So now we have an Ability that bypasses immunities. What other "screw the rules" Abilities could they introduce?
>>27040697
Scrappy
stealth rock auto-remover probably
>So now we have an Ability that bypasses immunities.
You act like this is the first one.
>>27040721
Added to all the generic Rock-types: Golem, Rhyperior, Gigalith, etc.
>>27040739
It is ?
Mold breaker bypasses abilities, so ability-induced immunities, but no real immuties.
>>27040721
Or a hazard absorber. User is healed by Waldo Boulders and Spikes instead of the other way around.
>>27040801
See >>27040716
Also it only bypasses status immunity. It still can't use poison moves against steel.
>>27040886
it poisons a skarmory you faggot
The most broken thing I can think of would be an ability that reverses all type efficiency and turns the battle into an inverse battle as long as it is active.
>>27040915
Poisons a Skarmory with Toxic, yeah.
Diglet used fly!
>>27041090
poison types now being able to be poisoned is so dumb :(
>>27041272
Yeah. It makes sense for pokemon like zubat and ekans since they're flesh and blood creatures and venomous animals can still be poisoned. But how do you poison something like a garbodor or muk, which is basically made of poison?
Ability to burn fire-types
>Ground-type attack that affects Flying-types/Levitating Pokemon.
>Ability that allows types immune to poison to be poisoned.
>Ability that allows Ghost-types to be hit by Normal/Fighting moves.
Electric move that works on Ground-types / ability allowing Ground-types to be hit by Electric attacks when?
>you can poison muk but you can no longer paralyze pikachu
hmmm
Ability that prevents effects from contact moves, allowing attackers to hit Flame Body or Iron Barbs Pokemon with impunity.
How about an ability that allows them to make a move even when asleep, frozen, or paralyzed? It could also cut into damage or accuracy as a check.
Moves that create new weaknesses. Like a dark move that is always Super Effective when used on a Fighting Pokémon.
>>27040915
Poison is a status. I doubt it could use, say, Sludge Bomb against it, but we'll have to see.
>>27042720
So Freeze Dry variants
>>27042814
I forgot that exists because of its shit distribution, thanks.
>>27042222
It's injecting them with bleach. Bleach cleans dirty things, but also kills living things.
>>27041272
Yeah it shouldve just been steel types...
Abilities that grant a pseudo 3rd type.
Like Fire/Dark wrestler litten with an ability that boosts the power of Fighting moves by 50%
>>27042222
You corrode them in a powerful solvent. And neither's really pure poison. Garbodor may not even be especially toxic, just disease-ridden and rotten.
I just want a freezing move, or an ability that can freeze.
It's not so hard, damnit.
>>27042544
Grounded circuit/complete circuit: Allows electric moves to hit ground types and makes electric types immune to Ground
>Excadrill used Earthquake
>Raichu's Complete Circuit
>Raichu is properly grounded
An airborne version of Arena Trap or at least a Flying version of Magnet Pull. Call it Vortex or something.
>>27040721
I STILL don't understand why Stealth Rock can activate more than once.
You use the move once and then it just stays indefinitely? How is that fair?
>>27042995
freezing is annoying. although there are OHKO moves...so sure. how about this
>Flash Freeze
>Acc. 50%
>PP 10
>Freezes your fucking opponent cause why not
>>27043855
that's like asking why Poison or Leech Seed does damage more than once. Do you really think they would make a move that does 12.5% most of the time only do damage once?
>>27042995
Freezing is the stupidest status by far. Unless they make more ways to end it, they should basically treat it as if it doesn't exist
>>27043168
You mean shadow tag.
Auto Trick Room ability
rest in piss fast mons
>>27044019
I think he mean just flying types
>>27043168
Magnet Pull is a really cool ability. Maybe Fairy Ring could allow Fairies to catch other Fairies
>Ability that activates Inverse Battle Rules.
Say hello to your new king.
>Reversal
>Grants Immunity to super-effective moves
>Immunity becomes super-effective
>>27040697
Immolation- allows the user to burn Fire types
Freezing Body- chance of freezing the foe on contact, from either side (an ice version of Poison Point + Poison Touch)
Dragonforce- allows Dragon moves to hit Fairy types
Paranormal- allows Ghost moves to hit Normal types
Spirit Gate- 20% chance of Destiny Bond's effect when the user faints
Protective Stance- permanent Wide Guard
Grounded- allows Electric moves to damage Ground types
Omnivore- hazards heal the user, and then are removed from battle; Leech Seed is also absorbed for HP
>>27040928
too complicated for the youngsters
>>27044250
>Spirit Gate
This is ridiculously OP. You have a 20% chance to kill something even if you do everything wrong. This would go straight to ubers, and maybe past if the mon it was on is usable.
>>27042917
>three STABS
this could make a Pokemon OP but not exactly change the game
>>27044484
And something like Freeze Dry or Flying Press wouldn't be?
Bulbapedia has to give Flying Press its entire own type chart.
>>27040847
Mega Regirock
>>27044518
>straight to ubers
>even if unusable shitmon
Yes, everybody will be filling a slot with a shitmon for a 1/5 chance to not fall terribly behind.
>>27044575
>Bulbapedia
>using the most thorough and well designed informative pokemon website
really?
>>27044636
That has literally nothing to do with anything though
>>27044575
No, because one weird move is a lot different than every move being inverted
>>27044755
Except every move being inverted is already a feature in the game that was implimented, so it's not too complicated for the youngsters if it already got approved. An ability would just turn battles starring that Pokemon into the same kind of battles already in the game.
