I would love for pikachu to have an amazing ability

[Blue Dragon]

I have recently obtained the special DW Banette with the Cursed Body ability. I have always loved this Pokemon, but never found a useful niche for it in my competitive parties.

However with this new ability it actually can be a tricky Pokemon to battle against if used the right way. I use it as a priority attacker with a few bag of tricks like Curse, Shadow Sneak, Thunder Wave and Sucker Punch and with this new added ability it certainly leaves it's mark.

There are other abilities I find useful as well like Swift Swim and Prankster.

I like Quagsire's unaware ability. I use him all the time online. Effective against Pokemon like Gyarados, Dragonite, etc. whom try to stat up. Quagsire is a lot like Swampert, but in some ways, better. Quagsire has Recover and higher health IIRC.

I especially enjoy abusing Moxie; a couple of my favorites got it via Dreamworld. ;D Chlorophyll/Sand Rush is prett aweseome as well.

Edit: Forgot about Magic Guard and Mold Breaker as well. ;o

I like cloud nine. My Golduck destroys weather based teams while she's out.

I like many of the new abilities:

Moxie: Mainly for scarfed Salamence. When teams are weakened, I can usually sweep with it, as after a few moxie boosts, it doesn't matter if your Pokemon resist Dragon moves.

Storm Drain: That got a lot more useful in gen 5, especially with Gastrodon.

Magic Bounce: That's helpful when you don't have a hazard setter, as most other people have them.

Multiscale: It makes Dragonite hard to take down in one shot, even with Ice moves.

Prankster: Makes some things very annoying to face, like Sableye

Regenerator: That's helpful for certain Pokemon to maintain their presence throughout battles, like Slowbro and Mienshao.

I love Magic Bounce. Such a troll ability, but Prankster is even worse. XD
Of them all, I'm liking Unaware most.
