>>44223891>VenusaurOld Ability: Chlorophyll
New Ability: Thick Fat
Why: Chlorophyll is nice, but Thick Fat is more practical and gives it more use outside of weather teams.
>CrobatOld Ability: Inner Focus
New Ability: Merciless
Why: Honestly, Inner Focus is only good for the rare Fake Out. Merciless gives it more power especially if you are also using it to spread status.
>ExploudOld Ability: Soundproof
New Ability: Punk Rock
Why: Exploud really should be rocking the most powerful Boom Burst in the game. Scrappy is also too good for it to toss.
>VespiquenOld Ability: Pressure
New Ability: Queenly Majesty
Why: Pressure is absolutely useless here.
>StunfiskOld Ability: Limber
New Ability: Dry Skin
Why: Limber was useless then, and it's more useless now with the changes in Gen 6. Dry Skin at least makes some sense as it's a fish that should not be weak to water.
>GogoatOld Ability: Grass Pelt
New Ability: Grassy Surge
Why: Grass Pelt is way too situational for such a minor buff. Just give the terrain. If I also had my way, Gogoat's Special Attack and Defense would be swapped and it would learn Double Kick and Megahorn but that's neither here nor there...
>LurantisOld Ability: Leaf Guard
New Ability: Tinted Lens
Why: She needs every little thing she can get.