>>27044250
> protective stance
RIP non-Mold Breaker SlideQuake
Shuffle- Transfers entry hazards on your side of the field to the opponent's side.
Aqua Veil- Boosts Defense and Special Defense in rainy weather
Snow Drift- Speed doubles in hail
Sand Armor- Reduces the damage of super effective attacks received by half during a sandstorm.
Dehydrate- Reduces the opponent's speed by half during sunny weather.
Misty Cloak- Reduces damage received by 25% during Misty Terrain.
Conductor- Boosts special attack 1 stage when Electric Terrain is active.
Life Tap- Absorbs 1/8th hp from the opponent at the end of the turn during Grassy Terrain.
>>27044599
I worded that weird, I meant "if it's usable it'll be sent to ubers, and if it's more than usable it might go further."
Retribution - Whenever this Pokemon takes Super Effective damage, the attacker receives 1/3rd of that damage as recoil.
Parasyte - The pokemon steals the HP recovery of the opponent
Amnesia - The pokemon stat changes/status condition resets after every turn
Last Word - The pokemon will execute its move even if it faints/it's switched out by Roar, etc.
>>27046572
I like all of those
>>27045439
>>27046572
That's actually pretty interesting.
>>27044004
Here is how you fix Freeze status:
>50% chance to thaw out every turn
OR:
>thaw out once you switch out
This way, if you Freeze someone, you might get a chance to set up, and if you get Frozen, you have a way to fix it
>>27046772
Make a new ball that auto-thaws when you switch out.
>>27044096
That ability will be on a pokemon that will have an assload of weaknesses while inverse if it ever happens. Just watch.
>>27040791
why are you using a trip
>>27046849
There'd have to be other balls with awesome powers like that or there'd be no reason not to have this ball on all your mons
>>27043149
>Excadrill used Earthquake
Excadrill has mold breaker you dong
>>27048679
>Hidden abilities
>available
You either need the mutagenic effects of friend safaris or grottos or the horrible experiments of the dream world or cheating
>>27042917
You can already make a Pokemon have three or four types in XY with type-changing moves, so why not just make the ability give them a third type?
>Free Flight - Changes the Pokemon's secondary type to Flying
Given to some Levitate users. Now you won't know if Flygon is Ground/Dragon or Ground/Flying until its ability activates. Same for Gengar's Poison typing.
>>27042544
Doing that would kill the entire purpose of having Glare as a move
It's only %50 but it paralyzes ground types
>>27050707
That's actually a good one
>>27042544
>Mega Marowak gets an ability that lets it hit flying/levitating pokemon with ground-type moves
or
>Bonemerang can finally hit flying/levitating pokemon
Gamefreak please
Rip Sheninja.
>>27051271
Shedinja was already screwed by default
he was always able to be statused
>>27042989
>Garbodor may not even be especially toxic, just disease-ridden and rotten.
Humans shouldn't be allowed near that thing.
>Sleepwalk
Pokemon can freely attack while asleep
>>27051306
but even harder now.
>>27051348
wut
Insomnia already exists
>inb4 hurr but it's actually asleep now
they'll probably have a ghost type that ignores contact moves outright with how wacky this shit is getting
>>27051371
There is a difference you retard. Being actually asleep means you can abuse rest, and not be able to be statused.
>>27051371
Well, that does have the distinction of making it immune to status, and also gives Rest a lot more viability.
Magic-lamp: Any genie instantly faints against this pokemon
>>27051421
>>27051427
Koala already exists
Literally cant be statused by anything outside rest
Am ability that gives all +0 priority damaging moves +2 priority but halves their BP. Maybe give it to Rowlet as its hidden ability. The flaw of this is that this hits all attacking moves, which essentially means you'll never have more than 60 BP moves.
>>27051546
but it can't freely use moves while asleep, can you read anon?
>>27051580
Where does it say that? I assumed by the description on the pokemon site that it fought in its sleep.
>>27051568
Cool idea, halving is a bit rough though. Would Rowlett have any moves to abuse it with really nicely though?
>>27051643
It doesn't say explicitly "it can't still fight normally while asleep," because that would be a bit odd to have to point out. If that's how Comatose worked, they would've said so specifically. Comatose just makes it so the only status that affects it is Sleep. And probably Confusion, because it's never really counted as a Status like the others.
>>27043149
That would be way too broken of an ability. Even worse than Electric/Flying and Electric w/ levitate, and at least those have moves that can circumvent the weaknesses.
Ability: switching priority is lowered to 0 while this Pokemon is on the field
>>27040886
Where is the proof?
>>27044836
I'd say that's a better idea for a move than an ability. Something like Trick Room.
>>27051268
>>27042544
Thousand Arrows hits Flying types and brings them down like Smack Down
>>27051645
A 100BP move that lowers defense 2 stages 50% of the time. If it works, unless they switch, it essentially would fix the flaw in the ability.
>>27051268
Shouldn't even be an ability
Bonemerang should just have that as a special property
>new ability
Polarised
When this pokemon makes contact with another, both parties are switched out to a random pokemon
Give it to something defensive as fuck with recover
>>27052500
That'd eliminate physical anything from the meta.
Have Polarised activate for special attacks then you've got a deal
>>27043984
>Switch out
>Leech seed is gone
>Switch in
>Stealth bebbles do 1/2 to your pokemon
>Get poisoned
>cry
>>27040697
when this pokemon sent out absorb all layer trap and boost random stat
>>27040697
An ability whose sole purpose is to activate trigger abilities when the user enters battle
>>27040697
An Ability that allows Dragon Type attacks to affect Fairy Types.
