Let's Make POKÉMON ABILITIES! | Croneo Region

Every Pokémon has an ability, and every generation introduces a handful of new ones. Today, I discuss some ability ideas I came up with for my fakemon region, Croneo.

the abilities of the fire-water-grass starter trio are quite busted and, if this were made into a game, would make most battles trivial depending on the moves the starters learn

[@CroneoRegion]

I assume you mean in competitive? I did say they were hidden abilities

[@nex7855]

in any sense really. it'd make a whole lot of sense if the hidden abilities could only be obtained in the late/postgame

[@CroneoRegion]

...they usually are though?

[@basecatXD]

@@CroneoRegionit would still be too good in competitive

[@CroneoRegion]

this isn't a series about making a new metagame lmao, just exploring ideas for just a regular game lol

[@eeluim7201]

My idea for night shift is having either a nighttime weather or a "lunar terrain". Which could work as a way to set up the night effect better and it would turn the ability to something like quark drive.
Just a weird little idea.

[@ProjectEchoshadow]

Or since it’s gamefreak all online games work based on Japanese time

[@zipc403]

Amazing abilities but personally I can see some being balanced a bit.
1. For the starters hidden abilities too balance them they should all have a 30% or 50% to activate (still pretty op)
2. Hydro Power should definitely be a 1 stage increase
3. Gamble with time is stupidly overpowered and should be a 1 stage increase which is 33%, any more would make them near unkillable
4. Thunderstorm is awesome jsut wanted to point that out

[@CroneoRegion]

if this became a game, I'd probably take those on board

[@ProjectEchoshadow]

I’ve always had this idea for a Pokémon game where the in game information is limited because it takes place in the past so the types given are inaccurate like mechanically ot works the same but Pokémon of both rock and ground are just called stone type because whoever made the dex doesn’t know better. A mystic type for ghost psychic dragon and fairy.

[@librathebeautifulwarmonk1283]

That would be either really cool or a nightmare to deal with

[@ProjectEchoshadow]

@@librathebeautifulwarmonk1283 probably both.

[@ProjectEchoshadow]

New Pokémon ability idea: multi Hand can hold two held items. The usefulness of this ability is dependent on the creativity of the trainer ranging from pointless to game breaking

[@JayClearman411]

⁠@@ProjectEchoshadowcool let amibipom have it😉

[@anthonytonythegeek5561]

Gamble with time is a cool concept, and an interesting way of balancing it with the fact that they’re legendary Pokémon.

[@grrgrrgrr0202]

Spectre would be cool as a HA for the Rotom Appliances, with base Rotom getting Prankster on that slot.

[@dre99ignite]

I thought of a fighting type ability called Jab which gives priority to physical moves under 60 base power

[@2tontyler]

3:14 Imagine Blissey having this ability.

[@ServiperHater-un6uq]

Super cool abilities! How does Holiday Miracle effect the weakness to stealth rock? 4 times resistance?

[@CroneoRegion]

yup

[@user-hu5vy3xr2u]

Why don't you have an abilities that change the arena to night time that powers up dark type moves

[@CroneoRegion]

Thats oddly specific, what makes you ask that if I may ask?

[@BDAShadow1]

Max evasion is taking the piss.

[@aspiringwayfarer]

1:51 Calcify says “flying type” instead of “rock type”. Cool name for the ability though.

[@CroneoRegion]

I noticed this too late

[@aspiringwayfarer]

7:50 Isn’t that closer to Darmanitan’s ability zen mode?

[@CroneoRegion]

Either way it's not really entering a zen-like state so a new ability made sense

[@aspiringwayfarer]

@@CroneoRegion yea, I didn’t mean to reuse zen mode for that Pokémon. Just that when explaining what the new ability does, zen mode might help others to understand how it functions. 👍

[@CroneoRegion]

I'd need to double check if there's a subtle difference or not but thanks for pointing it out

[@That_One_Gaming_Guy]

Calcify says Flying-type. It's a minor mistake though I thought you should be aware of it.

[@CroneoRegion]

it has been pointed out before

[@endy7630]

Can you change Gamble With Time's name to Temporal Gambit? For no other reason than except it sounds cool?

[@CroneoRegion]

I'm gonna keep it as Gamble With Time for no other reason than it sounds cooler

[@endy7630]

@@CroneoRegion Dang it T^T

[@reddlight3632]

do these fake regions get turned into a game or is it just an artistic thing

[@CroneoRegion]

no current plans for a fangame

[@sevensavage9008]

Continue with the psuedo and legendary Pokémon of the region celestial types and changes from the secondary regional starters as well

[@CroneoRegion]

what are you on about?

[@sevensavage9008]

The third episode is moves stat changes in battle

[@CroneoRegion]

what are you on about?
