When I first learned about secondary abilities, I thought they worked like this, where a pokemon would always have its base ability and then occasionally would have it's secondary ability on top of that

[@vanesslifeygo]

Imagining this in Gen 6 Doubles. Mega Evos would be kept more in check because they can only have one ability. Ttar Excadrill would be in a much higher tier. Porygon2 would be much more offensive and even exceed Cresselia in usage.

Love the Pokémon conquest music in the middle of the vid lmao

[@marcdestroyer13]

No need to imagine the Pokemon Hack Elite Redux already gives the pokemon 4 abilities the main ability and 3 passives. but you have to choose between three abilities for the main. It also added a bunch of other abilities, an example is that it combined all of the sun abilities into one ability so it's like having a pokemon with 8 abilities.

[@Isaacellobo]

We've had this in mystery dungeon. Lucario had steadfast and inner focus which made steadfast impossible to activate

[@wrenfeatherx]

PokeRogue actually does this! It gives all Pokemon an extra ability they don't get in the main series that you can unlock. The first one I unlocked was Moxie on Flamgio, and it CLEANS

[@seahawksthabes]

A pokemon that wasn’t mentioned is Cinccino. Even tho cute charm is ass, Skill Link and Technician would tear a hole on a lot of teams considering it learns bullet seed, rock blast, tail slap, and triple axle. Tidy up is also there for a dragon dance and item removal. In terms of an item, you have the option of choice items and life orb

[@dazedmoon8762]

Great video! Would love to see more in this style

[@cabbage1699]

This is exactly the sort of content I want to see on this channel

Protean Torrent Ash-Greninja at 20%HP in Gen 7: "This Z-Move boosted Hydro Pumps about to be the ultimate nuke Lil bro."

[@n00ph]

fox capture plan as background music? that's why you're my goat, freezai

[@SonnyFRST]

I wanna make a case for Flygon. Because it would've been stupid for a winged creature with the word FLY in its name to not be airborne, Trapinch loses all 3 of its abilities for Levitate upon evolution, but that never really sat right with me so I'd like to propose some tweaks for Flygon's case: Levitate, Sand Stream and Compound Eyes (these are picks based on its physical characteristics over meta)

[@KangasKong9944]

Zangoose about to go off

[@MaddyWhimsicott]

This is sick, might get into the meta :3

[@SilverDragonMoon18]

Dragalge with both Poison Touch and Poison Point. No matter what, someone is getting poisoned

[@DanifromDani]

In the pokemon mystery dungeon series, every pokemon has their primary and secundary ability at the sale time

[@auragameryt]

*someone tries to make it flinch with a dark type move* Lucario: not only did that not work, but you just boosted me twice

[@bobertjohnson4459]

8:00 Honestly, singles is such a foreign world to me already, this format just makes it worse. Ah yes, top meta threats like Great Tusk and *Clodsire*.

[@sketchydude8431]

It's not that difficult to believe Clodsire is already a great special wall with great ability options in Unaware, Water Absorb and Poison Point This meta allows you to use all those abilities at once, so naturally it's going to be very good.

[@shadowmarth32]

Yooo OMF2097 soundtrack!! wasnt expecting the nostalgia trip

[@whoopshaha]

I got so excited when I saw the thumbnail thinking you did a pokebilities session

[@hamburger0421]

I was zoning out and saw the title, and thought there was only going to be pokemon that had ALL the abilities and it was going to be some math stuff about who is the most powerful pokemon then

[@mjm3091]

We don't need to wonder much - that's just Mystery Dungeon mechanics.

[@NitroIndigo]

There was a meta called Shared Power in Gen 8 where each Pokémon's ability affects the whole team, but it didn't work properly.

[@gg_sam7847]

I thought of this agessss ago, and one of the most fun Pokemon I came across when diving into the idea was Heliolisk, it'd make a really interesting 'mon to go into a weather team. Sand Veil to boost evasion in sandstorms, Dry Skin to heal in the rain, and Dry Skin and Solar Powered boosts special attack in the sun but also damages it over time

[@gg_sam7847]

Okay but to be fair, if Hidden Abilities are accessible it should be made so that Pokemon can only have 2 abilities and the Hidden Ability replaces one of them

[@KenBladehart]

Theres actually an Emerald hack with this feature called Elite Redux. The hack also adds abilities based on Pokedex entries, like most Pokemons that stated they prey on other Pokemons gets an ability that recover their HP upon K.O.

[@virtualcolt]

I think this is exactly how abilities work in the Mystery Dungeon games (at least in Sky and Darkness, I'm not sure if it carried over to the others) so Luxray can have both Rivalry and Intimidate.

[@princetbug]

Mainline is really sleeping on all the potential Mystery Dungeon set up

[@camoveteran2219]

They should introduce the move "Ability Switch." It has 1 PP and allows the pokémon to switch abilities mid match but excludes hidden abilities.

[@theschnozzler]

Yanmega is cracked 🥶

[@N0x3w]

love how you decided on cyrus for your character of choice

[@Ariamaki]

As somebody who already loves all of the big round idiots discussed in this video (Especially Conk) I am very pleased.
