This could be a good thread

Ive said it in the 'what new evos would look like' thread.
Innocence: Enemies attacking with a move that have a base power of 50 or more fail to attack.
Pokemon to have it- Happiny, Pichu, basically all baby Pokemon.

Shining Pearl: Enemies accuracy is lowered by 5% each turn.
Pokemon to have it- Spoink, Grumpig, Palkia.
 

Mythic Mist

Indecent Exposure
Bewilder: Lowers opponents Special attack when entering the battle

Pokemon to have it: Mantine, Dusknoir, Spinda, Tentacruel, Cradily

May be my opinion, but having this ability on these pokemon would really help balance out the game, reducing the amount of Blisseys...maybe..>_>
 

FireStormCharizard

Storm of Fire
Temptation: Makes a pokemon of the other gender less likely to attack by 10%

Pokemon to have it: Ah, Lopunny, Luvdisc

It's like attract, but less annoying. ^.^

Storm of Fire
Imitation- Automatically copies foe's stat changes.

Evaporation- Evasion increases in sunlight.

Conviction- Item effect is boosted greatly, but defenses fall greatly too.

Braggart- Increases attack/sp.attack stat changes easily(Like, a swords dance effect would be doubled), but defenses fall for every change.

I would like to see an ability or move that allows you to attack when you switch in. Not to be used in conjunction with U-Turn or Batton Pass though.

That is all I can be bothered to think of right now.

FlameTrainer, your Fierce Rage ability is too strong. Give a pkmn Focus Sash and Swords Dance first turn and endure the second and it's attack would be up 4 stages (300%). It would unbalance the metagame. Especially if so many pkmn had it as you suggested.

An ability that can automatically detect haxed or gs/ar pokemon.
 

Darkmaster Rannon

Thundercats Hoo!
An ability that can automatically detect haxed or gs/ar pokemon.

yes, lets give a pokemon who amy be hacked that ability, right :surfpika: WEEEE!

anyway the people who suggested more abilities for legendaries, face it it will never happen because if there is only one of something in the game, then how they hell are you gunna get it? and if arceus ability is changed, then he can't use the plates
