Assuming we are only adding abilities, so no new moves
>Typhlosion:
Volcanic Fury: The Pokémon's Fire moves are powered up and unimpeded by the Ability of the target. (Adaptability and Mold Breaker, though the boost would be a bit less than Adaptability (maybe 1.3x instead of 1.5x))
>Camerupt
Magma Chamber: Restores 1/4 of full HP every single turn.

Suggested these before but now slightly more balanced
