Create a broken ability with a simple concept and choose a pokemon that would have that ability.
>>26065106
End Pact.
When a Pokemon with this ability faints, it faints a random pokemon on the opponent's team as well.
Given to some ghost type or something.
Probably Gengar because we must find a way to buff Sugi's waifumon every gen.

Shadow Guard
Maximized evasion until hit by an attack.
>>26065106
When an opposing Pokemon activates their ability, reduce Attack by half.
This Pokemon takes no damage during the battle step.
Opposing Pokemon cannot activate abilities during the battle step.
When this Pokemon would be removed from battle, discard an attached item and restore it's HP to full. If this Pokemon has no item, choose one Pokemon at random from the opponent and remove it from play.
This Pokemon cannot attack last.
>>26065234
Not exactly, you could create some pretty good dual type combos for a nice defensive mon
>>26065106
Grudge:
For every hit the pokemon takes or any time it gets inflicted with status of any type, it's attack, speed, and defense all raise by 2 stages.

>>26065362

Hot spot
Burns random two Pokemon on opponent's party every time it switches in
Sunflora just for the lulz
Force Protean
>Change your opponents typing on switch in to the type of the move in your first slot
Give it to Arbok or something, I dunno
>>26065234
It's Protean for wallbreakers.
>metronomic
Forces oppenents move to be random for first 3 turns.
Either from its own moveset or all moves in the game.
>>26065136
Stallfags would be gushing blood for their asses.
>>26065479
So would anything not HO.
>>26065136
Please God make this real.
>Punchable
The opponent can only use punch moves against a Pokemon with this ability
>>26065261
Sounds like Yu-Gi-Oh!
Unstoppable Force
This Pokemon has a small random chance ("Gen 1 miss") to attack twice in a row with its chosen move; all (absolutely no exceptions) secondary effects and subsequent proc chances are removed from the second attack.
No clue who this would even be remotely viable on.
>no rest

>25% chance that all damaging moves cause flinch. This is doubled with boost of attack stat
>Equal Level
When switched into battle, if hp is bellow that of your foe, gain hp equal to the difference between your hp and your foe's.
(When double or triple battling look at the biggest hp difference)
Shimmer
Its like intimidate but with accuracy
>>26065583
>this is doubled with boost of attack stat
It was good until you said that.
Now it's just unrealistically broken.
>rapid reload
Giga impact, hyper beam, etc have no recharge turn. Give it to blastose or metagross or something
>>26065604
OP said to create a broken ability. But I'd agree, I was originally gonna say it causes paralysis when it switches in
>>26065556
>Primal Regigiggas
Capacitor
Its like Blaze/Torrent/Overgrow but for electric types
>>26065556
Does this also apply to non-damaging moves like stat boosts/status effects/phazing/etc? Or would it be hard-coded to only trigger on moves with a "base power" attribute greater than 0?
>>26065534
It is.
Capitalize - Super effective moves get 30% boost

Monopoly:
If the pokemon with this ability is inflicted with a status-condition, all pokemon on the field will give up 15% of their HP to said pokemon
The Forbidden One:
If Pokemon holding the Right and Left arms and legs of the Forbidden One are in the party, you automatically win the battle.
>>26065573
Fuck off with your shitty Sinnoh fire monkey.
Waden
When the pokemon is switched into battle it makes a free safeguard that heals for 15% every turn
last 5 turns
>>26065106
Echo: If a sound move is used, it takes effect a second time at the end of the turn.
>Perforator
EVERY pokemon in either party takes/recovers damage from their item, status and field effects
e.g.
if a pokemon in it's pokeball is poisoned or burned, it will continue to take poison/burn damage when it is switched out
if weather is on the field, all pokemon take weather damage, with the exception of abilities that recover hp like rain dish. solar power will drain hp in sunlight.
any pokemon with leftovers recovers HP while in its ball
grassy terrain will restore hp to grass types, etc
leech seed will not affect any one but the target because leech seed can only ever have one target. Entry hazards obviously only do damage upon switch-in. Delayed damage attacks like doom desire are unaffected
>>26066297
I feel like that ability would make sense with Dialga.
>>26066292
>Double Boomburst Mega Exploud
rip
Devoid: All other pokemon have their abilities negated while this pokemon is on the field
Spiritomb, Chandelure, creepy stuff in general
Slow and Steady: All attacks with a positive priority modifier become priority 0 and the speed stat cannot be modified while this pokemon is on the field.
Slowpoke line obviously. Would need to design a wall with it or give it to an existing one that needs a boost like Bastiodon.
Aggressor: Raises attack when this pokemon hits twice consecutively. Lowers attack when not attacking (using a non attacking move or being halted by a status effect) or missing.
Angry and prideful stuff like Primeape or Luxray. Thought about it also having a hustle esque accuracy modifier but I don't want it to be garbage.
>>26065865
>double belly drum
>does literally nothing after the first one except eat your health

