Hello everyone! I made this thread because I want to see what abilities do you hate, what abilities you think are the worst and / or what abilities you think is the wierd in ALL Pokemon games!
My opnion of the wierdest ability: Blaze. I think this is the wierd ability in pokemon because of this:
Games: When the Pokemon has 1/3 of health, it gains x1.5 power to fire type moves.
Anime: When the Pokemon has low health, it gains x100 power to fire type moves!
My opnion of the worst ability is: Magnet pull. And the reason is: There is Shadow Tag in this world. and, there are only 48 steel types ( Includes Mega evolved Pokemons ).
 
Worst ability is- Truant. The opponent can easily use protect on the pokemon's attacking turn and when the pokemon is lazy, the other pokemon can hit (as shown in the nuzlocke comic.)

wierdest ability- I agree with you blaze is weird, and so are the other grass and water type for blaze (I forgot their name.)

The starter abilities are useful revenge kill offence boosting abilities.
Illuminate- does nothing in battle but works on the field
Big Pecks (neat name ftw)- is just a worse version of Clear Body. I'll take any other ability the Pokemon has rather than this one
Color Change- A really silly ability. I guess GF wanted to be experimental in Gen 3
Traunt- it literally has no usefulness outside Smogon breaking the rules with Entrainment
Defeatist- useless negative ability again
Forecast- strange Gen 3 ability (Castform form change)
Honey Gather- only useful in the field
Heavy Metal- can be negative against Pokemon with Low Kick or Grass Knot but it's actually useful with Heavy Slam or Heat Crash (if even possible to have Heat Crash and this ability)
Hyper Cutter- Just like Big Pecks but with Attack
Illusion- Just a strange ability with some gimmicky usefulness
Keen Eye- Useless in Smogon rule sets
Klutz- another useless ability unless used with entrainment
Light Metal- does opposite of Heavy Metal
Minus and Plus- I never would use it especially if the only Pokemon that can use this are grounded electric types

I'd say the weirdest ability is is probably klutz or whatever that one is where you can't use your hold item. I've seen some Audinos with that ability and then they use a move which gives you the ability it has and it's really annoying to have on your pokemon. I don't think I hate any ability though. Just that some are more annoying than others

Slow Start, Traunt, and Simple :p Slow Start and Traunt makeup for great power I guess :p I guess with great power comes horrible abilities :p Regigias is in NU so sad but ability is literally the worst :p Gyro Ball would work well with it but it doesn't have it sadly.

I guess that of all the abilities , Traunt might as well be the worst of all ;-; I also find the starter abilities Blaze , Torrent and Overgrow pretty useless in my opinion since it is really not much so useful in most cases . A different ability for a starter might be really cool T.T

I think the worst ability is Truant. I mean, yes, it does prevent Slaking from being OP, but Durant has it? Why?

The weirdest ability to me is self-explanatory:

Actually, If you will buy Poke Bank for 1 year until September you will get 3 last evolved starter pokemons with special ability ( Feraligtr, Meganium and Typhlosion ). There are other event you can do, like what I does. When I mean that, I want to say Serperior, Samurott and Emboar. You can also get hidden ability starters if you are lucky ( I think ).

Because I didn't knew about Klutz I think this is the worst ability.

Klutz. My loppuny has this ability, and it drives me mad, even though it's not a competetive loppuny i'm talking about.. it's just a stupid ability. unless your opponent has trace and isn't a mega gardevoir.

Truant. Sure, it may be justified for Slaking's 670 Stat total, but, what about Durant? Durant gets Truant as its HIDDEN ABILITY. Its hidden ability actually makes it weaker. I don't know what the people in charge of gameplay were thinking at the time they did this, or why they even went along with it.
