Name a better special ability for each federation's starter pokemon.

Their secondary abilities are usually not great except maybe greninja, serperior and blaziken who all are great to the amazing

My man Bulbasaur needs Poison Heal but that doesn't work for other grass starters.

(Ideally, they would still have access to there canon ability and this new one, having three possible abilities total)

Meganium: Flower Veil
Typhlosion: Berserk
Feraligator: Swift Swim

Torterra: Solid Rock
Infernape: No Guard
Empoleon: Competitive

Every gen seems to have one mon that gets shafted in terms of Hidden Abilities so I'll just do those
>Blastoise
Mega Launcher (it's got big fucking guns)
>Meganium
Triage (It's a healer Pokemon, and would give it some reason to be used over literally any other support Grass-type)
>Swampert
Swift Swim (all the Hoenn starters boost speed with their HAs now, neat coincidence)
>Torterra
Sturdy (Just look at him)
>Samurott
Mold Breaker (Incineroar has Intimidate and I don't wanna double up on abilities. Also honestly you could give Samurott Defiant and Empoleon Competitive)
>Delphox
Fluffy (I guess? IDK i don't wanna give it Magic Bounce/Guard but it would fit)
>Primarina (because I never see anyone use Liquid Voice and Long Reach seems slightly better)
Serene Grace (might be aids with Scald/Moonblast but not necessarily broken?)
>Inteleon
Infiltrator (fits the spy theme and is better than Sniper)

Bulbasaur: Effect Spore
Charmander: Flash Fire
Squirtle: Weak Armor or Shell Armor, maybe Lightning Rod

Chikorita: Flower Gift
Cyndaquil: Tough Claws (yes, it's a special attacker, but badgers have huge claws and it has some wacky physical coverage)
Totodile: Swift Swim or Iron Fist

Treecko: Chlorophyll
Torchic: Scrappy
Mudkip: Storm Drain (or at least Water Absorb)

too lazy to do the rest but on the topic of replacing Powers up ___ moves in a pinch, Heracross should have Sap Sipper and Scizor should get like, Speed Boost or something

I just think Fluffy would be more interesting than another Psychic Magic Guard/Bouncer (I know I put swift Swim for Pert but at least that's its Mega Evo Ability)

Overgrow/Blaze/Torrent are such shitty abilities to be fucked with. All starters should have two regular abilities + their Overgrow equivalent as a Hidden Ability, which you get if you receive the Pokemon as a starter

They should keep their same effect, but maybe buffed a little. Just have them be Hidden Abilities, instead, to make room for the starters to have two abilities

>Venasaur
I'd make a new ability that restores HP in sunlight, call it whatever ya want, but that's what I'd give him
>Blastoise
Given Megas are no longer a thing in the current games, I'd give him Mega Launcher
>Charizard
Straight up give him Tough claws or make a new ability that turns all Normal type moves into Dragon type moves.
>Meganium
Prankster. Meganium has a lot of status moves. Why not?
>Typhlosion
Considering what it has, I'd say give it an ability to increase it's physical stat like Charizard.
>Feraligatr
It has Sheer Force has it's Hidden.
Feraligatr's ability isn't Meta defining but it's better than being more cheep than cleaning paper plate
>Sceptile
Tough claws
>Blaziken
Speed Boost. Just Speed Boost.
>Swampert
The good answer is Sap Sipper. The better answer is give it Swift swim, like it's mega. Yeah, invincapert is better, but crackin skulls at the speed of fuck you is funner.
>Torterra
Thick Fat. It's 4 times week to Ice.
>Infernape
Unburden. Iron fist is nice, but, given Infernape's defenses, it could use it.
>Empoleon
I'm not really sure.
>Serperior
Contrary is fine here.
>Emboar
Reckless is actually fine here. It has it's uses here.
>Samurott
Sap sipper. Only cause it'd be a nice off guard.
>Chesnaught
Toxic heal. Chesnaught is kinda forgettable so... Toxic heal.
>Delphox
Solar Flare would be good here. Get some nice blast burn damage from it.
>Greninja
I'd keep Protean only cause it's fun to hop between tips like Greninja does.
>Decidueye
Decidueye's long reach is a good archery reference, but I'd give him a gale wing's varient for grass types.
>Incineroar
Intimidate works here. Though an ability to give it a stab on fighting moves would be better.
>Primarina
Liquid voice works for what it does.
>Rillaboom
Grass type Liquid voice.
>Cinderace
Libero seems to be fine here. So, no change.
>Inteleon
This is the spy themed pokemon right? Well, give it a special color change that gives it a second type based on the last attack it was hit with.

Have you seen Charizard, Typhlosion and Sceptile's movesets? I ain't saying Tough claw is gonna change worlds, I am gonna say, it's better than relaying on 85 attack power when ya got 105 for a total of 10 moves.

Just buff it's Special movepool, or for Sceptile's case, swap it's Attack and Special Attack around, so it can use Leaf Blade

Given what Sceptile has, that might do it some justice, but Typhlosion is a Johto Charizard, but it suffers from the same thing as Sceptile, but just fire flavored.

Typhlosion is the fastest user of Eruption, so it has something to set it apart from Charizard. I agree that they should be more differentiated, but I don't think Typhlosion should be a physical attacker
Besides, Tough Claws only buffs contact moves, not all physical moves. Meaning moves such as Earthquake will not be getting buffed

I wasn't entirely aware of that being the case. I stand corrected. Then I'd probably give Typhlosion Solar power to give Eruption more power

As the other Tough Claws Typhlosion poster, I totally get where you're coming from, but it gets some absurd contact moves. If you look at Z-Moves it has access to, only like 4 are special and the rest are physical, and most come off contact moves. Wild Charge, Throat Chop, etc etc