>>26065106
Xatu/Natu's signature new ability, Fategazer:
If Xatu enter in the first turn of the battle he will predict enemy's move, If enemy is going to use a non-damaging move Xatu this turn would use a special taunt(+6 prio) and It would count as a move(you don't need to actually have Taunt on your moveset). If enemy is going to use a damaging move Xatu will auto-swith itself for a resistor, It would do so using a sort of switch move(like v-swith, u-turn), this move is uneffected by immunities and it's damage would be calculated in the same way game calculates Night shade damage, so based on his level.
If enemy is going to switch Xatu would auto switch itself for the most advantaged pokémon on your party against the mon enemy is going to send-in.
This implyies if you use Xatu the first turn of the battle you would be able to select anything as the game would automatically do that for you.
After the first turn this ability effect turn into Magic Bounce.
Inverse- type effectiveness is reversed while this pokemon is in play.
its such a splashy effect, i'd like it on malamar
>reality warping
for legendary pokemon only
highest chance to evade a move

Hard Work: Whenever a Pokemon's stat raises, add an extra +1 to that stat
Give to Ninjask

Causes taunt or torment on switch in. Has a small chance of causing both
>>26066972
some fixes because shitty grammar:
>This implyies if you use Xatu the first turn of the battle you would be able ...
*you wouldn't be able...
>If enemy is going to use a damaging move Xatu will auto-swith itself for a resistor, It would do so using a sort of switch move(like v-swith, u-turn), this move is uneffected by immunities and it's damage would be calculated in the same way game calculates Night shade damage, so based on his level.

Potent
Upon switching in against a female pokemon the opponents pokemon is infatuated and paralyzed. In five turns an egg is either placed in your team or in the PC.
Give it to sylveon why knot
Bad Curse
This pokemon deals 100% more damage but your ally pokemon always takes one third of the damage you inflict.
Only for doubles of course, like Healer or Symbiosys.
In triples, the pokemon would deal 200%damge but allies would take two thirds.
>>26067426
I'd really like Unstable to be a thing, actually
Frost Armor: Raises Def, SpDef, and Speed 2 stages in Hail
Give it to Mega Abomasnow or something.
Immolate:
Fire Type Aerilate
Give it to Mega Typhlosion when that becomes a thing
>>26065106
Turnaround:
This pokemon switches out every time it uses a contact move.
Clean slate:
Clears everything on switch in. Hazards on both sides, weather effects, other field effects, stat boosts, status, screens, everything.
Blunder guard:
This pokemon can only be hit by not very effective moves. HA for shedinja. Have fun guessing which one its using.
>Dizzy Guard
This pokemon can't be infatuated, taunteted, tormented, confused and stat reductions are ignored.

Something that allows Girafarig-Mega to use both a status move and an attacking move every turn.

Phoenix
After 3 turns this pokemon fainted, it ressurrects at full life.

