@@mayonaise000oh no this is brilliant

[@visitinggoat6696]

Absol's lore has it warn people from disasters or bad occurrences, so what if absol's presence on the field protected your side from the secondary effect of moves? This notably affects scald, rock slide and especially fakeout.

[@FlygonkingVGC]

I like using its lore so why not make it so that sucker punch when it hits an opponent it flinches if that move was targeted towards an ally so u can still utilize that high attack stat Edit: call the ability premonition

[@sylvicx3437]

So a team wide Covert Cloak? That's honestly pretty dope

[@bulborb8756]

not sure about Scald considering the distribution for that move was nerfed hard in gen 9 as its not nearly as common as it once was

[@primedialga]

maybe if it's switched in, the first time in the fight, for a still active pokemon, it grants all pokemon on your side of the field detect for the turn. Kind of similar to mimikyu in that it can take an attack, but it's only once, only the turn and basically gives you a free switch without endangering a pokemon. detect might be a bit too strong... so something like mimikyu's new ability, where it only drastically reduces the damage, could be a better solution? but that probably needs some play testing.

[@hologram3659]

This might be broken but what if you also gave it a move where you and your partner pokemon have like a 30% increase in evasion to attacking moves that turn. It would be like Protect, where if used multiple times, it has a less likely chance of success. Sorta like mat block but a tad worse.

[@luizfelipevbf5567]

For Aggron: 1. Give it Earth Eater over Heavy Metal 2. Give it +10 attack 3. Give it Wide Guard&Quick Guard That is the best I got, the Ground immunity is thematically fitting and and with the buffed Attack its Heavy Slams do sting quite a bit (as strong as Zamazenta) to go with its existing access to Body Press and Head Smash. It still has a ton of weaknesses and dies to any stray fighting move but that is what Tera is for.

[@supersaiyangod8036]

[@Savings_and_Grift_Plan]

Or at a minimum give it Filter, which its mega form has. Would be even more useful on base Aggron since the rock typing gives it more weakness than plain Steel Type does.

[@SuiseiAnimations]

metal eater

[@clayxros576]

Love Earth Eater as an ability. Thematic and lore flavorful, powerful for EQ avoidance, and simple enough to implement. Personally, I'd just introduce a custom signature move to counter that Fighting weakness. Since lore-wise it shoukd be resistant to them. Reforge +2 Priority status, Steel Type The user takes x.5 damage from Physical moves for the next 5 turns. A basic defensive boost that negates it's x4 Fighting weakness, while also letting it wall stuff like Urshifu by using a status not a stat.

[@Haewangseong.]

i say either get rid of his rock typing or change it to ground. Atleast then he would have 2 immunities and a better defensive typing

an interesting thematic new ability for absol could be "bad luck" an ability that makes a greater chance for bad rolls on the opponents side so lower damage rolls, less chance for crits, greater chance to miss (if accuracy was already hindered in some way), less chance for secondary effects on there moves, lower multi hit move chance, greater flinch chance, ect...

[@mayonaise000]

yeah, and 3 mons that really show this in my opinion are banette, seviper and absol but gen 3 is also home to Sceptile who was the biggest casualty of the Physical/Special split from gen 4, from having access to a decent number of special moves with it being a special attacker...to now having almost no special moves to speak of from gen 4 onward

[@josephbulkin9222]

Jokes on you. I used both Glalie and Camerupt, and they're both great.

[@sketchydude8431]

One thing I wanted to add for Aggron is a move I'm actually using for my dream pokemon romhack (as in I'm probably never gonna develop this as a playable game, but I'm still gonna write ideas and draw designs for it) The move doesn't have a definitive name right now, but the current wips are Shovel-Up or Excavate And its pretty much just a physical steel type move, thats maybe 70 or 80 base power. But its special trait is that it deals super effective damage to ground types (similar to Freeze Dry's interaction with water types) So instead of a ground type switching in on Aggron to KO it with Earthquake, they have to risk taking a strong super effective attack on the switch. (Also worth noting that this isn't an Aggron signature move. Some other steel and non steel types in this hypothetical "game" could learn it as well) And besides that I'd probably just give it Filter from its mega form (not sure if that would help, but eh)

[@baker8674]

Nice one, and tematically it would explain how they can dig tunnels and live in the ground, while disputing space with ground pokemons

[@celloj3703]

[@amiiboguy7288]

I think Castform deserves a fun new evolution that interacts with Terrain. I propose to you Caststorm, it changes form in both weather and terrain, meaning that it can have several different dual types (and also a new sandstorm form) Idk it sounds like a really fun gimmick

[@declanflannery]

I always wonder how they couldn’t think of all of the weathers when designing a Pokemon based on weathrt

[@Jlaps941]

Caststorm is such a good name for an evolution

[@Missiletainn]

Hell yeah!!

[@-libertyprimev1-902]

Or regional form that focuses exclusively on Terrains... Tareform? Like Terraforming but with the cAstFORM name similarity. Also as I've learned a handful of times now, a Sandstorm form of Castform wouldn't make a whole lot of sense as it's more based on Water States caused by weather instead of weather itself (since a Sandstorm would have a distinct lack of Water in any form, this is likely why they never gave Castform a matching form even when they were both present in its introductory generation)

[@funnymanactual]

9:39 missed the chance to instead say "because he spins, duh"

[@toast_busters]

Castform should also be able to instantly cast a weather if it's holding the related weather rock. I feel like the ability working that way would make a ton of sense

[@motherlove8366]

That’s a great idea. On top of that I was always under the impression as a kid that different castform forms had different stats. Which would also be quite cool imo

[@Zorothegallade-gg7zg]

The Weather arceus. Another boost would be to have it gain the benefits of another ability according to the weather. Swift Swim in rain, Solar Power in sun, Ice Body in snow and Sand Force in sand. And yes, give it a freaking sand form Game Freak, it's been 20 years, just give it that one.

