ITT: Abilities that need to be nerfed or buffed, and how to do it

Try not to make abilities completely broken or completely useless tho. Here are some of my ideas
Abilities to nerf:
-Parental Bond: The second attack deals even less damage OR if a move with a secondary effect is used, the effect activates only once. Or both. Fuck Parental Bond
-Gale Wings: The power of damaging moves affected by it is reduced
-Protean: Honestly I don’t know what to modify without changing the ability completely, it’s pretty straightforward
-Aerilate: It just change the type of Normal type moves, without the 30% boost. I don’t think Pixilate and Refrigerate necessarily need a nerf, but I feel like you either nerf all of them or none of them for consistency’s sake, so I don’t know
Abilities to buff:
-Hyper Cutter: Literally an inferior version of Clear Body, how is that fair? Now when an opponent reduces this pokemon’s attack, it raises it instead. It still doesn’t affect self-inflicted reductions, like with Superpower for example. Now it becomes very viable, seeing how Intimidate is a pretty common ability
-Iron Fist: All moves affected by Iron Fist are also affected by Tough Claws, and the boost is smaller. Jesus. Now Iron Fist provides a boost of 30%-40% to punching moves
-Klutz: What the fuck is even this ability. Now if the pokemon doesn’t have any held item it automatically gets a +1 Speed and a +1 Accuracy increase. Or a +2 Speed increase, depends how much the lack of an item is a disadvantage
