Amazing ability buff, and I don’t think it would be that OP of a buff. For Starmie it’s a boon, but as long as they keep it’s distribution as low as it has been, there shouldn’t be any problems with it. It’s as good as No Guard for buffing things desu.

Another buff for a currently useless ability:
>Shell Armor / Battle Armor (because they both do the same thing)
>Instead of preventing critical hits, the pokemon does not take damage from attacks that land as critical hits
Now it's situational, but not completely useless.

Hold on, about the Wisdom Gift, wouldn't it be better if it gave a boost to Physical or Special defense to the next pokemon based on the that knocked it out? What if the next pokemon coming in doesn't have any special attack moves?

Quoted By:

>Sniper (buff)
Has the added effect of ignoring enemy stat changes to def/spd. Also beam,ball and bullet moves can't miss. (*Ice beam, shadow ball, bullet seed and etc.)

>Spectacle
Whenever this pokemon uses a non damaging move becomes center of attention until end of turn.

>Inept
Moves double in power but can't be used consecutively. If an attempt to use the same move is made, attack will fail.

>Suppressing aroma
Prevents stat changes from occuring while pokemon is out.

>Sabotage
Causes items to have reversed or malevolent effects. Berries that heal deal damage instead. Berries that reduce damage to specific attacks now make them take double damage. Heal items deal damage when healing occurs. Items that boosts stats now reduce them as long as items are held(choice items reduce respective stats by 1/2 instead same for eviolite).