Gen 3 pokemon trying not to have 80 in a defensive stat (impossible)

[@ogopogoagogo]

Swalot is a Pokémon I have always associated with the Stockpile mechanic, a move that lets you stack up to three stockpiles on the mon (each one increasing their Def & Sp.Def by one stage as of Gen 4) which then can be cashed out for moves like Swallow and Spit Up. Given Swalot is meant to be a bulky wall and Stockpile was added in Gen 3 I think that would fitting to have the new Snack ability passively add stock each turn if it has leftovers or a berry/consumable item rather than plain healing. Though that might also need to come with some buffs to the Stockpile mechanic in general like removing the restriction of only being able to have three stocks, having the defense buffs affect the mon's stats directly like Protosynthesis, or give them an added effect like being able to reduce the damage of a super effective attack by 25% at the cost of a stock for example.

[@motherlove8366]

Even with stockpile as is that sounds pretty op for an ability tbh, but I like the idea of making it smt tied to stockpile or even belch

[@Zorothegallade-gg7zg]

@@motherlove8366 How about making the ability immediately max out the Stockpile stocks when Swalot eats a berry? It would give a great emergency defense boost when using a pinch berry and lend itself to some great shenanigans with Recycle. That and/or put Pluck or Bug Bite in its movepool so that it can also trigger it by eating the opponent's berry

An idea for Absol could be a new ability I've called "Disaster sense". If it's about to faint from an attack, it senses the disaster and dodges the attack. Doubles it could dodge all attacks if its targeted multiple times but only after the would be killing blow, if the first one only brings it to low health it gets hit but dodges the second. Means you could guarantee a greedy swords dance or go for a spread move with your partner. Fits thematically

[@Kaiser25]

kinda like a reverse disguise

[@vernicimo]

Honestlly, this would be a better concept for a rework emergency exit

[@gruskujo]

Absol in lore tries to warn people against disasters, so what if we give it the signature ability "Disaster Warning": If the opposing Pokémon have a super effective move against the user or its partner when switched in, this pokemon and its partner gets their speed raised by one stage. This is maybe too broken. Maybe it's raised by two stages but only once per battle? I'm not sure

[@cosmicrefractions2834]

This just sounds like better Forewarning 😂😂 Unfortunate that ability sucks

[@Hairy_Butter]

Yo, this would actually be sick! Maybe have it activate once every time Absol is on the field? So you can switch into absol on a turn, have your partner Pokémon’s speed raised and move first, potentially. But if your opponent switches their Pokémon to one with another super effective attack, it doesn’t activate until absol switches out and then back in.

[@JoannaFalkowska]

100% broken, it's practically guaranteed, and speed is too precious. maybe if it was def/spdef, and only affecting Absol, that could be fine. also it's counterthematic to its identity as a physical attacker.

I really like Dizzy!

[@Zoxy146]

Aggron buffs: -New hidden abilitiy: Filter (replaces heavy weight) -New ability: Psammo Tactics, It makes the user recover 1/16 of it's hp while there's a sandstorm on the field, it also makes the user immune to sandstorm (replaces sturdy) -Take 31 from it's special attack to it's special defense, now it can outspeed torkoal in trick room and it's a little more bulky on the special side. -Give it leech life, drain punch or make a new 75 base power rock or steel type move that recovers 50% of the damage dealt.

[@brenoborba5433]

Its cool to see someone do reasonable buffs instead of going crazy and give 140 atk and speed to every pokemon and give them huge power because thats how most people do when they try to buff old pokemon

[@lewisspring35]

[@DJTileTurnip]

Giving Luvdisc Friend Guard is so tragic like imagine being friend-zoned by the literal love Pokemon 😭

[@fe_three_rosses]

it loves its friends! love doesn't always have to be romantic

[@GunnarClovis]

8:39 Potential thematic ability for Absol: *Disaster Sense:* _Disaster Sense_ raises the bearer's or ally's Evasiveness by one stage when they're targeted by an one-hit KO move or a move with base power 120 or above. As we all know per its Pokédex lore, Absol does not have bad luck or bring bad luck, but "It senses coming disasters and appears before people only to warn them of impending danger." "It was mistaken as a doom-bringer." So my thematic idea is that before Absol or its ally is hit by a strong move (120+ BP or OHKO), it raises its evasion (and/or its ally's evasion if the ally is being targeted) to try to dodge it because it senses it coming, so that 1 stage boost to evasion applies before the move is rolled to hit. Evasion strats are very rare in a viable form, only showing up with Articuno Snow Cloak and Garchomp Sand Veil, so I think would be really cool as a niche strategy while being super thematic to Absol's lore. You could play around it with auto-hit moves or using moves below 120 BP, which is pretty easy, but it offers a trade-off choice to the opponent, which I think is fun. In that respect, I don't think this is enough to sufficiently buff Absol on its own, but I don't want to make an evasion-raising ability too strong to prevent absurd cheese (especially if combined with Double Team... but also making Double Team viable _ever_ would be kind of neat). But you could argue it should trigger on attacks of 100+ BP instead of 120. Or it could work on super-effective moves instead. If someone is too offended by the idea of an evasion stage-raising ability, it could be Def/SpDef instead so it works like a sidegrade to Stamina (or add Speed or make it omniboost if you really want to buff Absol), but I think boosting evasiveness is more unique and thematically fitting. Other ideas to buff Absol besides another ability or just buffing stats... give it U-Turn, Extreme Speed, Trailblaze, and/or Wicked Blow (thematically explained as it sees the future a bit so it can always crit). More physical coverage, like Wild Charge, Head Smash, Flare Blitz, or maybe Brave Bird (Mega gets wings) would be good too; recoil moves I feel make sense for Absol because its lore is that it shows up to natural disasters, risking its own safety just to warn others, so recklessly hurting itself to fight for its friends also tracks. But seriously give it Extreme Speed; Absol just *_feels_* like a mon that should have Extreme Speed.

