What abilities would be great as new additions or better if they were upgraded?
One day, I was just sitting around with a bored expression thinking about how much better after the upgrades it got (A natural Focus Sash as opposed to protection against Horn Drill), so I had the idea: What sort of new abilities or upgraded abilities could we have to make some pokemon more interesting or usable? This is basically a thread where you use your creative juices to come up some creative ideas for new abilities or old ability upgrades like the one listed above. If you're posting a new ability, just post the name of it and what it does. If it's an upgrade/update of a previous ability, put it in the same format as the example below.
Keen Eye:
Old: Opponent cannot lower the user's accuracy.
New: User is unaffected by boosts in the target's Evasion stat (regardless of whether it's boosted by a move like Minimize or an ability like Snow Cloak)
In this example, I listed what the ability does now and below it, I typed in what I would have wanted the ability to do if changes are someday made to it. There's only a few rules that I want people to follow though.
1. The ability effect must have some sort of relevance to its name.
2. There is to be no talk about new abilities that would break the metagame (So no talking about an updated Wonder Guard that would also protect against residual damage like Magic Guard).
3. We're simply talking about abilities, NOT which pokemon they would be great or broken on. And
4. HAVE FUN WITH YOUR IMAGINATION!
That is all, now start creating.
