Abilities Pokémon don't have you think they should?

Cacnea, Cacturne, and Maractus should have Rough Skin because they're cacti.

Frost Rotom should have Refrigerate because it's a refrigerator.

...speaking of Rotom...
Why in blazes does a Fan Rotom (Electric/Flying) have Levitate? o.o It should be...um...static..? idek...

I really think Rotom Fan and Rotom Mow should get Motor Drive instead of Levitate, they run on a motors so it makes sense. Plus it's more useful competitively since Levitate is is useless for Fan and ground attack only do neutral damage on Mow.

Lol I must seem like a Motor Drive fan boy :P

Gotta make sure you're as immune to Ground as possible yo {XD}

Pyroar (especially the male one) should have Intimidate, since it threatens any challenger.

The problem is, Rough Skin has some exclusivity to shark-based Pokemon, like how Spider Web has exclusivity to spider-based Pokemon or Glare and Coil mostly being for serpent-based Pokemon.

Druddigon has Rough Skin and it's not a shark.

I really think that Samurott should have received the ability Intimidate from the Dream World. His Pokedex entry from White reads:

"Part of the armor on its anterior legs becomes a giant sword. Its cry alone is enough to intimidate most enemies."

Seriously, they used this word to describe the Pokemon, so how could they not give Samurott Intimidate for its Hidden Ability? I understand why they gave it Shell Armor, but still...

I think it would be pretty cool if Rapidash got Motor Drive as one of it's abilities. When people talk about cars, which have motors, the speed or whatever is measured in horse power, so it makes total sense to me.

It would also be interesting if Dodrio got it too, it's PokeDex description in Alpha Sapphire is "Apparently, the heads aren't the only parts of the body that Dodrio has three of. It has three sets of hearts and lungs as well, so it is capable of running long distances without rest." so it has some sense to it, in my opinion at least. It would really help it out competitively too giving it an immunity to a type that otherwise is super-effective against it.

I think Reckless would be great for those Pokémon, since they have some decent moves to take advantage of it.
