Malmars ability

So i had a shiny malmar for ages but i recently foun out how broken it is
contrary flips stat changes so -attack is actually +attack and vice versa
malmar naturally learns superpower so a 120 base power tera fighting that adds attack and defense each time used is broken
this pokemon has a lot of unised potential

Um yeah… Contrary ability has been around since Generation 5 with probably the most well known user of it being the Snivy line. Yet Inkay and its evolved form Malamar are the only ones not to have it as a Hidden Ability. Contrary makes using moves that have pretty nasty debuffs insanely strong but also means any moves that would otherwise provide nice buffs(like Coil for the Snivy line) do the exact opposite. It's a double-edge Sword but I wouldn't exactly call it OP because Superpower has 5 PP. Ditto Leaf Storm(w/ 90 accuracy) and other debuff moves. If I wanted a rare ability, I'd probably take Simple over Contrary. Doubling stat changes(good or bad) seems far stronger since Swords Dance = +4. That would strike terror in just about anyone provided it had enough Speed and/or priority.

Shuckle, Spinda, and Enamorus have it, too! Contrary Shuckle + Shell Smash is pretty much taking one of the weakest Pokémon, but with the highest defenses, and making it even weaker, but even more defensive.

Cool! I used to have a Lurantis that had Contrary. Contrary's always been one of my favorite abilities. I sometimes call my younger brother Lurantis because of how contrary he is.

Fun fact: In Japanese, Contrary is referred to as "Amanojaku", which is a kind of Youkai/Yokai (Japanese supernatural entity) that is known for being very contrary.

When I learned Snivy has Contrary that totally made my day. Snivy's always been my favorite starter and Contrary's always been one of my favorite abilities.