[@GunnarClovis]

Funny very niche side effect of this Disaster Sense ability would be you could use an OHKO move into your own Absol, trusting that you'll miss the 30% chance * 75% chance from Disaster Sense = 22.5% chance to hit. If Absol got off a Double Team first (or we buffed Disaster Sense to give two stages), then that'd be an 18% chance to knock out your own Absol in exchange for 2 stages of evasion... not worth it, but funny, so maybe Pimpnite or someone could do a video trying to get the strategy to work.

[@ThePika78]

7:35 I had a perfect buff for Castformed cooked the other day with a friend actually! First off, it gains its Rock Form from Sandstorm. Then we made it so Forecast now interacted with Terrains alongside Weather, making so Castform can become Weather/Terrain Type, if there is no Weather it stays Normal but with no Terrain it gets no type, gaining the move Terrain Pulse and perhaps another passive buff while under a weather, like Ice/Rock gaining 2x Def/Sp.Def respectively while under Sun/Rain the effect of moves he uses/receives are 1.5x more effective (basically making Fire or Water moves be 2x stronger/weaker depending on weather for it). It allows Casform be multiple types and flexible attacker of various types being able to hit with Normal, Water, Fire, Ice or Rock and Grass, Psychic, Fairy or Electric. Something else less extreme we cooked was making Forecast reset and/or extend the weather to 8 turns alongside transforming Castform.

[@bigmonke3348]

Another buff I think would be great is that making forecast activate weather as long as castform is holding a weather rock+its already existing effect of changing its form. That way dude can set any weather you want on switch in but is limited on what item it can use. An opponent changing the weather might cause it to receive stab weather ball and turn that against them.

[@kylogames107]

absol: change its hidden ability justified to a custom ability called "Harbinger" which makes it so that if absol's stats are lowered in any way, or it is afflicted with a status condition (including leech seed or sand tomb/fire spin) by a pokemon's move (no compatibility with toxic orb for balance) it afflicts that pokemon with a marker called "impending disaster" which is basically just perish song BUT said afflicted pokemon dies after 2 turns instead of 3 to make it more desirable. this basically gives it a good niche against stall pokemon that love afflicting status and sitting on the field while also enabling absol to pair nicely with defiant pokemon like kingambit or ogerpon grass in doubles

[@PheobosDraws]

funny to hear you bring up friendguard for luvdisc, Recently did deisgn an evo for it that did get friend guard too cus it just felt so thematically fitting Also for Aggron, I'd love to change its rock type to Dragon personally. With that, you could pair Dragon Dance to give it. If that wont work, giving it Filter on its base form would perhaps give it more of a fighting chance.

[@artimist0315]

Absol is a Pokémon that is supposed to warn its allies from disaster. My idea would give him an ability named "bad omen" that acts as a passive wide guard, where it prevent the use spread moves. Most spread moves have names and animations that looks like natural disasters, such as eruption, heat waves, bleakwind storm, glaciate, muddy water, twister, rock slide, surf or blizzard, and it would make complete sense for absol to be able to see them coming and avoid them. This would definitely give it a niche in VGC while still being relatively easy to work around, since you know, it's Absol, has a very poor bulk and isn't the fastest thing around. It would also create interesting dynamics where Pokémon such as Calyrex shadow would want it dead quickly, but attacking Absol could easily mean eating a 130 attack sucker punch.

[@Alt_Account_420]

I think giving Aggron Earth Eater would be fantastic cuz it would be, in a strange way, a different option for Tyranitar. Think about it! Aside from Aggron's stats being somewhat worse from T-tar now it could function a niche as a bulky attacker with good defenses all around in sand teams. It would have almost basically the same weakness as Tar but now it can switch in into friendly or enemy's Tantrums or Earthquakes with ease while also regaining HP, hell it could run even more recovery and be a proper tank

[@tburgess3426]

For Aggron my first thought was to give a unique ability that when it had a stat lowered, it's defense is raised by 1 stage. So say you get intimidated, he's now got immediate defense on top of his 180 base defense. Also prevents him from having his defense lowered by opponents. Play smart with your Terra, and you have a physical wall with access to Body Press and Metal Burst. Is it the greatest thing, no, but it has some reason for having some of the highest defenses in the game.

[@RicardoNecrofear]

09:03 NEW ABILITY: Super Alloy - All super effective moves against Aggron hit for neutral damage.

