[@StickMaster500]

I could definitely see the Creation Trio having some busted abilities if their Origin Forms or even another set of forms that are on the same level of Arceus. Dialga could have an ability similar to your idea but after every turn, a second turn passes that affects everyone on the field that includes weather and terrain effects, damage over time and of course making recharge moves make it seem like they don’t recharge. Palkia could have an ability where it could make all moves accurate/hit both opponents but it could also make all moves used in succession give an increase crit chance making Spacial Rend more deadlier. And Giratina could have an ability to give all moves the Contrary effect to reference the Distortion World reversing everything.

[@turtlenator6249]

[@apurvpimple6871]

Hey! This is a new ability I came up with for Dialga I’m calling it Temporal Loop. Here’s how it works: When Dialga’s HP drops below 50% from an opponent’s attack, Temporal Loop activates, and it resets Dialga back to the state it was in at the start of the battle. This means: • Full HP recovery • All status conditions like burn, paralysis, or confusion are removed • Stat changes (positive or negative) are reset to neutral It’s like Dialga rewinds time to when the fight began! However, any boosts Dialga gained from moves like Agility or Bulk Up will also be erased, so players need to plan carefully when relying on setup strategies. Once Temporal Loop activates, Dialga’s Dragon- and Steel-type moves get a 20% power boost for the rest of the battle. But there’s a catch-the HP drop must come from an opponent’s attack. If Dialga’s HP drops below 50% from moves like Substitute or Belly Drum, the ability won’t trigger. Also, it only activates once per battle-so use it wisely! Finally, Temporal Loop is exclusive to Dialga. It can’t be copied by abilities like Doodle, Entrainment, Role Play, or Skill Swap. The only way for another Pokémon to gain this ability is by transforming into Dialga with Mew or Ditto.

[@alancervantes3466]

Maybe lunar veil could have reduced the damage done to sleeping allies! That and prevent Darkrai’s Bad Dreams ability from affecting them

[@umwha]

Yes and Heal them while they sleep. Considering sleep is a very rare condition , especially on allies, making Cresselia have an ability that heals sleeping Allys, negates bad dreams, and boosts their defense while sleeping will be acceptable power wise

[@amberukiseve]

I always hated Dialga's ROAR OF TIME being a simple Lazer beam, so my fan move idea was IT ROARS, and an image of the opponent being hit stun fades backwards, and at the beginning of the next turn, the image fades back, sliding backwards from the front, smacking into the opponent in the face dealing full damage, never misses, and even if they switch out, the damage is locked. The moment they swap in, they suffer the full damage. No idea if it should be kept 150, but to avoid spam, it can use Gigaton Hammer's thing of being unusable next turn, but you aren't stuck doing nothing for one turn

[@ax12h]

Honestly for Giratina i would give it an ability named "Distortion Field", basically when Giratina is sent out in the battle the field gets distorted and for 5 turns all the type compatibilities are inverted (for example water is now not very effective on fire and fire is super effective on water) and all the stat changes are inverted (Swords Dance would lower ur attack instead of increasing it), if Giratina is holding the Griseous Orb then Distortion Field will last 7 turns

[@kwdgolden2716]

7:35 Shadow Aura: The Pokemon summons a veil of shadows that protect it of any form of indirect damage (wheather, field traps, status problems). Also, gives it ground immunity. The ability is a reference to their battle in Legends Arceus (in which Giratina is surounded in a dark aura, that has a similar effect) and their first aparence back in pokemon platinum (in which it's all covered in darkness). The ground inmunity part it's because Giratina can fly in their both forms.

[@grunkleg.2934]

Time Control seems far more situational an ability than Space Control. Making every move in Doubles deal spread damage is game changing plus having perfectly accurate Hydro Pumps and Blizzards at no cost is a bit much. Whereas Time Control only affects a few moves in the game and nerfs their power at that. Maybe something like dealing damage based on the field's state on the prior turn could be interesting. Like the recoil from Draco Meteor wouldn't be taken into account the following turn, since on the prior turn Dialga had no stat drops. All 3 forms of Necrozma REALLY love Prism Armor already, and healing from light-based attacks is way more situational. Eternatus also makes good use of Pressure when it wants to run bulky Cosmic Power + Dmax Cannon + Meteor Beam + Recover movesets. Kyurem's Absolute Zero I also think would be a strict nerf to it, since Water attacks go from being resisted to neutral on it, while Pressure can help it cheese things with low PP moves.

