Weather/Terrain-setting abilities are already extremely powerful, and this is just that but it also makes them hit higher Atk/SpA than the Mega Mewtwos (and that's not even factoring in the boost from the environment)

Gliscor before without poison heal, was good just in gen 4 ou, and not even that. Flareon is still useless even with guts. Same goes for Luxray. Breloom, without poison heal, is just good for nothing. The real problem is giving broken abilities to broken Mons. Like unaware on Dondonso

  • This is just an old ability from when Megas were in meta, but do ya'll remember Mega Rayquaza's Delta Stream? It summoned "Strong Winds" which was active so long as Rayquaza was on the field, completely removed the weaknesses of electric, ice, and rock it and other flying types had, couldn't be replaced via most abilities or moves, and the two abilities able to bypass it were Cloud Nine and Air Lock (both of which are abilities meant to suppress the weather). Not even Mold Breaker could bypass it. I am /so/ glad that this crazy son of a gun got banned. Edit: Why tf did it take me so long to realize I put flying twice?

    • I mean, it only halved the Super-effective damage dealt to Flying-type Pokemon. I think it still left Rayquaza with a x2 weakness to ice as a result of being a Dragon-type. If anything, I was disappointed other Pokemon didn't get access to the "Strong Winds" weather as it seemed like a neat take on a weather.

    • Whilst the ability was great and helped keep Mega Ray alive, the biggest reason for Mega Ray's bustedness was simply because he didn't need no mega stone to mega evolve. You could slap a choice item on him, you could give him life orb, you could give assault vest if you were feeling spicy.

  • 13:56 Speed boost is one of those bosted abilities. In singles it can make a pokemon uber worthy. The only reason why it has almost never seen usage in doubles is because there are no speed boost pokemon who are good in doubles (blaziken, scolipede, yannega and ninjask) (Also, maybe a change to as one could be to boost special defense and defense respectively instead of offensive stats)

  • Tbh the biggest powercreep in abilities is just the fact insane abilities are now being put on already insane mons. Whereas weather setting abilities were put on pretty mediocre mons(minus Groudon and Kyogre but they're restricted legendaries) terrain abilites were introduced on pretty strong legendaries and only later thrown onto (mostly) shit low tiers(tbf both Indeedee and Rillaboom have been strong but only Rillaboom would have been somewhat strong without a surge ability). Intimidate was only one either low stat mons, mons that aren't great defensive supports and would rather be frailer offense, or Arcanine who is pretty good. Then gen 7 adds it to a pretty bulky support juggernaut in Inceneroar and they become the most used Pokemon ever for several formats. Moxie was usually on decently strong mons but ones that often had other strong abilities like the 5-ish lines with Moxie and Intimidate, or were Pyroar who is a special attacker. Then they added different moxie(beast boost) to pretty strong Ultra Beasts and objectively better moxie(as one) to the insane Calyrex forms. Why. Even Prankster went from being a great ability on a complete list of shit tier mons(minus Tornadus and Thundurus Incarnate who were and are really good) and then they added Grimmsnarl who admittedly has an offensive aligned bst but is still a mon with a bst that isn't completely awful.