[@wally-tr9fj]

11:21 what about dizzy punch or vaccum wave? also just to give spinda extra help what if dizzy worked similar to wind rider, where it gets a boost to its speed, special and physical attack if any spinning move is used on the field. This would mean it wouldn't get a boost to its defenses, but it would be more versatile as it doesn't have to rely on those few moves, it could both boost by using spinning moves itself, or boost if an enemy happens to use a spinning move at all. This could make opponents wary of using spinning moves, even if spinda isn't on the field, as they would have to worry about you switching it in at the wrong time for them and getting a boost. This also makes it a good anti rapid spinner, as opponents wouldn't want to use rapid spin if you have a spinda, so you get to keep your hazards on the field. Tidy up could still work, but spinda can now threaten those pokemon with stronger vaccum waves and dizzy punches (im changing dizzy punch to a fighting move) as pretty much all of the tidy up pokemon are normal types.

I actually love the idea of giving Claydol Mind's Eye not just because its a psychic type with a lot of eyes but because its a weird old doll believed to be some sort of alien or spirit, and they're just mud come to life. These weird supernatural things aren't ghosts but they treat ghosts as though they were regular things because to whatever these weird creatures are, they might as well be. Psychic type Pokémon deserve to have as much weirdness about them as ghosts and fairies

[@matthewlasalvia7026]

I have an idea for Solrock and Lunatone evolutions that would really help them out. They would be based on the Japanese gods of the Sun and Moon respectively. The evolution of Solrock would be called Solterasu and be a Fire/Psychic type with a signature ability that would allow its Fire Type attacks to deal super effective damage to Water Types. It would also get a signature Fire Type physical spread attack called Sun Spear that would heal 25 percent of the damage done to the targets and have a 30 percent chance to Burn them. The evolution of Lunatone would be called Lunayomi and would be a Psychic/Fairy type with a signature ability that would allow its Fairy Type moves to deal super effective damage to Steel types. It would also get a signature Fairy Type special spread attack called Lunar Mirror that heals 25 percent of the damage done to the targets and has 30 percent chance to put them to Sleep. What do you think?

I really appreciate how your not afraid to buff stats. Because some pokemon really do just need a slight boost so they can properly fill the role they are already in. Some people are afraid of stat buffs because it's "too simple" but sometimes all you need is a simple buff.

[@VerbalLearning]

Another way to buff Spinda would be to lean into it's Confusion thematic. The "easy" way would be to give it a Confusion based version of Komala's Comatose ability, likely with some added benefits as i don't think being in a permanent state of confusion (without the actual drawback) has any useful applications unlike sleep. The more involved way would be to perhaps give spinda +2 priority on any move that causes confusion, this includes both status moves as well as attacks. Meaning Spinda would have +2 priority on Teeter Dance, Swagger, Dizzy Punch, Thrash etc. The reason for +2 is to differentiate it somewhat from Prankster, although with it also affecting some attacking moves perhaps +1 is enough idk but considering Spindas terrible stats i feel like +2 can be justified. This would maybe give it a niche as a support pokemon in doubles or as a revenge killer in singles? But like a very weak one.

[@notnath14]

One thing that sounds a little wack for Aggron but is a pretty nice boost to it is Grassy Surge. It provides more support to the team, reduces the power of stray EQs so that if someone wants to capitalize on its ground weakness they need to target it with a different move, and it provides some passive recovery to help it make better use of its bulk. It's not a massive change, and be it in singles or doubles doesn't make for the biggest of viability shifts, but it's a nice little boost without touching its stats (which aren't distributed optimally, but aren't inherently suboptimal).

[@michaelkarim57]

I think Dizzy might be a bit too game breaking, it might be fine if it was just the boost for Spinda, but the concern would be making that omniboost available to psych up mons. I could already see a Dizzy scarf teeter dance(or any spin move for flexibility) + Tera something good CalyS w/ lum berry and psyche up on turn 1 being utterly terrifying.

BUT we also rework rivalry (this would also help haxorus and others with the ability) the change would be so that the pokemon only recieves full damage from the pokemon they're targeting, otherwise, it recieves half the damage. to picture this change imma explain it in a battle scenario. in 2 vs 2 (vgc) aggron and grimmsnarl vs goldengho and rillaboom rillaboom is going to use fake out against grimmsnarl, gholdengo is going to use make it rain, aggron tarets rillaboom and grimmsnarl protects. because aggron targetted rillaboom, the rillaboom becomes aggron's rival and gholdengo's make it rain damage will be halved by the ability (this effect continues until the rillaboom is knocked out or switches out. if that happens, the next pokemon that he targets becomes the new rival). Heres the damage calc: 0hp, 0spd, AV, (the ability would be a +2spd +2def equivalent) aggron vs modest, choice specs, 252spa gholdengo make it rain is at max 52%. It doesn't even 2hko also aggron needs an attack stat buff 'cause while looking at some calcs aggron's damage was pitiful even with adamant 252 evs also also an idea for a new ability for pokemon who get screwed desensively by their typing is an ability that olty takes in mind the primary typing when getting hit. For example aggron keeps his rock stab but when getting hit the rock typing is ignored

[@OasisAipom]

I'm imagining a physically buff Spinda (chad), and it's terrifiying.