The Moody Factor
Upon switching in, opposing Pokemon gets -2 in one stat and +1 in another.
Only the Bidoof family has it.
>>26065106
Pansexual
This pokemon can infatuate any pokemons of any gender.
>>26068947
>still pu trash
>>26069267
>elemental monkeys get it
>Torch Passer
Upon fainting, all stat changes are carried over to the next party member sent out.
Several fire types would have it, notably Macargo (Shell Smash) and Volcarona (Quiver Dance).
>>26069285
Depends on the order things go in. If it's status first and then attack, they can get an instant nasty-plot boost in and hit extremely hard on the first turn. Though, I'm just expecting Girafarig to get some variant of Parental Bond if for some reason it ever gets a mega.
>>26069112
No guard just makes it 100% accurate....you can still be immune
Trickster
Steals stat increases and trades stat decreases when attacking.
>priority attack to steal increases
>Close Combat reduces the opponents defenses

This is shit, Flame Charge will increase the opponent's speed, Charge Beam the Special Attack and so on...

>>26069735

>Friction Charge
A straight downgrade then. Burn > Par.
Just make it so that fire moves hit water types for super effective damage if you want a fire/electric hybrid. Also typhlosion doesn't learn any good electric moves.

Jack of All Trades
All non-STAB moves get a 50% damage boost
Not sure who to give it to though
Autotroph
Heals 1/8 hp every turn.
>>26070237
deoxys
>>26070237
Give it to mega nidoking. That fucker learns every single goddamn TM in the game; couldn't ask for a better jack of all trades
Vengeful Retribution
If this Pokemon is struck by a critical hit or a super effective attack, the opponent also takes the same amount of damage before applying weaknesses. Bypasses resistances.
>>26070282
Would have to be a substantial Special Attack boost over base Nidoking to make 50% worth using over Sheer Force/Life Orb.
Strong Start
This Pokemons' attack and speed stats drop by half once below 50%, but will be maximized when above 50%
Archeops and Regigigas
>>26065106
Frostbite
All ice type attacks have a 40% chance to inflict freezeburn
(new status, freezes foes and deals burn damage at the same time)
Last Word
The user's attacks are doubled in power, but Speed is reduced to 1
Mega Slowking, among others>Trick Room
Rounding Error
All effects that activate less than 50% of the time are prevented, all effects that activate more than 50% of the time will always occur. This ability affects all Pokemon in battle.
Mega Porygon ZApplies to literally everything: Scald burns will no longer proc unless backed by Serene Grace, Paralyzed Pokemon will never become unable to move, Frozen Pokemon will never ever defrost, Stone Edge will never miss. All damage rolls are fixed to the maximum value under the effects of Rounding Error
>>26070393

Oh, and a counterpart to Last Word:
Last Ward
The user takes 50% damage from attacks, but Speed is reduced to 1
Mega Reuniclus
>Transparency
Raises user's evasion every turn they are not damaged. This includes Substitutes, so you can cheese it by using substitute for a turn.
Goes to Gastly, Haunter, and Gengar.
>>26070486
I'd give Starshine to Palkia as well. Would it also apply to Spacial Rend?
>>26070342
You're right. Even if the entire 100+ BST was allocated to SpAtk, M-Nido isn't much more powerful than regular Nidoking is, it'd be better off keeping Sheer Force, since that boosts it's STABs as well.
>>26070663
Yeah, sure, why not
He is the space pokemon after all
Lucky Streak
-Raises evasion 1 stage when opponent move fails to deal damage to it (either status or miss, end of turn ticks not counted)

>>26065106
Heatstroke
Burns all non-Fire types on the field during sun
Mega Ninetales

Typhlosion uses friction to create explosions, so I don't think it'd be too far-fetched.

