Have you ever looked at one of your favorite Pokémon and thought, "Man, I wish it had a different ability"? Imagine if Nidoking had some random flying ability, or if Jigglypuff could use Flash Fire. It doesn't have to be competitive or even make sense, but for fun, if you could give any Pokémon a different ability, which one would you choose, and what ability would you give it?

    Mine is it matching the Pokémon

    Hisuian Zoroark doesn't match having Illusion imo

    I think it should gave the Ability Intimidate and Hidden Ability Anger Point

    Mewtwo should have Telepathy because it talks in people's minds in the movie

    Ceruledge needs Sharpness

    Mega Sceptile should be either Sharpness or Tough Claws

    Lopunny should lost Klutz and gain Huge Power

    Now...

    I'll add one that is just because I think the ability would be cool for it...

    Infernape with Contrary

    That's all!

    Vulpix and Ninetales only have one basic ability respectively in Flash Fire or Snow Cloak for its Alolan variant. Their Hidden ability is weather related but if I could add/change their abilities, it'd be as follows:

    Vulpix/Ninetales would have Flash Fire + Earth Eater for basic abilities. Flash Fire makes it immune to Fire type moves(while boosting its Fire type moves when hit by one) while Earth Eater takes a Fire Type weakness and turns it into a strength that heals it, making it a great doubles partner for Ground types that use Earthquake. It's Drought ability would remain, although I did contemplate doing Desolate Land so that it could use a different held item.

    For Alolan Vulpix, they'd get Snow Cloak and Fur Coat with Snow Warning as Hidden. Fur Coat is rarely utilized but would benefit Alolan Vulpix a lot given it's Physical Defense is arguably it's weakest attribute from a defensive aspect and given it has x4 Steel weakness as Alolan Ninetales, it basically cuts the x4 to x2 with respect to Physical Steel moves and if you have a doubles partner that can get Snow up for you to get another 50% boost, you basically force enemies to use Special Steel moves to take you down(where Alolan Ninetales has a strong Special Defense). Other weaknesses with Fur Coat are generally Physical so it'd basically cut them down by a lot and makes it a strong doubles Pokemon if you can use another Snow Warning partner since Snowstorm boost + Aurora Veil... Talk about Tanky.
