5th Gen Ability Discussion

What new Abilities would you like to see added?

Weather Man (Person): An ability that spiratically changes the weather randomly every couple turns.

I can't remember some of my other ideas but I always thought this would be pure random fun, nothing like having a Sandstorm, Ice Storm, thundershower all to have it turn to a nice sunny day for a couple turns before the fog comes in. :P

New abilities?

what can you think for new abilities in generation 5? I can think of 2 for legendaries.

1) Chronoforce - The ability will be determined depending on the time of day or night, and changes every 2 or 4 hours
2) Hypercharge - Beam moves such as Hyper Beam do not need to recharge when first used in battle.


what else can you think?

I'd certainly love to see something like this ability:
Preposterous - The user makes 2 attacks per turn.

A Pokémon with sub-par stats could use this pretty well. And many player's would use it.

Zoroark - the star of the forthcoming Pokémon Ruler Of Illusion: Zoroark movie - will be able to call on this ability which enables it to transform into various Pokémon.

here's another one I can think of, although it could work as an Item as well.

True Power - When using Secret Power, the Attack will become the element of the implied move as opposed to being just a normal move.

i was about to say hell no, but then shuckle came to my mind. but it is kinda OP though

I would have just one

Preference: If this pokemon is holding a berry, the effect of the berry can be used multiple times without the berry being lost

Here are abilities for some pokemon.

Power Up:
Everyturn the user's Pokemon loses 1 speed level and gains 1 attack level.

Blazing:
Once a turn the Pokemon's fire attacks will x by 0.32

Cross Hold:
Prevents all Pokemon from using Protect and Detect.

Steel Stone:
Increases all Pokemons on the user's sides defense by 0.5

Freeze Off:
Prevents all Pokemon in the user's party to be frozen

Starlight:
protects pokemon from status conditions, lowering of stats, & increases chances of added effects (only for jirachi)

some of these abilities sound too unbalanced

Frostbite - If this Pokemon is attacked, it will become frozen (10% chance)

Mental Touch - If attacked by a special attack, the Pokemon that used the attack will become confused (20%)

Blindness - Every turn the Pokemon accuracy falls, but all its stats increase by 2 or 1

Avoidense - If there is an attack that can be avoided (Surf, Rock Slide, Earthquake, or any attack that effects the whole feild), this Pokemon will always avoid them.

Taunting Stance - Lowers pokemons defenses.

Loud Call - Sound Base attacks do double damage, double the effect, and have double accuracy

Transfer - If this pokemon is effect by a status, it is transferd over to the pokemon that gave it too you. Preventing status

Fastpace - Moves that attack first do double damage.

Yes, way too unbalanced !_!

Here's some alright ones I can think off:

Magnetize - Electric moves will only hit this Pokemon and will be absorbed as HP (Good for Electrics and some Rock/Ground types too?)

Plant Growth - Any Water-type move used on this Pokemon will raise a random stat. (Only Grass types)

Shield - This Pokemon has a 30% chance of the opponent's move doing half it's damage.

Babysit - The foe has a chance of refusing to attack this Pokemon. (Only Babies!!!) :O

Reload - every turn the PP of a random move is restored by 1

id like to see more versions of volt absorb, like one for fire types (they need all the HP they can get) and for maybe grass

Pitch Black- multiplies the users dark type moves 1.5x at night

and torrent/swarm/blaze/overgrow versions for the other types. ;)

yeah i do want some..

Motor drive version of poison
sleep walk - increases speed if put to sleep
cautious - reduces accuracy of foes attack

There r plenty more...but these are the one i really want

You'd have full PP all the time o.0

Unless your opponent has Pressure or Spite.

I would like to see Gravitational pull it allows flying types to get hit by ground type moves


THIS IS MY FIRST EVER POST!!!

Ultra heat: Decrease water type effectiveness by 50% and fire type move deal normal damage against water type
