Name: Guard Up
Existing Ability?: No
Effect: Upon switch-in, this Pokemon's Defense or Special Defense goes up by 1 stage depending on the opponent's higher attacking stat (Download clone).
Niche: Allows users of the ability to either wall the opposing Pokemon more easily or set up on them more easily thanks to taking less from their attacks. Kind of works like Intimidate, but it sticks around
Potential Pokemon With This Ability: Escavalier, Shelmet, Honedge and Doublade, Chespin line, All "cocoon" Pokemon excluding Whirlipede and Charjabug, Hitmonchan, Burmy and Wormadam, Gardevoir and Gallade
Name: Unarm
Existing Ability?: No
Effect: While this Pokemon is active, the opposing Pokemon is put under the effects of Embargo. Goes away when this Pokemon switches out.
Niche: Gives an actual use to Embargo by being able to neutralize the opponent's item for 5 turns, which could shut down a scarfer or shorten screens. I decided that using Embargo's effect would be better than using Magic Room as Magic Room can
only be used situationally to your own benefit.
Potential Pokemon With This Ability: Liepard, Banette, Sandile line, a bunch of other Dark-types.
Name: Dynamotor
Existing Ability?: No(t in this Pet Mod)
Effect: This Pokemon gains the effects of Charge on switch-in
Niche: Gives a huge one-time-per-switch-in boost to an Electric move, which allows the Pokemon to deal massive amounts of damage for one turn, possibly getting and otherwise impossible KO. Also, this does come from another Pet Mod, being
The Heart of the Cards.
Potential Pokemon With This Ability: Tynamo line, Shinx line, Charjabug, Blitzle line, Mareep line, Klink line
Name: Strong Jaw
Existing Ability?: Yes
Effect: Same effect as before, but it now applies to Bug Bite as well.
