Are we ever going to get fourth abilities? Would that be too much? Are the pokemon with three shitty abilities forever fucked?

Abilities can be retconned, you know. In fact, they did it for three different lines in XY.

>b-b-but some pokemons have three shitty abilities

Chandelure got Shadow Tag replaced with Infiltrator, Scolipede got Quick Feet replaced with Speed Boost, and Zapdos got Lightning Rod replaced with Static.

How strange. Replacing Shadow Tag and Lightning Rod, but replacing Quick Feet for Speed Boost? Why did they do that?

Name ONE (1) Pokemon that has three of their abilities be really good, like Reuniclus' Magic Guard, Overcoat, and Regenerator good.

Speed Boost is a wack ass outliner though.

I think it'd be cool if there was a 2nd HA that would be tied to the gen/region the pokemon came from. Each gen they'd give it a different ability, shake the meta up a bit. There could also be an item to "awaken" the ability, something like the ability capsule maybe it an NPC that will do it for $$$ so that it wouldn't make getting the real HA harder. It would be nice for pokemon that don't get megas/regional forms/etc to get something fresh each gen.

Except for those cases when they were just introducing hidden abilities, I doubt too many more will be retconned.
On the plus side, abilities get updated all the time, so maybe they'll make some of the less useful ones more viable, or the metagame will change to where a previously useless ability will became very good such as unaware

I always thought it would be cool if pokemon could get abilities by breeding and/or by event, in top of their 2 regular ones and HA.

Say you breed a female gourgeist holding [insert name] item and a male chandelure with flash fire: the baby pumpkaboo would be born with flash fire.

Event abilities (given to any mon received as mystery gift, gotten from a special place in-game, etc.) could be things like a levitate Victini, a pixilate Delcatty, heatproof metagross, and so on.

Bascilin has gotten four different abilities in the black and white games. He has his two regular ones (adaptability and reckless), his hidden ability (mold breaker), and the ability rock head when you trade a NPC in Driftveil City. This fucker is the only pokemon who can have 4 abilities currently

Some pokemon that only had only 1 ability got Competitive as an ability in Gen 6.

Would've been nice if they retconned Empoleon's Defiant for it, though.
