Re: ideas for new abilities

Team Effort-All stats changes are passed to next pokemon if this pokemon has not fainted when switching out-Kinda like baton pass but the pokemon that have this should be pokemon that need baton pass but don't get it like Chimecho and Illumise. Outside of battles: Pokemon of the same type(s) appear more often.

Re: Create-a-Ability

I think these abilities would have some benefits:

Drainability
Effect: One of your opponents loses their ability and the user gets the ability. Wonder Guard cannot be drained.
Explanation: This ability is designated to a weak Pokemon, because it is a very powerful ability. Taking an ability from the opponent would usually hinder their battling potential, but at the same time, taking a negative ability is not a god thing.

Insect Trap
Effect: Gives the user an immunity to Bug attacks, and Bug types that make contact will be trapped, even when U-turn is used.
Explanation: This ability is reserved for carnivorous plants, because it doesn't make sense for them to be at the mercy of Bug attacks, which they are now. Besides, preventing U-turn from taking effect is a plus that will discourage the move to an extent.

Thanks for reading.

If you are not aware, Pickpocket is an existing ability. It's a Hidden Ability for Sneasel and Weavile (as well as the Seedot family, believe it), but it should be more reliable, because the effect works every time instead of 30%, although it only works on opponents that makes contact.

Thanks for reading.

You can't say something doubles in damage in the flavor text, then have the real effect be a 50% increase. *1.5 and *2 are totally different things.
