I've been Thinking of this one for a while:
>Momentum - raises attack 1 stage every time Speed increases
I was thinking you put it on an already slow pokemon and it just has to build up power. Since it only raises once per use and not per stage, you'd be better off using something like flame charge rather than agility.
>Nimble - increases Priority attacks by 50%
This one I think is more balanced because it's in all honesty just Technician but for Priority moves. The only way I could see it being broken was if it was on a Normal type with high attack and access to Extremespeed.

New ability geared for doubles:

Trample - Whenever a pokémon with this ability attacks an enemy pokémon and that pokémon faints as a result, then any excess damage is dealt to an adjacent enemy pokémon.

- - -

If tripples it picks a random pokemon if the middle one fainted.
Also it does not recalculate the damage based on the new type matchup or stats or anything else, it simply takes the excess HP the pokemon you killed would have lost and removes that many HP from the pokémon next to it.

There's improving, and then there's making them unrealistically overpowered. If many of my examples were toned down, maybe they would be alright, but switching them from one extreme to another doesn't "justify their existance".

Anyways, I should contribute myself.

Mega Launcher - Include more projectile based attacks (water gun, solar beam, ice beam, etc.) that it can power up.

Creepy Stare
Lowers Sp. Attack and Sp. Defense when the Pokemon is sent out (like Intimidate).

All this does is give the Regis useful Fighting coverage (Superpower) plus maintain their blistering 50 Speed across multiple Curses, and lets Metagross use Hammer Arm without worrying about the Speed Drop.

And, of course, Torkoal gets no-drawbacks Shell Smash and a 130-BP, 90-Accuracy STAB in Overheat. If you can get a Smash off, it outspeeds a surprising amount of stuff and 2KOs pretty much anything that's not a pink blob.

Hypercharged: Moves that can consume a Power Herb (Razor Wind, Solarbeam, etc) are automatically completed in one turn.

You could take something with middling stats (some kind of bird? something sigilyph-y?) and just give it Sky Attack, Fly, Razor Wind, and Bounce or something.

There'd be a bit of a balance so that you don't end up with something cool in paper but weak in practice like Contrary Malmar, but it'd be cool. Most two-turn moves aren't strong enough to require an item to use, anyway.
