Made 3 new hypothetical abilities that i think would be pretty neat.

Overview:

  • Tricky Tactics: an ability that i hope could give some pokemons with more coverage/better moves in their lower attacking stat, especially for pokemons like Absol and Nidoking/queen who have much better coverage in the special side rather than their physical stat, its also helpful for pokemons like Porygon-Z ans Toucannon who can now fire off a much stronger STAB, especially Toucannon who can now fire off Boombursts with its attacking stat which although may not bring it straight to ubers it may still helping greately overall.

Calcs that may be of note:

252+ Atk Absol Thunderbolt vs. 248 HP / 8 Def Toxapex: 164-194 (54.1 - 64%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

252+ Atk Choice Band Toucannon Boomburst vs. 0 HP / 4 Def Great Tusk: 309-364 (83.2 - 98.1%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

252+ Atk Choice Band Toucannon Boomburst vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Alomomola: 325-384 (60.8 - 71.9%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

252 SpA Adaptability Porygon-Z Double-Edge vs. 248 HP / 252+ SpD Toxapex: 168-198 (55.4 - 65.3%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

252 SpA Adaptability Porygon-Z Double-Edge vs. 0 HP / 172 SpD Iron Hands: 326-384 (72.6 - 85.5%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

  • Careful Step: it is a much simplier ability but can helpful especially for mons like Accelgor and maybe Salazzle who don't deal well with rocks and just hazards overall, while for Hitmonchan and Flamigo they may not need it as much it could still be a welcome addition. Oh yeah, Weavile also gets it, meaning it can actually run and item now, which may even give it back the fame it seems to have lost in Gen 9.

  • Master Thief: in my opinion Master Thief could be a rather powerful ability, essentialy removing the opponent's item for free on entry, of course it is mainly balanced out by the fact that the pokemons that get it aren't exactly the greatest, this is in the hopes to also give this lesser used mons a bit more usage without making them too broken hopefuly, although it also requires you to run no item it shouldn't be too much of an issue when you take the opponent's. There could also be some gimmicky sets with Fling to steal multiple items with one although i feel like it could be a stretch.