Magic Room on send out (Magic Room permanent while Palkia remains out. plus protection from the negative effects, so Palkia’s held items continue to work normally) Giratina = Dimensional Restoration. clears weathers, terrain, & Magic Room / Trick Room when sent out Giratina origin form = Dimensional Twister. summons random weather & terrain, and changes every turn. Giratina Hidden Ability = Dark Matter Effect. Reverse the calculations in damage of attacks that depend on a Pokémon size, weight, and other states. ( Heavy Slam does more damage the lighter weight you are. Electro ball does more damage the slower you are compared to your opponent. Low Kick does more damage to a Pokémon that are lighter. Foul Play does more damage to the opponent, the lower their attack.) effects of the ability applies to all Pokémon in battle. Darkrai hidden ability = Lucid Dreaming. when it enters battle, the opponent’s Pokémon have their ability changed to Drowsy. meaning that moves Dream Eater & Nightmare work on them without having the Sleep status. Heatran = Iron Core Gravity. When it enters battle, an automatic Gravity effect. ground type attacks, now affect flying types and levitate. and double the damage taken from stealth rock and spikes. Also in double bottles, it draws all physical attacks from the opponents Pokémon too target Heatran. Suicune = purifying winds = when it uses a water type attack. it heals itself and the opponents target Pokémon from all status conditions. then heals it’s own HP 1/2 of the damage dealt to the opponent Pokémon. Sucune hidden ability = rising currents. When it enters battle, it summons Wet Terrain. weakens the power of fire moves by 10% and turns normal type attacks into water. Entei = Tower Burner. when it enters battle, it burns all other Pokémon. And all of its damaging attacks have a 100% chance to burn. Entai hidden ability = volcanic bark. When it enters battle it summons Burning Terrain. boosts the power of all fire type attacks by 30% and burns all Pokémon, except for fire Pokémon when they switch into battle. Raiku = Tower Striker. All of its electric type attacks, always have priority usually goes first, never mess, and ignores the effects of protect, substitute, light screen, and reflect. Raiku hidden ability = summons electric terrain when it enters battle. (New too electric terrain, in addition to its old effect, any attack that has a chance to cause paralysis. now has the odds to cause paralysis increased to 50%.)

I think that reshiram and zekrom's abilities are great, ignoring abilities is a niche that really add to the reasons to use them over other ubers.

I'd give Giratina the ability Wonder Guard, or a variation called "Annihilate". Based on the concept of annihilation in physics, in which antimatter and matter cancel each other out. In this case, since supereffective types are sometimes based on opposites (like Water > Fire > Ice), Giratina's antimatter properties make it so that it can only be "destroyed" by the opposite properties. Alternatively (to make it less broken), the ability could instead be something like "Antimatter Armor", which makes it only immune to supereffective hits (the ability works like a protective shield surrounding Giratina)

[@justarandomguyonnews]

For Giratina Shadows Meld should be it's passive. What it does is it reflects back ghost and dark type move with twice the power back to it's sender when Giratina is in Origin Form.

[@tdawgmaster1729]

I had a couple ideas for new signature abilities for Dialga, Palkia, Giratina, and Arceus a few weeks ago, and they're pretty broken, so this is a good place to put them for the world to see my maniacal side. Dialga: Time Skip: Ally pokemon's moves do not require charge or recharge turns. Negates ally pokemon's Slow Start/Truant abilities. Palkia: Space Warp: Ally pokemon's moves always hit their target, even during the semi-invulnerable turn of moves such as Dig, Fly, Dive, etc, except Shadow Force used by Giratina. Giratina: Rage Boost: When Giratina takes damage of any kind (passive or direct), increase two random stats by one stage, except evasion (can roll the same stat twice, in which case it increases by +2). Giratina is immune to sleep, paralysis, burn, freeze, poison/toxic poison, and confusion statuses. Arceus: Omnitype: Arceus' defensive type and Judgement match held plate or Z-crystal. Arceus gets STAB on ALL moves, double STAB if it matches its plate or tera type, and triple stab if terastalized into the same type as the held plate. Terastalizing adds to Arceus' existing type instead of replacing it if differing from the held plate. I know they'd probably all get insta-banned to AG if they got these, but they're literal gods, so they should be busted. "Ally pokemon" refers to both user and ally(s). None of these abilities can be copied, swapped, overwritten, or negated by things such as Trace, Skill Swap, Entrainment, Neutralizing Gas, Gastro Acid, etc.

