  • 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 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

  • 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

  • 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. ;)