>>26067426
>>26067827
Isn't Unstable already existent as Aftermath?
>>26065576
wait hold the fuck up
Is that immune to everything?
I think it is, but I may be missing one, especially with the new fairy-based chart, which I am still not used to.
>>26071357
Still weak to dark, desu
>>26071226
A stronger aftermath basically.
>>26065329
for real, it would be neat to see a move that could hit pokemon in reserve in a balanced way, it's been a mechanic in the TCG since the beginning
>>26071173
Wait, but normal doesn't resi-... oh
Oh NO
>>26065106
Eevee with wonderguard
Emotional.
If this Pokemon's stat is changed by the opponent or its own moves it gets an additional stage of change for the same stat. (For example Growl makes its attack go down 2 stages instead of 1. Swagger gives it +3 Attack. Bulk Up gives it +2 Attack and +2 Defense. Amnesia gives it +3 Sp. Def) The ability activates after the stat changes are applied.
Mega Smeargle.
>>26069267

Vampire
All direct attacks heal the user a bit.
Give it to bat mons.

Special attack is increased every turn.
On Mega Chandelure
Impenetrable
Moves like protect and endure never fail, even when used in sequence
Give it to shielded or shelled Pokemon, most irritating stalls ever
>>26072434
Wow so broken, banned to ubers for sure
Recycle
While this pokémon is in your first slot, there's a 25% (or 50% if you're a real dipshit) chance that you'll instantly get a replacement for any non-pokeball item you use.
No Holds Barred: all attacks are critical hits
Mostly distributed among the shittier dark types.
>>26072447
>>26072449
Thanks Satan.
Lifetaker - When a Pokemon with this ability attacks, half of that damage is also dealt to the opponent's Maximum HP.
Give it to a Ghost mon like Mega Banette or Dusknoir or Giratina or something.
Blind Fury: The user's accuracy is reduced by 30%, but all moves gain a 100% BP increase. Given to Primeape, Tauros, basically anything that's known for anger.
Transdescent: All the Pokémon's moves are one step more effective. All moves used against it are one step less effective. Given to Primal Arceus.
Overkill: Any "excess" damage dealt to a target is applied to the next Pokémon sent out (recalculated for that Pokémon's defense.)
Bright Glow: All light-based moves (Signal Beam, Dazzling Gleam, Flash, Tail Glow) have their effects and/or power doubled.
>>26065576
Dark type moves are super effective.

User:Rayquaza
>>26070787
Why is that good? It'll take high damage from everything but ground and rock moves.
Superheated
Thaws any Frozen Pokémon on the field when switched in, burns any non-frozen Pokémon.
Supercooled
The inverse.
>>26073171
>freeze any non-burned Pokemon
dude are you for real?
>Simochi
Any attempts at healing are instead turned into damage (Leftovers and Leech Seed become residual damage, Recover makes the user lose 50% HP).
If you prefer the ability to be as broken as possible, make it only apply to the opponent, and give this ability to a bulky Pokemon with its own form of recovery.
>>26073171

Doduo, Zweilous, Mega Girafarig
Triple Threat
The user's attacks hit three times at 50% power

>>26065259
give it to?
I say Mega Illumise.
Mega Volbeat gets an inverse ability.
It always hits and has highest priority until it gets hit. You use this with U-Turn. Volbeat does not have fake out so no double dipping.
Call it something stupid like "First Blood" or "First Strike" or "Strike One"
In new special double mega battles, M Illumise uses Helping Hand and M Volbeat destroys everything.
Tetanus
Paralyzed pokemon never move when this pokemon is in play
And for TGC:
Siphon: opponent cannot use energy cards until this pokemon faints.
Bob and Weave: Whenever this Pokémon makes contact with a foe, its evasion increases by one stage. Give to Mega Hitmonchan.
>>26073474
>Talonflame
Fug off, it doesn't need a buff.
>>26076010
That's a nerf, since it would replace Gale Wings.
>>26070232
Immolate is actually a word
It means "burn", basically
Regurgitate
Held berries and items are never consumed, but you still benefit from then
>>26076140
Oh boy that's broken. Give it to a mon with recover
Rock Repair
Pokemon is healed by and removes Spikes and Stealth Rocks upon entry. Given to various stuff that can learn Rock Polish.

Give it to Lilligant only.

Rapid Shot
Any move that can hits 2-5 times now has a much higher chance to hit 4 or 5 times and also has twice as much Power
