Last Chance: this ability belongs to the absolute most annoying Pokemon (to make them more annoying AND easier to beat at the same time). When the Pokemon reaches to 10% of its hp, the next attack has a 15% chance to deal 4X dmg, 30% to deal 2X, 50% to deal 1.5X, and a 75% to deal normal dmg...
HOWEVER....
there's also a 25% chance that the attack will not only deal no dmg, but recover the Pokemon of 10% of their hp. (this is the chance an enemies attack will do a certain amount of dmg, as well as you...so a Skarmory with drill peck with only 5 hp has a chance to deal 4X dmg, but so does any Pokemon that attacks ur 5 hp skarmory).

The Pokemon it belongs to are... (guess)
Skarmory, Miltank, Blissey, Shuckle, Miltoic, Dragonite, and Arcues (lol thatll be fun)

also...

Aura Sight: (lucario only). Gives one the ability to see Aura. Restores accuracy to 100% if opponents evasiveness increases, or Sand Attack or something is used against you. Once your hp depletes to less than half, increases your evasivness by 5%.

The Plot Thickens
Never Give In: If the opponent has fewer than three remaining Pokemon on their team, user's power is multiplied by 1.5. For: Hitmons.

Solid Tip: Jabbing attacks (Horn Attack, Fury Attack, Poison Jab, etc.) are doubled in power. For: Horned Pokemon, Corsola.

Spirit Summon: At the start of the battle, if the opponent has any Ghost Pokemon on their team, they will come out first, regardless of the opponent's orders. For: Dusknoir.

Brainwash: When physical contact is made, there is a 10% chance that the opponent will "forget" (be unable to use) one of it's attacks for 4 turns. The effect is NOT removed if the Pokemon is switched out. For: Uxie.

Lunar Deity: Power doubles if Lunatone is present during a battle. For: Cresselia.

Purification: Negates all effects of Poison-type attacks and abilities (like Effect Spore) on the user's team when the user is in battle. For: Shaymin.

Clairavoyance: Before the turn begins, once the opponent has chosen, the user will "inform" the trainer of what the opponent will do: Switch, attack, or use item.

^^ One question. How would Clairavoyance work? "The foe Metagross will use Earthquake!" "Foe Metagross used Earthquake!" Uh...would it work?

Energy Cannon: All "beam" moves are increased in power (Octillary)
Color Shield: When opponent attacks, pokemon changes type to whatever is least effective (Kelcleon... c'mon guys, he needs the help)
A special intimidate
A special aftermath

i have a question. i may not be good at maths so correct me if i am wrong.
does go in order, like 15% for 4x damage but if i fails this it then tries for 2x damage at 30% and so on. if not surely the logic behind this is flawed.
also, what is the point of doing 4x damage to a pokemon on 5 hp.

Naw...like this: It only works if you haven't chosen what you'll do that turn. Once the opponent has chosen, it will tell you. However, it isn't specific. It'll only say "Switch" "Attack" or "Item".

Another one:

Reflecting Skin: Increases evasiveness in Sunlight. For: Bronzor line.

Optimist: When HP drops below 50%, critical hit ratio is doubled. For: Togekiss.

Toxic Haze: When this Pokemon is Ko'ed, opponent (or opponents) are poisoned. For: Weezing.

Rebellious: Attack multiplies by 1.5, but there is a 10% chance that the Pokemon will not obey the trainer.

Absolute Zero: Speed is lowered by two points, but will 100% freeze if physical contact is made. For: Regice.

Black Smog: Opponent's stats cannot be raised. (Alteration of White Smoke.) For: Not sure.

Power in Numbers: If more than one species of Pokemon exists on your team, the user's stats will be multiplied by 1.5. For: Anyone.

Disastrous: Every turn, one direct attack will be a critical hit, 100%. For: Absol.

Space Warp: Every turn this Pokemon is out, the terrain and weather will change, affecting Secret Power and Nature Power. For: Palkia.

Extreme Pressure: If the user uses Dive, it's Defense will raies by 2 points. For: Gorebyss.

I would like Castform's forecast ability to allow it to change into a ground type in a sandstorm, and have him be able to use a rough, and physical moveset. Other than that, an ability that freezes on contact, confuses on contact, sleeps foe on contact, and one that does something else....
 

Tri hawk

Say no to Poké-drugs
Ancient Earth: Rock type moves gain power as hp lowers.
or
Rock type moves are never 'ineffective'.


For fossil pokemon.
