MALICIOUS ILLUSION - this Pokémon comes out disguised as the last member of team, as per the usual Illusion Ability. If the Illusion is broken by a super-effective attack, the opponent takes 50% of their max HP in damage, as though they had just used Mind Blown or Steel Beam. If the move is not super-effective, the opponent takes no damage.

That's the idea. It's a high-rise high -reward of trying to predict when the opponent's going to go for a Dark move. Plus you'd have to outspeed them next turn to finish them off, which even with Zoro-H's speed isn't always a guarantee.

These are abilities I've thought of for a gunner Pokemon.

>Sharpshooter
Multi-strike projectile moves (such as Bullet Seed, Pin Missile, etc.) will triple in power & never miss, but it will hit only once.

>Magnum
Multi-strike projectile moves will be 1.5x stronger, but can only hit 1-3 times (instead of the usual 2-5).

>Mag Dump
Multi-strike projectile moves will always try to hit 5 times. The move doesn't stop when it misses at any point, it keeps going until 5 attempts have been made.

>High Capacity
Multi-strike projectile moves can hit up to 7 times. The probability of hitting 4 or 5 is slightly higher than usual.

>Dual Wield
Multi-strike projectile moves are used twice in one turn. No difference in attack power, accuracy, or probability of hits. It literally uses the move twice in a row, and consumes 2 PP (4 if the opponent has Pressure).

All of the above changes at the start of every battle, and they stick until the start of the next battle. So if the Pokemon happens to get any field moves, you can use them in the overworld until the next battle.

The only things it doesn't change are its species, gender (because fuck that noise & I've imagined this ability on a genderless-only Pokemon anyway), ability, and level (because the stats are random anyway).

I think this ability would be ideal for any Pokemon that are based on aliens, robots, or glitches. If Missingno. was canon, I could see it having this ability.

In-battle stat changes are "permanent." Any stat changes experienced in battle, both good and bad, will be retained.

>use Swords Dance; it fails (you already have +6 Attack)
>enemy uses Growl (-1 Attack)

All stat changes reset to zero when the Pokemon is healed at a Pokemon Center, deposited into a PC, left in a Daycare, or traded.

Get rid of Oblivious on all 3. That ability makes no sense.

With dex entries like:
"Incredibly slow and dopey. It takes 5 seconds for it to feel pain when under attack." and "Naturally dull to begin with, it lost its ability to feel pain due to Shellder's seeping poison."

>Delayed Reaction
This Pokemon takes damage the turn after it is attacked. The opposing Pokemon's attack still hits even if this Pokemon is switched out.

>In doubles, if it get sent out at the start of the match (which it probably will anyway), it can be immediately switch out for a bulkier mon to store a further 5 turns of Trick Room.

Unless it get stopped by Neutralizing Gas, Trace, an opposing Trick Room setter, or Fixed Space, it can generate 10 "free" turns of Trick Room in doubles and 8 in singles. Which I would say is quite powerful. Whether that's enough to give up a slot I can't be absolutely sure, but if it were a decent Pokemon then it's a sure-have on Trick Room teams.
