But glare is a paralysis move.

Flavourmons: what if you took the flavor text literally? (no OHKO or Auto-Win effects)

That's. That's exactly my point.
Yeah, but Glare already gives a chance of pokemon not moving, so youre not changing anything.
Absol:
Pokemon Ruby: Every time Absol appears before people, it is followed by a disaster such as an earthquake or a tidal wave. As a result, it came to be known as the disaster Pokemon
Absol gets Earthquake and Surf
Pokemon X: It senses coming disasters and appears before people only to warn them of impending danger.
Absol gets Forewarn as an ability
Suiciune:
Pokemon Silver: This Pokémon races across the land. It is said that north winds will somehow blow whenever it appears
Whenever Suiciune switches in, it sets Tailwind up automatically, which lasts for 4 turns instead of 5 like the auto-weather abilities
Quagsire:
Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire: Quagsire hunts for food by leaving its mouth wide open in water and waiting for its prey to blunder in unaware. Because the Pokémon does not move, it does not get very hungry.
Quagsire gets an abillity like Iron Barbs that only works on Water-Types and does 1/4 to your max HP instead of 1/8

Absol shouldn't get surf or EQ, those are followed by it; perhaps a team must have those moves if the team has an absol
B/W:
it appears from deep in the mountains to warn people about upcoming disasters it has sensed with its horn.
Absol should get dig
How about a ground/water type future sight on entry?
I think that Forewarn as an ability makes sense. Its new abilities are Forewarn, Pressure, and Justified, all for flavor reasons. Forewarn because it Forewarns people of disaster, Pressure because it pressures people to act, and Justified because it is on the good side.
This looks good. Doesn't mess with game mechanics like my suggestion.
Froakie:
X: It secretes flexible bubbles from its chest and back. The bubbles reduce the damage it would otherwise take when attacked.
Froakie takes 75% normal damage from all attacks.
Y: It protects its skin by covering its body in delicate bubbles. Beneath its happy-go-lucky air, it keeps a watchful eye on its surroundings.
Froakie's accuracy may not be lowered. Its foes are always under the effect of Miracle Eye.

Well we are dealing with Froakie, not Frogadier or Greninja.
To compare Froakie's new bulk to Greninja:
4 SpA Serperior Giga Drain vs. 4 HP / 0 SpD Greninja: 170-204 (59.4 - 71.3%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
4 SpA Serperior Giga Drain vs. 4 HP / 0 SpD Froakie: 184-217 (82.1 - 96.9%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
It would make more sense that froakie would take less damage from moves that make contact, and how about froakie's accuracy cannot be lowered, forgetting the miracle eye thing
I think tidal waves and earthquakes are just sample disasters, and they don't reflect the flavor of his typing
The buff only applies to Froakie, who is still weaker everywhere than Greninja. I suppose that first bit is flavor.
I think the Miracle Eye thing is a good idea, because it give a reason to run Froakie over Greninja.
We decided upon simply allowing Absol to get the ability forewarn.
Which. Is. My. Point.
What I'm saying is, there's no reason to make changes to mechanics when they already line up with the flavor text.
Volcanion's Recently leaked Dex entry:
"It expels its internal steam from the arms on its back. It has enough power to blow away a mountain."
Instantly OHKOs/forces Rock types to switch out.

1. Next person to suggest an ohko effect gets punched in the face.
2. DO NOT USE UNCOMFIRMED ENTRIES.
Do not use leaked entries. We don't even fucking know entirely 100% if volcanion is even real, only diance has been officially confirmed.
With all the screenshots flowing around and multiple evidence of him existing, there's no way it can be fake. But anyway, alright.
It could be all faked.
Anyways, time for more contributions:
Rampardos:
Pearl: Its skull is as hard as iron. It is a brute that tears down jungle trees while catching prey.
Rampardos has Rock Head as an ability.
No. That is what we in the industry call monopoly. You should not need one specific Pokemon for no reason other then an entry on every team to win. This is Victini all over again.
