Wait. The best abilities are just auto-using moves on switch in.
Something about that feels lame.

you're missing the point where the effect doesn't consume a turn. this is critical

It's nice to not have to use a turn on that move or even have it take up space in your moveset.

Yeah. Being able to use a move for free is pretty busted.

Huge Power has some nuance and is better than Sword Dance generally speaking.
It isn’t ignored by Unaware, but more importantly it’s separate from stat stages. By that, I mean if you have Huge Power normally and Sword Dance, it would be 2*2 = x4 boost. If Huge Power was a Sword Dance on switch, you’d only have x3 boost. Additionally, Huge Power has the potential to have x8 power with 3 Sword Dances, while the alternative would max out at 2 uses and be x4 only.
And even more, with stat changes, the more you use them, the more the diminishing returns. Using it once boosts your power from x1 to x2, being x2 boost, but doing it a second time only goes from x2 to x3, which is a x1.5 boost, and then x3 to x4 is only a x1.33~ boost to what you already had.

Also, attacking moves that switch out Pokemon (U-Turn/Volt Switch) are pretty damn solid.
