    Simple as the title. What abilities do you think certain Pokemon should've gotten? For a second, just ignore how overpowered some Pokemon may get, and just think about which abilities they should logically get.

    For me, the likes of the the Mangezone family, Palkia, and Dialga should've all gotten Levitate via Dream World. How do you have a family of levitating magnets that can't levitate? As for Dialga and Palkia, we've seen them fly around before, so Levitate only seems to fit them..

    Another Pokemon that should get a new ability is Muk/Grimer. They are made of.. gunk, ffs. Poison Heal, anyone? Since they're poison types, it seems to make sense that the more gunk/poison they absorb, the more HP they get. Nvm, poison types can't be poisoned xP

    Also, Hyper Cutter and any flying type. It just sounds like a flying type ability..

    So what about your thoughts?

    To me, Hyper Cutter doesn't seem to suit Flying Pokemon, since I associate Hyper Cutter with the Pokemon who have pincers.

    Anyway, as for me, I think that Staryu and Starmie should've gotten Regenerator as a DW ability instead of Analytic; real-life sea stars are known to regenerate their body parts when they're torn off.

    I agree with that, Staryu and Starmie shouldn't have got Analytic cos Speed is their highest stat. They are too fast to even activate it.

    Elgyem and Beheeyem are the only ones who can pull off Analytic efficiently.
     
    Another one I just thought of for Levitate is Darkrai. The thing doesn't even have legs haha. Sure we'd then be treading on dual-ability waters but still, Darkrai levitates..

    And perhaps Thick Fat on Dragonite? The thing is fat..

    Flygon should get Tinted Lens, too. Just look at it..
     
    Sableye should get "Wonder Guard"... :V

    Now on a more serious note,

    I always thought that Mawile should get "Defiant" or "Rivalry"... They seem like such fitting abilities for it, and it would help it's rather low stats too.
     
    Archeops should get any ability that's not Defeatist.
     
    This next one is more or less just a "guilty pleasure" of sorts >:]

    Poison Heal Slaking. The ability to avoid status, heal 1/8 per turn, and get a 210 base powered Facade coming off a 160 base attack stat? Yes.. Very nice..
     
    I'm with Sydian. Archeops is one of my favorites, and its ability is horrific. I would say Moxie just for troll purposes, but I think it's benefit with Guts or Limber. Limber would be neat, just so I could say I have a Limber Archeops.

    Skitty needs something other than Normalize. How completely useless is that? Turning every move into a Normal-type attack? No.thank.you. Maybe something like Unaware.
     
    I think Feraligatr should of got Intimidate (DW ability), since one of its Pokedex entries mention that it opens its jaws before battle to scare the opponent, it fits in.

    I think Rivalry would suit Charizard since it loves to fight, as seen in the anime.

    Typhlosion line with flame body. again its pokedex entries mention its ability to 'blast others to cinders'
     
    Those of you recommending Rivalry for anything are crazy. That's like Attract. You have to depend upon gender, and I mean...in-game OR competitively, I can't think of how that'd be useful. Even Attract would be more useful...
     
    I think Gothitelle should've got Forewarn cos one of its Pokedex entries mention it sees its Trainer's life spans.

    Also, I think Dusknoir and Darkrai should have got Levitate, they look like they're floating (Duskull has Levitate, so why not Dusknoir?)
     
    I'd like to see Technician on Weavile since some of its best moves like Pursuit or Ice Shard would get a rather nice boost or perhaps Intimidate on Scizor or Steelix since they're both pretty frightening looks wise imo. Oh and Snow Warning on Mamoswine or Regice would be pretty neat too if you ask me.
     
    Just want to comment on OP's Poison Heal on Grimer/Muk...That would have been the most useless Ability association. They have to be poisoned in order for Poison heal to work and Being Poison Types, that is impossible.

    I like all the Pokemon as they are so other than that I really can't contribute.

    Ahhhh, I can't believe I didn't remember that.. ><

    As for Intimidate.. Tyranitar, anyone?

    OMG, I know right? It makes no sense. I mean, Pressure works for it, but it's clearly levitating. I don't see a problem in having it go back to its Duskull roots and having Levitate as an ability. I'm talking about Dusknoir btw, lol. I think Darkrai is fine how it is.
     
    I wish Big pecks was better, that way the Pokemon with it could use it more towards their advantage. If they replaced Big Pecks on Pidove with something like, maybe Adaptability, it would be a lot more useful. Poochyena needs another ability, too. As cute as it is with Run Away, it can only be cute for so long. Give it something to make it brave, give it Guts!
     
    I think the Chikorita line should have gotten Chlorophyll.

    One of Chikorita's Pokedex entries mentions sunbathing so that's why I think it should've had it.