[@dvdv4270]

Potential moves that could fit the spin category(causing user to spin)(from more fitting to kinda stretching the line): -Mortal Spin(I know spinda doesn’t get it but if population bomb is boosted by sharpness so should mortal spin cause spin) -Spin Out -Triple axel(spin in ice skating) -Flame Wheel -Aura Wheel (Below these are more based on animation and may not be accurate according how the game describes it) -Darkest Lariat -Breaking Swipe -Brutal Swing -Sunsteel Strike -Topsy Turvy? -U-turn(although that’s more of a half spin and would also be pointless) -Flip Turn You could include all the Torque moves from the StarMobile and I guess many removed moves like rolling kick or steamroller although obviously those are inaccesible for players there non legal in any format(except perhaps hackmons but hats another rabbit whole)

[@dazdje]

For absol make the speed 100 AND give absol an ability called disaster, so that upon switchin, it sets up a 90 base power dark type physical version of future sight, which fits with the lore and theme of it. slap u-turn onto it and now we have a pokemon with a niche as a pivot that can both future sight and u-turn in one turn. As for aggron, give it sand rush and diamond storm.

[@-libertyprimev1-902]

Alternative ability for Swalot, Digestion "Once the Pokemon consumes its held Berry, it will regain its effect at the start of every turn for 5 turns." so like a guaranteed but limited Harvest. Since it gets the criminally underrated and limited move Stuffed Cheeks (immediately consume held Berry, gain its effects regardless of requirements, and gain +2 Defense) it could abuse Any Berry beyond just the Healing ones (which could also lead to insane stall) from Turn 1... This could make it a gimmicky Acupressure like setup abuser (but with more control and passive increases) along with Body Press using berries that could passively increase Defenses further (Ganlon Berry), or Custap for +1 Priority on every move (for 5 turns), Starf Berry for Moody but without the downsides, Lansat Berry for more Crit Rate I guess, then of course any of the HP restoring Berries for big stall alongside Protect if needed.

[@CaptainObliviousV]

I saw someone recommend a signature ability for Absol called “Bad Luck” that basically just made the opponent’s RNG worse in every possible way, but I think a more balanced and better to play against version of that concept would be to lower the general crit chance of the opponent’s moves and null the boost or guarantee some moves have to the chance. For instance, moves like Leaf Blade & Psycho Cut will now work off the normal rate, and Wicked Blow & Surging Strikes are no longer guaranteed and also work off of the normal rate. It’s sort of like a weaker Battle/Shell Armor, but with the benefit that it applies to all Pokémon on your side of the field. And it works with Absol’s lore too, with it being a herald warning of disaster that’s misunderstood, it’s “helping keep you out of harm’s way” while the opponent perceives it as Absol “brining misfortune upon them”.

[@elijahpark5344]

With Absol, its original Red and Blue entry talks about how "it is followed by a disaster such as an earthquake or a tidal wave". While the simple answer is to give it wave crash and earthquake, I propose we give it an ability called "Impending Doom". It would work like future sight on switch in with the same mechanics, except randomly selecting between earthquake and wave crash and without needing a turn to use. Either way, since both moves work on physical attack, it would give absol some unique offensive pressure without making it too busted and without changing its speed. With Aggron, just give it earth eater at this point. It has pokedex entries talking about how it eats mountains. If we want to talk about something unique for it, it could get an ability called "Steel Horn" that works like Iron Fist, except with "fist" moves, it's "horn" moves.

Honestly, give Luvdisc Wishiwashi's ability schooling with its "school form" being a see serpent that is composed a a bunch of luvdisc following each other in a line. Its new form would have : 43 HP 65 attack 120 defence 145 spe attack 140 spe defence 107 speed

[@davidtedesco6692]

I've though of another way to buff Castform: (GameFreak plz listen) Modify its ability Forecast so that when it's sent out it randomly starts rain, sun, hail, or sandstorm on the field and transforms to its respective form. Yes this means it will get a rock type form. This change is do to the 'unpredictability' of weather to an extent and makes Castform a big Wildcard to make things fun. I like the buff to the SpA you had as well.

[@-libertyprimev1-902]

Supposedly it'll never get a Sandstorm Form because Castform is more based around the cycles of Water caused by weather, not weather itself. So for a Sandstorm which has a distinct lack of water prsent it wouldn't make any thematic sense.

[@davidtedesco6692]

@@-libertyprimev1-902 Aw man, thats interesting to know though. Maybe they can just do a little theme change and base it off weather =], but then again it took them 20 years to give Dunsparce an evolution so this prob wont happen =P

[@andream8655]

These abilities are so cool!! Knowing your friend helped you make them makes it apparent how much thought was put into this!

[@castform7]

I think you definitely did a good job with Spinda. It technically should be at its best spinning around plus its stats would still be pretty poultry. Also liked the Castform buff. It probably still gets outshined but at least it would be brought up for a weather team set instead of an immediate no.

[@Kaiser25]

A way to change up absol and still be thematic with the whole disaster sensing thing would be an ability that procs when he enters the field and if an opponent has a super effective move against absol, it disables it, only working against one of the opponents mon and prioritizng the highest bp move

[@jjtheenton]

An idea for Aggron is to give it a new ability called Impenetrable. The user takes 50% less damage from all super-effective attacks. This would bring its crippling ×4 weaknesses down to ×2 and completely remove its standard weaknesses. Yes, it's just a better Filter.

[@JFain513]

[@sylvrwolflol]

Give Absol perish song and an ability which combines shadow tag with an instant kill immunity (whether from guaranteed ohko moves or things like destiny bond or perish song). Then buff its HP stat by like 70. It'll be a gimmick through and through, but it'll be an absolutely evil one that's thematically accurate.

[@torbb6307]

Little further with your spinda idea: "Everytime any pokemon spins, spinda also spins. With every spin spindas stats raise by 1, but have a 10% chance to confuse spinda."

[@minicooper1293]

[@JDPearce]

Give aggron an ability called hardened armour were it turns his quad weaknesses to 2x, 2x into neutral and everything else just becomes resisted, basically making his only weakness fighting and ground.