[@Dusxio]

Another 'broken' but fitting direction to take Light Reflection would be that they can't be targeted by single target attacks unto they are hit or hit the opponent. Could have an entry message like 'Latias/os is hidden from view!' and a follow up 'Latias/os has appeared!' A cheaper way is just giving the, +1 or +2 evasion. Still fits, but might be more 'Annoying bastard' than 'Broken'

[@jmurray1110]

To me a giratina signature ability could be pretty interesting concept My first idea is something I would call distorted just Essentially it’s a set up/set up move like sunny day or trick room Essentially my idea is that when it enters battle a mist surrounds the battlefield that causes stat related moves to distort and become the opposite of what would burn all happen as if everyone had contrary Essentially moves like dragon dance would lower stats and super power would raise them and you would need to balance your team to ensure you don’t either debuff yourself or buff your enemies Could really help with kind games as the opponent can’t just set up a dragon dance or swords dance when they read a switch

[@brandondawson4086]

Awesome job on the new video JPR. I got you on ideas for a couple of these legendaries. LUGIA -STORMBRINGER: Upon switching into battle, its powerful wings flap to set up Tailwind. Also gains a 20% Boost in Power to Aeroblast! GIRITINA -DISTORTION: Upon switching in, it's very presence Alters reality & turns the battle into an inverse battle. VIRIZION,TERAKKION,& COBALION -SWORD OF JUSTICE: if the Pokemon with this ability switches in immediately after a Cobalion, Terakkion, or Virizion is knocked out, the Pokemon games and omniboost( activates only once a battle) HO-OH -RAINBOW ASH: upon being knocked out, select one of your Pokemon that has already fainted, that Pokemon gets sent back into battle with 50% of its total HP restored(occurs once a Battle)

Hot take: Teravolt and Turboblaze should work like Fairy and Dark Aura and vice versa.

I've been thinking about this a lot, and I had similar ideas for Dialga and Palkia.

Regigigas getting a free Choice Band and Scarf through its ability would be insane obviously, but given that it'd need to burn five turns before getting there I feel it'd be pretty balanced

Doing so would activate a "Distorted Terrain" on the field, which nullifies the effects of Palkia and Dialga's own abilities. Giratina's Pokedex entries all pretty much say the same thing about it being banished for its violence, and the Distortion World being a place where common knowledge is distorted, so if you wanted to lean more into a lore-accurate ability, you could have the Distorted Terrain apply some other kind of effect, like changing the effects of status moves or something. Someone else in the comments mentioned Giratina changing the battle to an inverse battle, which would also be pretty cool, but I'm not an expert on competitive and feel like having one Pokemon that can completely change the format of a battle would be too broken and make competitive battling a complete nightmare. On the violence side of things, another possible ability for Giratina would be an ability called "Ruthless Spirit" or something along those lines, which would allow Giratina's ghost type attacks to always hit an opponent regardless of any typing, ability, evasion/accuracy or protection. You could probably take it a step further by making ghost type moves ignore resistances as well, or have them get a buff when the ability activates, but that would really be up to how overpowered you want to make it. Shadow Force could probably be slightly adjusted to account for this ability as well.

[@Rokses2]

For giritina I thought of an ability named "corrupted presence" where while giritina is on the field light based moves don't work. Like dazzling gleam, moonlight and sunlight, solar beam, flash cannon, ext.

Well that's some broken abilities, but with the actual powercreep, that's fine. Considering the creation trio are litterally Gods, that makes sense. And Arceus... well it's the god of gods. Also that's true Kyurem needs to be better. Perhaps we'll get the original dragon one day. I would have liked to see your buff for Zekrom and Reshiram, though !

I think Giratina's ability should be something called "Antimatter Armor" to fit its physiology being an opposite dimension god. IDK what it's effect should be; either takes half damage from special attacks (sorta like Fur Coat but not physical) or makes it resistant to its own types which it's normally weak against.

