Was gonna make a new thread for this but posting my autism here.
I've been making a way to give every Pokemon some sort of usable niche (at least in Doubles) while keeping it fun for casual players too, Searching across several fangames and romhacks and even some pet Showdown mods, something that I noticed though was that in some cases, they'll flat-out give some Pokemon a legendary's move or ability in order to balance them out. Probably the most famous example being Radical Red w/ stuff like Pangoro getting Wicked Blow and Lycanroc getting Precipice Blades.
Now I know this started back in Gen 5's Dream World with giving Ninetales Drought and Politoed Drizzle, then just sort of went from there and gave a couple more mons these abilities.
My question is, from a more casual standpoint, would it be a good idea to give a mon a legendary's move/ability if it buffs 'em up good, since Pokemon themselves already did it?