[@melonstorm5824]

8:41 my idea for absol is give it a ability called bad fortune and the idea behind it is that when on the field every mon except dark types are subjected to a higher chance of misfortune such as: being hit more often, an increased chance to be crit, an 2x increase from being inflicted by a secondary effect and lastly a higher chance to lose a speed tie/if the opponent with the speed tie is dark then they automatically win the speed tie. This sounds broken but keep in mind absol is really frail so absol could be killed before the misfortune gets out of hand

[@gabrielchee8470]

An idea for absol is a tweaked forewarn/anticipation where absol can use it's ability to alert its ally to a oncoming SE attack , so the ally would gain the filter abilities effect when tanking the Super effective hit. Aggron maybe it's ability should be some reskin of solid rock

[@skyeblu3178]

[@nuclearpzn]

I had the exact same idea for the Forecast buff that I thought of like 2 months ago. It makes so much sense. Hope they do it in a future game.

[@devinnall2284]

I'd give Aggron an ability called Tempered Steel which would basically just be Well-Baked Body it gives Aggron an extremely useful immunity to fire while doubling it's already monstrous defense which would let it not be instantly killed by quad effective ground and fighting moves and I don't think this would be overpowered since Aggron doesn't have consistent healing along with mediocre hp and special defense

[@17milimetros]

Aggron: Give it the ability "Earth Eater" This is the pokedex entry in a few games, "While seeking iron for food, it digs tunnels by breaking through bedrock with its steel horns." You could also turn him into a pseudo legendary, as I'm pretty sure 95% of us thought he was until we discovered smogon. 530bst -> 600bst HP: 70 -> 90 Attack: 110 -> 115 Defense: 180 -> 200 Sp. Atk: 60 Sp. Def: 60 -> 80 Speed: 50 -> 55

[@luckytheabsol9279]

Reasonable Absol Buff ideas from a guy who has been an absol for like 10 years now. Absol - Dark / Fairy (Fairy is a very fitting type as Absol has a lot of fae elements with its premonitions and role of trying to help people but getting blamed for it) Buff its special attack to 110 and buff its speed to 100. Replace pressure with super luck, replace super luck with sharpness, and replace justified with “Premonition” which is just retextured Neuroforce. The idea is that by predicting the future, Absol makes the best attack against the enemy which inflicts even greater damage. Give it all the non-signature slicing moves and all “disaster” related moves like Earthquake and Eruption. Finally, give it close combat, moonblast, nasty plot, and doom desire. I think the idea of Absol being super unpredictable and having the option of going pure physical, special, or mixed and still dishing out damage. With these changes, Absol becomes an insanely high risk high reward Pokemon with niches in both singles and vgc with its insane damage output and reward for good predictions but still not broken. Due to open team sheets, you’ll lose a ton of power due to your opponents knowing your set but with doom desire, you have a good punish to make up for it.

[@Metazoa54321]

An alternative i thought of for Castform was "Changes form AND sets weather based on moveset", so like if it had Solarbeam and Fireblast, it would set sun when it came in, and so on. For Absol, since its whole thing is predicting disasters, how about an ability that drastically increases its evasiveness on the turn it switches in, sorta like an inverse Stakeout? Theres a lot of mention of Aggron making a mountain its home and eating rocks, so the best thing i could think of for it is either Earth Eater as an ability OR Stone Axe to put up Stealth Rock, which makes sense, somehow, I'm sure.

[@Prince_Echo]

Thoughts on absol, make it a special attacker since it already has SO MANY special moves(thunder, blizzard, dark pulse, flamethrower, icy wind, snarl, etc). Like swap the SPatk and ATK stats. And maybe give it some extra bulk, then give it an ability wherein when a move affected by weather(accuracy buffs for thunder, the genie winds, blizzard, etc or dmg buffs from rain or fire boosted moves or weather ball, et ) lands, it reduces the damage both it and it partner take by 30%. Give it upperhand and fake out to both deal with priority and flinch a dangerous enemy. The reason i think this would work is despite the only stat i change being special attack, it would fit into its original theme of trying to prevent catastrophe while also still utilizing its movepool more effectively to counter weather teams. Maybe instead its ability could be while weather is active reduce dmg taken on your side by 15-25% always, so its less niche of a dmg reduction. Thoughts?

[@overlordpichu5577]

im not much for competitive pokemon but uh aggron: one of the big things aggron is suppose to do as a pokemon is that it takes over a mountain as its territory, and then both fiercely defends it from any challengers but also will repair any environmental damage that happens to its territory like floods or fires, even planting trees afterwards. giving it moves that helps it act as a counter to terrain or weather might not be a bad niche to slot it in regarding utility. if that makes sense. after that you'd either need an ability that helps increase its survivability [ironically filter would be really helpful in that regard] or gels with its new niche i suppose. absol: absols whole shtick as a pokemon is that it can see the future through its horn and often gets mistaken as the cause of calamity. im not sure how much utility anticipation has in competitive, but it would be thematic to have as an ability. if we were to give it a unique one though i can think of two possible directions. an ability that always allows absol to avoid all two turn moves as representative of its ability to predict danger. or its reputation as a dark omen that lowers a stat, say its speed, by one stage upon entering the field.

[@NM_Mattuz]

I love how it plays Dizzy's theme when he name drops his new Spinda ability.

