Given the amount of time between the approval of this Mod and the new generation, we’re gonna use this thread to test the mod’s limits and apply them to a completed generation 8 format before I bring the concept to a developing generation 9, where we’ll reset the roster and start anew.
Important Rules
1. The first step in Abilitypos is to modify a given ability. You will be provided with 3 abilities in any given slate, and in that slate you can only use those abilities.
2. You modify an ability by changing around some of the letters (up to half, rounded down) to create another coherent term. There may be exceptions where the name of an ability could have more than 1 meaning, and in that case you could submit an ability with the same name as its predecessor
3. After you changed the ability’s name, you must give it a new effect. Say you change Lightning Rod to Lightning Cod, so instead of absorbing Electric moves and getting a Special Attack boost, maybe Electric moves become Water moves and get a 1.2x attack boost.
4. Now that your new ability has a name and effect, you give it to one Pokémon that has the old ability. This will be the only ability they’re allowed to have, although you can submit the same Pokémon later if they have another slate’s ability. This is because…
5. You will now be modifying the Pokémon (stats, typing, moves) in order to better suit the new ability. For example, Seaking gets Lightning Rod, but no Electric moves, so if one were to give it Lightning Cod, it would need Electric moves to go with it, like Thunderbolt for damage or Thunder Wave for paralyzing Ground types. There’s a lot of free reign in this step, so please try to the best of your ability to keep it balanced.
Now voting’s gonna be a bit weird Let’s simplify it. For each category, you can vote for as many abilities as you want. Your first vote in a category is worth 3 votes, your second vote in a category is worth 2 votes, and everything after that is worth 1 vote. For every submission you get one point. You can vote for your sub second with one point, and you could vote for your sub first with two points. Giving your sub a vote in the later positions costs zero points.

Abilitypos
In this Pet Mod, your goal is to take an ability and change a few letters in its name to make it brand new. You then take your new ability, give it to a Pokémon with the old ability, and change its information (stats, moves, etc.) to better suit the new ability.
