Requiem Grace

[cham1259]

Tingling Speed: Always ensures first hit when paralyzed.(but still has the chance to be paralyzed)
This will discourage Thunderwave users thinking that this will cripple the user

More Abilities!!!
Soulful: Resists Dark Attacks.
Pokemon to have it: Phoine, Manaphy, Uxie, Mesprit, Azelf, Celebi.
Special Magic: All attacks become special.
Pokemon to have it: Abra, Kadabra, Alakazam, Mime Jr., Mr.Mime, Espeon.
Physical Force: All attacks became physical.
Pokemon to have it: Slowking, Cranidos, Rampardos.
Pure Water: Resists water and ice attacks
Pokemon to have it: Vaporeon, Goldeen, Seaking, Finneon, Lumineon.

Why would Slowking have Physical Force?

 

[~Tyrannitar~]

Pure Water seems kinda useless. Who would use Water or Ice against Vaporeon, Goldeen, Seaking, Finneon, and Lumineon, anyway? Maybe if a team mate with boosted Special Attack uses Surf, but...

 

[fullmetalotaku]

You're nuts. Yanma and Yanmega have some of the best abilities in the entire game.

I meant better flavor-wise. Plus, I don't really battle at all. I've played a friend or two, but I never really put a WHOLE lot of stock in abilities or moves. I thought that a sound-based thing would be fun, is all.

Also, what about an ability that has an automatic Rapid Spin effect upon entry? As far as I know, it wouldn't be that fair in competitive, but just for fun. Not sure who would have it, though.

 

[RagTag]

they should skip the part of always giving STARTERS the same abilities like OVER GROW and BLAZE. What some one like CHARIZARD needs is 3rd TYPE: makes the pokemon count as a
DRAGON type.
and the move implies for also TYRANITAR ,RHYDON,RHYPERIOR and SKEPTILE

What are you trying to say I literaly can't understand you
(and what does this have to do with anything)

[F0xH0und7]

im not bothering reading any of the other forums so if anyone already has my idea, then ill be sad.

dark shroud-almost like fog but benefits dark pokemon or dark attacks (weavile, darkrai, stunky, skuntank, sableye)

lightweight-prolongs use of fly and bounce (pidgey, spearow, hoothoot, wingull, buneary, starly)

symphony-all attacks that deal with sound deal 10% extra damage (spinda, poochyena, farfetch'd, whismur, loudred, exploud)

 

[kiddragon]

Perma Trace: Copies the foes ability pernamently.
Pokemon to have it: Smeargle

 

[Hell_fire]

sure shot

game text: super effective never misses
description: suoper effective moves can never miss

pokemon to have it: none any pokemon holding scope lense will gain this ability until removel of the item

 

[#Gecko#]

Slow Power-Up or Overdrive: Sacrifices Speed for Attack

 

[Guppo]

;012; I haven't read much of the abilities, so please let me know if I accidentally steal anyone's abilities...

Last Chance: When the Pokemon's HP is at half or lower than half at the end of each turn, their attack will rise. If they regain HP, however, the attack will return to normal (excluding manual stat changes)
Who can use: Hitmonlee, Hitmonchan, Hitmontop, Machop, Machoke, Machamp, any other pure fighters, Butterfree (lol jk, but can you imagine? =P)

Greed: The Pokemon cannot get their item stolen or Knocked Off. I know there's Sticky Hold, but this can provide some more flexibility with this ability. If in a Double Battle, they may occasionally switch items with the ally.
Who can use: Any Pokemon, but they must have a Naughty Nature and be able to learn Theif in their move/TM pool.

 

[RYKUU]

i reckon their should be a move called re-grow
kinda like volt absord,
Description re-grow: when a pokemon is hit by a grass move if the user has regrow it gains half the HP it would have lost.
Pokemon that have it: treeko-sceptile basicly nearly all pure grass types.

 

[Raccario]

Somthing that sharply cuts Sp. Atk, as intimidate lowers atk

Something that makes ghost moves ineffective, like ...i cant think of a name though

 

[tee-tar]

Tempered Steel: Halves the power of fire, water, grass, and electric moves.
Turbocharger: Halves speed for three turns, then doubles attack and speed
Logical: immune to ghost moves

 

[hello moto]

i think ditto should get a new ability-
separation - ( single battle) - pokemon takes twice as much damage to faint.
( double battle)- when all the other pokemon are fainted, the pokemon with this ability becomes two exact copies of it self, with the same moves but stats get halved (separated into to two)

 

[itsme]

Epidemic-If the pokemon gets poisoned, sleep or paralyzed, in 3 turns every single pokemon (including the ones not out in the battle) gains the same thing.