[@theroyaldrake0514]

Aggron is one of my favorites. So, my first bit is giving it a new Hidden Ability, as Aggron is the heaviest Heavy Metal user, and frankly does not need it. In it's place Aggron gains Mountaineer, which I have three ideas for: Reduces damage from Water, Ice, Rock and Ground moves and grants stat boosts when hit by them (preferably Sp. Def or Spd). Grants a boost (like Protosynthesis does) to a user's stats in Sandstorm (maybe mix it up and do it for the low stats? Maybe not). Grants priority to moves used by the user if the user has been hit by Water, Fire, Ground or Steel moves (based off some Aggron 'dex entries). In addition, it gains a move that should be available to several other Pokemon, called Mould Earth, a 90 Power Physical Steel move with 90 accuracy and 15 PP. On hit, it has a 30% chance to raise the user's defensive stats by 1 stage, or slow the foe by 2 stages, or set up Stealth Rock for 3 turns. Take your pick. It's description would read as follows: The user roughly moulds the terrain around it to it's needs. It may raise the user's Defense and Special Defense/may sharply lower foe's Speed/lays a trap of levitating stones which damages foes that switch into battle.

[@jacobwallace2920]

Tropius needs a signature move called "that's bananas" where all pokemon on the field turn to a banana

[@MaxV_GC]

9:03 I have a cool little ability idea. I call it Refined Metal. Essentially, Aggron’s defensive properties are as if he is monotype Steel, but he still gets rock stab and sandstorm buffs.

[@dagbanna4055]

My proposed buffs: Absol: I have two ideas here, both based on its lore. Since in it's lore it's known to be able to sense omens, I propose a new ability! Disaster: After ANY damaging move done, the opponent will take 1/8th of their health (or 1/16th in doubles as it'll spread to both opponents) as damage. This is to fall in line as Absol "bringing a disaster" with it that the opponent can't avoid. Also, I would have this ability work Even if the opponent protects since it's meant to be an unavoidable natural disaster. The second concept is not as interesting imo but it does involve giving it a unique signature move: Crescent Slice, 70 BP, Dark type move with 50% chance to crit, combine with Super Luck and Scope Lens to have a dark type stab crit machine which is very unlucky for the opponent, hence "a disaster" Aggron: This one will be a little out of left field but hear me out- Aggron has a TON of random coverage because it's akin to a kaiju/dragon even though it's a Rock/Steel type, so I think it could be valid to lean into this bulky coverage monster concept over just making it tankier because for a mega tank you already have mega aggron (though base aggron should get filter) So! I propose a new ability again: Overwhelming. This ability will give a 20% damage boost to all non STAB moves, and have ALL moves come off of the higher offensive stat. As a drawback, however, the user will take a 10% hp penalty each turn (Life Orb Recoil). I think this could re-invent Aggron in a unique way to differentiate it from Stakataka, letting it use its older Rock Head sets while finding a way to make use of its massive coverage. It'll basically be a super deadly kaiju with massive bulk that will burn hard but burn out fast.

[@pokeperson1000]

Considering how slow Aggron is… maybe give it a gimmick custom ability? From the moment it is sent out until the moment it makes its first move, all physical attacks used against it are treated as normal type attacks. Basically just “Give Aggron a chance to do *_something,_* whatever that might be” So if you pivot against a physical attacker, you quad resist the hit, and if they are faster than you, you resist the subsequent hit as well. But after you use any move, all moves go back to regular type effectiveness. Only applying this to physical attacks is an attempt to not just make Aggron a free switch in all situations. And having it go away immediately after using a move is to make sure Aggron can actually do something after switching in, and your opponent’s physical attacker could do one of three things: 1. Take the opportunity to use a setup/status move to wait out the turn of guaranteed quad resistance while still doing something somewhat meaningful. 2. Switch out. 3. Just hit Aggron and wait out the ability’s duration. And if the opponent is scarfed or banded, option 1 won’t really be available.

[@setuna2536]

I’ve always thought a good buff to Absol would be to give it a physical dark version of future sight. It fits thematically being it can sense disaster and warns about it. Maybe in singles people would run bulky assault vest Absol?

[@echo5172]

If Darkest Lariat was undexited, I could see it being given to Spinda as a great 'Spin move'

[@mohbius2]

For Spinda my buff idea was a new ability that gives priority to all dance moves, similar to blade and sound moves or spin moves like you suggested in the video. Priority teeter dance or dragon dance. Obviously you’d have to give spinda access to all these moves but it could be a fun gimmick to pair with oricorio.

[@jesuisunstroopwafel]

About the Curse status, it was balanced out by the fact it was limited to Ghost-types using the move of the same name, and that move cuts their HP, and these Pokémon also have no reliable healing mobe other than Rest or sometimes Pain Split.

[@Adir-Yosef]

suggestions for Aggron and Absol. Aggron: give it dragon dance as an egg move from Tyrantrum and Garchomp allowing it to become a setup user, give it mega horn as well (because it's horns canonically are there to dig bedrock), in addition add a new move for a steel type head smash (let's call it steel slam) lastly replace heavy metal with earth eater giving Aggron reliable recovery (something it could use as a "bulky" mon) while taking away one of it's main problems in ground moves. we now have a setup use with high damage coverage possibilities for rock, ground, normal, dragon, bug, fighting and steel. rock head will also be getting better value out of steel slam, and the possibility to go trick room with the move curse. it will never be as good as Stakataka in much due to it being slower, bulkier and stronger with a side grade of a move pool, but now it can be viable of outclass the thing in being quicker outside of trick room, the attack increase from DD is also good because it could now surpass Stakataka's attack (if it doesn't get an attack boost from beast boost) absol: make this mon a frail crit mon like they wanted, farther increasing it's already still high attack of 130 by ignoring defense. at best case scenario give it 15 points in speed (but a down the middle option would be like 5 or 10 points in speed) as for new moves, acrobatics and agility should be given in order to show that it's suppose to be fast (for evading natural disasters), cross chop, drill run and night slash for reliable crit based attacks, buff X-scissors to have a higher crit rate. Absol is one of few that can get a 100% crit rate, with these buffs i can see banded sets going away entirely in favor of three crit moves (most likely cross chop, drill run and night slash) plus either swords dance or agility depending on if the player want Absol to be faster or stronger.

