User it's also immune to status attacks.

I can't remember more shit abilities right now

>>31817387
>Super Effective
No. Corrosion should just negate steel and poison type immunity and resistance, but not make it super effective overall; Making it do SE eliminates the entire purpose of being on a fire type. As it is now, it should have been on a slower, tankier pokemon.

>>31817462
Make it act like Z moves do, and that would be fair.

>>31817735
Multitype does it. They probably just wanted it to feel like gimped arceus (that or they just forgot).

>>31817507
Emergency escape: Switch occurs at the end of the turn, instead of after you get hit

>>31817387
Cuckold Terrain
>Creates a cucking terrain that prevents faggots from using entry hazards like Stealth Rock or Spikes.
Did I fix the game?

>>31817387
ice body - contact with this pokemon freezes the opponent for 1 turn

Emergency Exit: This Pokemon will switch out after using a contact move when under 50% HP.

Overgrow, Blaze and Torrent should have their damage boost lowered to 33% but be active at all times.

>>31819433
What appropriate digits those are.

Emergency Exit: All moves cause switch out after hitting.

>>31819236
Only if this comes packed with every other ability in game.

RKS System: This Pokemon's type changes to match the held memory disc or Z-Crystal.

Memory discs now boost the power of their respective type moves by 20%, but only for Silvally.

Multi-Attack's power is reduced to 90, but now have an additional effect depending on the held memory disc. Fire may burn, Electric may paralyze, etc.

>>31819857
>Multi-Attack's power is reduced to 90, but now have an additional effect depending on the held memory disc. Fire may burn, Electric may paralyze, etc.
Thats too much. Just make Multi-Attack drop Defense 100%. Your forgetting that Slivally with a memory lacks allot of firepower.

Battle bond - makes watter attacks twice powerful (like water bubble) AND making Water-Shuriken hitting 3 times at 20BP.

So yeah, 120BP priority from 153 S.atk is balanced and fair.

I...I'd actually love this

>>31819857
>Multi-Attack's power is reduced to 90

It's already a flat 90 with no added effects.

>>31820188
Oh. For whatever reason I thought it was 95.

>>31819433
It's actually a good one. far, far more useful, and would honestly improve some starters by alot.

>>31817576
The same reason some dogs are better fit for hunting, and others for shepherding, and other still for fighting. Differences within a species, identified as subspecies, are fairly common.

>>31819171
Probably forgot, just like they forgot to make the speed bracket for the turn check after mega evolving in gen 6.

Power Construct: Zygarde regains Aura Break after transforming into its Complete form.

Or just get rid of Power Construct entirely and make Complete form permanent.

>>31819433
Swampert, Infernape, Empoleon and Primarina would really appreciate this. I'd be like a free Life Orb for starters. But I really doubt a full 50% boost would be broken.

Flash Fire: Gives a +1 to Sp. Atk instead of boosting Fire moves, matches Lightning Rod and Storm Drain.
Anticipation/Forewarn: Gives +1 priority to the next move if the opponent has a super effective move against it.
Battle Armor/Shell Armor: Passive +1 Defense against contact moves
Corrosion: Removes Steel's immunity to Poison as well.
Receiver/Power of Alchemy: Also work in singles.
Healer: Regenerator effect on the entering pokemon, heals after hazard damage to avoid buffing stall too much. Chansey/Blissey get new HAs.
Rattled: Gives +1 Speed if a Ghost/Dark/Bug enters the field.
Water Compaction: Immunity to water attacks.

Anticipation - Buffed to sense super-effective moves with varying types such as Hidden Power, Judgment, and Weather Ball, if conditions permit.
Berserk - Sp.Atk Stamina clone
Cloud Nine and specifically not Air Lock - Eliminates the effects of terrain as well
Cursed Body - 100% success rate, but lasts 2 turns
Magician / Pickpocket - Steals the foe's held item immediately
Motor Drive / Rattled - +2 Speed but otherwise normal
Power of Alchemy / Receiver - If there is no partner, changes ability to that of a defeated opponent
Run Away - Prevents being trapped and takes no damage from Pursuit on a switch
Sniper - Critical hits proc 20% more often as well
Water Compaction - Water attacks do 50% less damage in addition to normal effects
Wonder Skin - Reduces damage of attacks with secondary effects by 33% in addition to normal effects

>>31817446

go back to Gen 2.

Slow Start: Begins with -3 Attack and Speed, raises Attack and Speed each turn. Regigigas can now learn Rest and Protect.

>>31817568
truant nerf would make durant cheese impossible in battle tree. :(

>>31818689
Why not make it 65 to fuck with Knock Off?

Early Bird
Does the same awaken early stuff, but also doubles as a built in Quick Claw.

Steadfast The Pokémon's determination boosts the Speed stat each time the Pokémon flinches.

Instead of that, it boosts its speed stat every time its attacked.

The only way to fix it is to remove SR.

Why would you want an ability that does nothing but give free damage? That's boring as fuck.

>>31824401
Keen Eye already does that. Since Gen 6 actually. Also your idea of Truant is bullshit.

>>31824356
Because having free damage only when on red HP is fun as hell right

>>31824445
Yes as it requires some brain to abuse instead of "lol free damage XD"

>>31824481
Using a Sash or spamming Substitute doesn't require any brain either.

>>31824492
It requires you to do SOMETHING to get the damage boost. Something is better than nothing.

Mentality like yours is what gave us braindead crap like Parental Bond and -iate abilities that just serves to raise the powercreep and make a bunch of things unviable.

>>31824520
Precisely the existence of the retarded -iate abilities is what made me think that Blaze/Torrent/Overgrow could get that kind of buff because they're shit.

>>31819186
This is how the ability should work. So annoying.
Also, when activated during wild encounters, it should act like U-Turn and allow you to simply switch to another Pokemon instead of ending the battle.

>>31817387

>>31824401
>Swarm/Blaze/Torrent/Overgrow
>Damage boost up to 100% at 1/2 HP.

This. I've been wanting the starter abilities to get a buff and this would be pretty big. One idea I've thought of is keep the 1/3 HP and 50% boost, but make the next fire/water/grass/bug attack priority as well. There's plenty of slow starters (especially this gen) that wouldn't really benefit much from the boost.

>>31817502
Mold Breaker doesn't need to be buffed. It's not the greatest ability in the world but it's usable