[@thedarkesper5290]

I like the idea that Dragon and Ghost type moves used against it effect the attacker as well. Like an auto-counter.

[@aldoushuxley5953]

Dialga should set up trick room when switching in, and Palkia Gravity

[@nintenjoe62]

I love the concept of new lore-themed abilities for Legendary Pokémon! I had a similar idea for Dialga and Palkia where they each control time and space. Each would be accompanied with a new signature move (for their secondary types) that would take advantage of the ability. For Dialga, this would be "Temporal Aberration" which is pretty much a Power Herb for everyone on the field and skips recharge. Likewise, Palkia would have "Interstellar Abeyance" which makes the effects of Gravity permanent. With Giratina, I had a hard time creating an ability that made sense for it. Shadow Shield would make its Altered Form truly unkillable and I would love to see it. After doing some research on antimatter, I came up with the aptly named "Antimatter" which is Contrary for everyone. This would be a double-edged sword but it goes along with everything being inverted. I want Regigigas to finally escape from the depths and receive a new ability titled "Regis Mode." This would give it both an offensive and defensive boost. This would slightly boost the power of its Rock, Ice, Steel, Electric, and Dragon moves while also reducing damage received by said types. For Zekrom and Reshiram I went a bit overboard and borrowed from Miraidon and Koraidon by buffing their abilities to mimic the effects of Hadron Engine and Orichalcum Pulse but increasing Attack and Special Attack respectively. Yeah...these two would be a problem.

[@pixelpiekser]

I came back to this Video 6 Months later to show off the Abilities I came up with. Ho-Oh: Color Trail Effect: Whenever Ho-Oh is switched into the Battle Field, a Rainbow appears for 5 Turns. (Rainbows are already a Thing in Pokémon although you can only ever summon one if you combine Fire Pledge with Water Pledge. They basically have the same Effect as Serene Grace which fits perfectly with Ho-Ohs Dex Entries in which it is said to give Eternal Luck.) Lugia: Storm Wings Effect: Whenever Lugia is switched into the Battle Field, Tailwind begins to blow for 5 Turns. Groudon: Landslide Effect: Summons a Terrain for 5 Turns that boosts Ground Type Attacks. In this Terrain, the Power of Electric Attacks is reduced. (I was really in Love with the Fact that Koraidon and Miraidon can battle together and against each other while their Ability Effects are on at the same Type. Thus I decided to give Groudon a Terrain Effect as Land doesn't really have something to do with the Sun. With this, Kyogre's Drizzle and Groudons Landslide can be active at the same Time and Air Lock finally has a Reason to get buffed so it does more than the Cloud Nine of a Psyduck. It now clears Terrains aswell. Drought would still be Groudons Main Ability but Landslide would be the Hidden Ability.)

Giritina: Gravity Control sets up trickroom

[@BurakkuHishou]

What about this for Dialga and palkia: Palkia: Spatial Anomaly - Reverses the condition of all moves types. All special attacks become physical, and physical moves become special. Move's like Psychic are affected by abilities such as poison point, rough skin, etc. and work off of the pokemon's attack stat, and vice versa. Dialga: Sands of Time - When Dialga is switched into battle, it can negate the opponents move for that turn. (It's essentially a safe switch in). Other ideas i had for Dialga but i couldn't balance properly: Time Travel - Roar of Time's charge up phase can send a move into the future that will hit in 2-5 turns (like future sight but for an entire attack). Time Distortion - Every other turn it can either use a randomly selected move used previously in battle, or attack a second time in the same turn.

[@keyonj8815]

How about giving giratina the ability to set gravity because gravity is what bends both time amd space and the destortion world has very warped gravity.

[@mazharsiddiqi7288]

What would Gravity do? My guess would be reduce speed and maybe increase weight for damage done by Low Kick and like moves that target weight Maybe cancel Levitate and Ground immunity of Flying types by grounding them as well as Magnet Rise

For Giratina how about an ability that makes Weather and Status Conditions Effects be Reversed while on Field, So Burn and Poison Would Heal and Burn gives Atk buff, Para would give Speed Buff, Sun and Rain would Lower dmg of moves and Sandstorm heals while Snow and sandstorm would give Defense down buffs to Ice and Rocks types Just Call it Distortion Control or Avatar of Chaos XD (maybe Avatar of Space/Time would be better name for Dialga and Palkia ability?)

