The confusion, paralysis, and mechanical mischief combo bouta go crazy + rock slide or any good flinch move (or a multi hit with kings rock)

I think Regieleki should have a ability called bounded volt. What it does is when Regieleki faints, it takes every Pokémon on the field down with it including its ally. Ground type Pokémon though get left at one hp. It seams broken but the fastest Pokémon needs a signature ability

Delbird's new ability would be interesting, if it gave allies "good gifts" (like a berry or air balloon) while giving opponents "bad gifts" (like a lagging tail, or black sludge on non-poison types or non-Guts Pokemon). And give Delibird access to a new special type version of Knockoff, called Drop Off.

Man. I wish the Swadloon line was viable.

"A 20% chance to hit themselves" Ah, so an 80% chance for me and a 20% chance for my opponent. Nice.

Before I saw this video when I saw the art cover was absolutely hilarious know if only that was Cynthia’s garchop

Poor Rotom went from being special to being just Ikea furniture and bikes.

I dont think 20% on Rotom is too much. I think 50% is better. Its more of a relaible counter (giving it use against very strong steel mons) and making it less random. The opponent will likely play around it instead of being hit by a 20% chance randomly - thus ironicially reducing salt.

Hypno needs an ability called Trance or something. Which puts Pokémon of the field in a comatose state. Meaning he can use Dream Eater and/or Nightmare.

An ability idea that I've had was for a chariot/charioteer Pokemon. The ability is called rush down and it gives recoil moves a quick claw like effect where they move first in their priority bracket, but the amount of recoil damage is doubled I could also see this ability working with pokemon like emboar or bouffalant

Delibird, Spiritomb, Dodrio, Golurk, Inverted Field sre pretty interesting and Delibird's ability sounds broken

Reverse Battles as an Ability makes for sense for Zygarde than for Giratina Giratina doesn't have anything to do with reversing Type interactions, or affecting them in any way. He's the embodiment of Anti-Matter, and the Distortion world only changes how Space-time and Gravity flow. Zygarde has Aura Break, which reverses Fairy Aura and Dark Aura, and the only NPC that does Reverse Battles is right near the cave where Zygarde is.

I had an idea for a signature ability for Vespiquen. if the opposing pokemon hits vespiquen with a physical move, the Pokémon will be affected by infestation, loosing 1/8th of hp every turn and slowing the speed stat. Idk what to call it but maybe Angry Hive or something like that. Mainly since the Pokédex says that vespiquen has grubs in its hive and use them in battle.

I love your videos but please speak UP 😭😭😭

Slow Reaction sounds cool. But I think I have another way it could work: If Slowbro takes lethal damage and loses all their HP, they will not actually faint until after their turn ends. Effectively letting them set up an advantage for their teammates on the way out the door. Or alternatively, they could try and hit their opponent with one last stab from the grave in hopes of taking them down with them… Potentially stealing a win as the opponent would die first.

Mechanical misschief with a confusion move would be so good

Goated selection of mons. I think spiritomb’s ability should interact with special moves - seems more spiritualistic in nature and physical is already punished enough through burn, intimidate, strength sap etc

I would love an ability called momentum that causes rollout style moves like rollout and ice roller to gain 4 times damage every turn but halves the amount of build up so it goes 30 120 480 but also decreases accuracy to the 80-85% range. I would give it to Donphan who is legitimately just a tire shaped elephant who should be able to use rollout more efficiently

Since garchomp only has one flying move what if grounded flight allowed flying and levitating pokemon be hit by ground moves but like at half damage

You could instead have delibirds ability randomly switch the items of all pokemon on the field

I really want to see Golurk get a regional form or evo that explores his “rocket” or “canon” characteristics. There’s so much potential like cmon GF. Thinking Ghost/Flying Furthermore, I’m imagine this as the flight Pokémon of legends ZA. Granted it’s a huge stretch but imagine flying around in a rocket-robot hybrid around Lumiose Tower

Hm, the Giratina ability is probably more of a nerf when it makes it weak to Bug, Electric, Fighting, Fire, Grass, Normal, Poison and Water only resisting Dark, Dragon, Fairy, Ghost and Ice

4:25 this could work with Tera blast flying too, would be interesting to see on a choice band set maybe

This is a great vidio, but maybe consider lowering the volume of the music? Youre a bit hard to hear

nice concept but the video flow is rather slow

I think you could have made rotors ability to 33% I mean firstly base rotom is weak, secondly the enemy can just use another Pokémon if they aren’t using a pure steel type team.

OMG such a good ideas, please make this a series

Music too loud, voice too quiet

Early bird doesnt make the pokemon wake up 1 turn earlier it halves the number of turns and rounds down. You just gave it a similar ability thats worse in most cases and slightly better in a couple

Where tf is hydreigon's signature ability

Give Celebe an ability called Time Warp that makes all status moves act like Future Sight

I always had the idea of giving Lucario Aura Break and then buffing it to just remove STAB from opposing Pokemon's moves. Or giving it its own flavor of Adaptability with an aura related name like "Aura Surge" or something

Maractus had those moves back in Gen5. But it got banned because it was too good.

I have an ability idea but don't know who to give it too. Here it is anyway: Eyes of Fortune - The user foresees it's opponent's greed, becoming immune to moves/abilities involving items. Effect: Takes no damage and immune to effects from Thief/Knock Off. Immune to Trick/Switcheroo. Unaffected by Pickpocket/Magician.

Usually I don't comment but Giratina got me!! Making a fakemon region and the box art legendaries are guidance and misguidance theme based and initially for the misguidance one, I thought of have the same ability from name to the effects!!

Nah just give Garchomp intimidate

Rather than split the damage. Slowbro should faint after it's attack the turn it got knocked out. So it make sure, it will move this turn.

Oh yes !! I love dodrio !! Im glad someone out there remembered it exists.

Spiritomb could probably inflict curse on contact. It's such a meh Pokemon.

Delibird should give all dark types charcoal, cause they are naughty. Also most of the time charcoal wouldn’t be helpful

10:44 Delibird + Poltergeist user poke can be a hella problematic

Giratina would be a very big anti-Steel Pokémon, which could be cool to see. Overall, all of these abilities are very fun to think about. Good video.

One I've thought is Roid Rage: Atk status increase by 2 stages when hit by a poison type move or gets poisoned. It would fit well with fighting type.

I think Lumineon should get one. I mean C'mon it's the Neon Pokemon, it has bioluminiscense and Neon is a Noble Gas. *SKILL: LUMINOUS GAS* All Wind Moves Have +2 Priority (in reference to the speed of light) and +1.5 Power & Double The chance of Secondary Effects. Moves affected (Learnt by Lumineon) Tailwind (Priority) Silver Wind Ominous Wind Icy Wind Air Cutter Twister Blizzard Gust Lumineon isn't that good on the offensive but this buffs it as a support partner. Counter ability: Wind Rider--> Yeah this skill would have an existing counter too

I really like your ideas, espacially because you tried to get close to the lore, even though the ability would not be strong enough. And I prefer this to some crazy abilities like Good as Gold. Great video! :-)

Why steel and not electric

Inverse type match ups on giratina is so bad for him it gives him weakness to: normal, fight, grass, poison, water, fire, electric, and bug, while he gets resistance to dark, ghost, ice, and fairy. Either it only affects his enemies meaning he suddenly becomes the fairy killer dragon or it needs another pass.

Season of giving Could have s niche in Teams with both knock Off and Poltergeist
