  1. If the pokemon is moved by an entire Tab of distance, it is too good by current standards to see a real buff. A simple solution would be recommending a basic "imposing" ability like Unnerve/Pressure.
  2.  
  3. Regular pokemon with a singular none-unique ability:
  4. Turtonator is the ONLY pokemon with 1 ability that isn't unique. It has no pokedex or description implications to have 1 ability, thus I will list a few options cause Gamefreak seems to not give a dime about this pokemon.
  5. - White Smoke (generic)
  6. - Flash Fire (generic)
  7. - Stalwart (thematic and decent for doubles)
  8. - Aftermath (thematic and decent in general)
  9.  
  10. Pseudo-Legendary Pokemon with 2 abilities:
  11. Dragonite line Serene Grace?

  60. Plusle Run Away(Fairy Egg group + Rodent) / Battery
  61. Minun Run Away(Fairy Egg group + Rodent) / Battery
  62. Sharpedo line Strong Jaw(BORING)
  63. Cacturne line Sand Rush (GOOD), Stakeout/Aftermath (insufficient)

  127. Galarian-Articuno
  128. Galarian-Moltres
  129.  
  130. Eternatus Zygard like unique ability.... somehow?
  131.  
  132.  
  133.  
  134. Replaces:
  135. (Gamefreak has done a few replaces; Cursed Body Gengar, Inner Focus Mythical Beasts(gen7) and some HA's pre-release for gen 6.)
  136.  
  137. Muk
  138. Ability: Liquid Ooze *Replace Stench
  139.  
  140. Dodrio
  141. Ability: Reckless *Replace Early Bird by design, replace Tangled Feet for any other aspects.
  142.  
  143. Primape
  144. Ability: Gorilla Tactics *Replaces Anger Point
  145. => got a regional evolution
  146.  
  147. Jumpluff
  148. Ability: Cotton Down *Replaces Leafguard
  149.  
  150. Lilligant
  151. Ability: Dazzling *Replaces Leaf Guard
  152.  
  153. Furret
  154. Ability: Fur Coat *Replaces Keen Eye or Run Away
  155.  
  156. Whiscash
  157. Ability: Simple *Replaces Hydration
  158.  
  159. Gourgeist
  160. Ability: Flare Boost *replacing Insomnia
  161.  
  162. Wailord
  163. Ability: Thick Fat *Replacing Water Veil or Oblivious
  164. Thematic, but not a buff.
  165. Exploud
  166. Ability: Punk Rock
  167. - Overdrive <Idea from Radical Red>
  168.  
  169. Chatot
  170. Ability: increased sound moves, like Punk Rock, but more classical themed *Replaces Big Pecks
  171.  
  172.  
  173. Even more unlikely; Starters being given a different Hidden ability:
  174.  
  175. Meganium: Aroma Veil
  176. Torterra: Harvest
  177. Typhlosion: Fire version of Gale Wing <Idea by Radical Red>
  178. Empoleon: Justified / Mirror Armor -> was given Competitive over Defiant
  179.  
  180.  
  181.  
  182. Redundant abilities:
  183. Overcoat Leavanny
  184. Overcoat Wormadam
  185. Limber Stunfisk
  186. Insomnia Gourgeist
  187. Insomnia Scorvillain
  188. Levitate Rotom-Spin (Rotom-fan)
  189.  
  190.  
  191. Levitate pokemon:
  192.  
  193. Vibrava/Flygon:
  194. Ability 2: Compound Eyes, Hidden Ability: Tinted Lens <Idea from Radical Red>
  195.  
  196. Mismagius:
  197. Ability 2: Magician/Magic Bounce, Hidden Ability: Magic Guard?
  198. => Ideal pokemon to get a stat buff, but an ability addition would work just fine. Its just 20 base points too weak. If they do stat buff it like implied by its counterpart (+10 BST), it would still be 10 points too weak in special attack. Adaptability would help it too much, but there is no other ability to increase Shadow Ball/Hex's damage.
  199.  
  200. Rotom:
  201. Hidden Ability: Motor Drive (Too much of a buff for now)
  202. => Rotom-Wash most certainly gets a major buff with this while Rotom-Mow benefits from a new alternitive ability, but the biggest gainer would be Rotom-Fan.
  203. The problem is that this ability thanks to the Nasty Plot addition, simply is too much of a buff for the Rotom's right now. Alternitively each Rotom form can be given a hidden ability that is unique to each form. For example
  204. Base Rotom = Cursed Body
  205. Rotom-Wash =
  206. Rotom-Heat =
  207. Rotom-Frost =
  208. Rotom-Fan = Wind Power
  209. Rotom-Mow =
  210. But GF did most certainly mess up by adding that many.
  211.