[@matthewsimpson5529]

Giratina - Distortion Field: All attacks based on speed or weight do the minimum amount of damage when used on Giratina or it's allies. Dialga Origin: Temporal Crush: Time based moves regain their drawbacks and lose a small amount of accuracy, but gain a 50% boost in power. Palkia Origin: Spatial Focus: All spread moves used against Palkia's team only hit Palkia, and all the opponents moves lose some accuracy. Giratina Origin: All weight and speed based moves used by Giratina and it's teammates always do the maximum amount of damage.

Giratina: distorted portals: what it does is, every ghost type attack from giratina or one of its allies use always hit first, and, when giratina uses a ghost type attack it’ll take them into the distorted world that kinda works like sturdy for giratina, and it can’t be one shot, the distorted world boosts all ghost type attacks and it goes away when giratina gets hit ( it also boosts giratina’s dodge rate by 10% )

Slow start could boost regigigas Atk and speed by 50% if he stays on the field for 1-2 turns but still keeps his lessened atk and speed for the first turn he’s out. Or they could make so that after 2-3 turns pass total with him on the field (regardless of switching out he gets the boost)

[@barstool9156]

I think The weather Trio could do with revamped abilities (or hidden abilities) Rayquaza - Ozone Eater : Flying Type moves heal the user and the user is immune to meteor moves (Draco Meteor and any move that involves dropping rocks.) Groudon - Molten Titan: 3 Moves after it enters the field, the ground becomes molten, causing Ground moves to become fire, and fire moves to do more damage. When active, the ability has a chance to burn the opponent every turn if they are grounded. Removing the Pokemon before Molten Titan can activate resets the Move Limit. It can be cleared by Cloud Nine and Nullified by Air Lock Kyogre - Tempest Leviathan: 2 moves after it enters the battle field, the skies become a tempest, shrouding the Pokemon side, reducing incoming Special Damage and increasing speed. It is only active for three turns when it enters the battlefield after the 2 move penalty. Can be cleared prematurely remove Tempest with Cloud Nine. (you can chain it by constantly swapping Kyogre in and out. this is helped by reducing special attack move, meaning if you were to switch to a low special defense Pokemon, it will gain a huge benefit. Because it does not remove damage from a specific type of move, Molten Titan may be really good against it as it will cause the reduction of Fire Type moves to be nullified and with a fast enough Pokemon, you will hit first. Stab will be good too.)

[@YukiZero]

for Giratina I suggest altered forme - shadow cloak - getting hit by ghost or dark type moves heals the pokemon. origin forme - anti-matter control - getting hit by ghost or dark type moves heal the pokemon. also, all of giratinas ghost type moves will ignore 50% of the target's def or spdef. hitting a normal type target or a target under protect, detect, etc will cause the damage to double.

Dialga, Palkia and Giratina on the other hand, I think should share an ability (but with different names) the ability to switch in and use an attack on the same turn, Dialga could "freeze time" Palkia could "bend space" and Giratina would distort... something.

some other giratina abilitiy concepts: distort: lowers an opponent's stats when entering the battle (works like intimidate, but the stat effected is random) i guess this was sort of inspired by the whole "distortion" thingy giratina has going on non euclidean: stat debuffs applied to it instead affect a randomly selected stat. on occasion, debuffs that decrease a stat by more than one stage are split across multiple stats distort but for your own stats zero gravity: flying types and pokemon with levitate can be hit with ground type moves inspired by the distortion worlds odd terrain twisted terrain: upon entering battle, sets up some terrain effect. idk which one, none really seem to fit... same as above, also somewhat inspired by palkia out of time: while in battle (and maybe a few turns after exiting battle, either via switching out or fainting), sets up trick room im... not exactly sure why i made this... i think i just thought itd be cool to give giratina abilities relating to the other 2 legendaries (wanted to do one for arceus as well, but couldnt think of anything...)

For Giratina why not make it’s ability be something where it like nullifies the effects of terrains and stuff set up on the field, so trick room won’t work if it’s in play, or grassy terrain or other similar moves to that won’t work either