[@Jlaps941]

With Spinda’s main gimmick being its BST being 360, GF could pull a SECOND gimmick with its BST and give Spinda an evolution that gives it a BST of 540, letting Spinda “do a 180”and turn its life around, adding 180 to its BST. They could also give it Inner Focus as an ability to thematically show it got its stuff together, being generally useful too avoiding flinches and Intimidate

[@naganut9718]

[@jabarithegoldenlucario8841]

[@hillrp1]

Ability Idea for Absol: I warned you: "If an enemy pokemon switches out, they take 12.5% of their max HP as damage" The lore says it's constantly trying to warn people of disasters, but people always run away from it, so in this if they run away from it's warning, they run into some sort of trouble. And with no more pursuit it feels like this pursuit adjacent ability could let it have an impact in battle. Maybe if you gave it more speed, then a choice band set could be threatening enough that the opponent still wants to swap out For Aggron, what about a signature move like belly drum, but instead of maxing out attack, it maxes out defense. Allows it to use body press to sweep, but with 2 quad weaknesses combined with low speed and middling at best special bulk, it shouldn't be broken. Could give it a niche in a team built around supporting it with follow me/heal pulse to keep it alive. And now it's different from Stakataka by the threat of the immediate boost as opposed to needing to get a few KOs to reach similar levels

[@Jasonwolf1495]

Absol unique ability that has to do with its disaster sense. It's wild that it has such a wild and unique lore, but doesn't have a mechanic for it. I present: Imminent Doom. When Absol enters the field it fortells of Imminent Doom. In X number of turns everyone on the field by Absol takes damage. Essentially switching they use future sight.

[@McDoubleFunny]

For the case of Spinda, I had the idea a couple years ago when making a rom hack of black/white 2, of developing a new ability for Spinda where when active there is always a 30% chance at the end of each turn of confusing every other pokemon on the field. So in singles this would only be the opposing pokemon, but in doubles you'd risk your ally getting confused too, but then you could run some unique strategies like pairing it with a own tempo pokemon. 30% chance at the end of each turn for Spinda just existing sounded like a good buff to me back then. And naturally I increased its stats too (before realizing they perfectly rounded up to 360), but I think I like your buffs to Spinda more now. I haven't thought about that pokemon in years haha, it's sadly so irrelevant. As far as Aggron goes, I'd first simply give it the hidden ability Filter over Heavy Metal, just like its Mega Evolution. Now naturally its still gonna probably get one shot by a fighting or ground move because Filter is only reducing its damage taken from 4x to 3.5x which is still a LOT, but at least physical moves it might survive. Special moves, Filter doesn't really make a difference. Ironically, Aggron actually has an amazing special move pool. Ice beam, dragon pulse, flamethrower, thunderbolt, surf, dark pulse. Why does it get all this!? Not even back in Gen 3 does it make sense, because those were all special types and Aggron's SpA is a pathetic 60... Without buffing his SpA, which would just be weird, I think another cool buff would to give Aggron Power Trick. Suddenly Aggron can go from being a physical wall to a special wall in one move. (110 Atk/180 Def would swap and become 110SpA/180SpD at the risk of now having horribly physical defense) Albeit, he's slow as shit so it really isn't that much of a buff...but maybe you could find a trick room team for him. I don't think these two things are the buffs he needs to be that much better, but it would make him unique, and I'd prefer keeping a shitmon shit as long as it's got some original strategies about it. As of right now, Aggron is super irrelevant and boring without his Mega. And if anyone thinks giving Aggron Power Trick doesn't thematically make sense, Forretress gets the move...whom is a very similar pokemon, so there's that.

[@tarasRinakushisu]

[@johnpaulcross424]

I would give absol sharpness and give it access to more slashing moves, and give it a signature move: ominous cleave would be a 40 base power dark type slashing move with +1 priority, and would give the target -1 on its strongest offensive stat. This could give absol some utility in chipping away at big targets while reducing their effectiveness on the field.

[@jamisonm7673]

Maybe this is crazy, but I think something cool for Aggron could be a new ability I’m calling “bastion”. It would passively redirect all moves that are super effective on Aggron to it, but with the added bonus that if it takes a super effective hit, it gets +1 to its Attack, Defense, and Special Defense. Maybe it could also have a “sturdy” effect but only for super effective hits just to make sure it’s alright after

[@lancelotdegraaf3944]

For aggron, i have 2 buffs in mind. First, aggron is always written as being a mountain mover, so he should get stamina. Second, and this is more a rock type boosts, they should make a recovery move for rocktypes that gives a sp def boosts when used in sandstorm. This way, you can give sand teams a reason to use rocktypes (i mostly see people use grounds and steels), but they shouldn't give it to t-tar and gigalith as those 2 would become broken.
