NEW EEVEELUTION ABILITY:

Now confirmed by serebii, glaceon from the Dream World get Ice Body (like walreain) this could be VERY big for hail teams, comments?

Flareon:flame body?
Jolteon:static
Umbreon:um...IDK
Espeon:again, no idea
leafeon:IDK
 
Flareon: Flame Body
Jolteon: Lightningrod/Static
Umbreon: Frisk
Espeon: Anticipation
Leafeon: Solar Power/Chlorophyll
 
Id like them to get very useful abilities, Vaporeons new ability is ok but not amazing, so hopefully the other eveelutions will get something cooler, and better

GameFreak wouldn't be THAT nice unless they made an accident.
 
and now the kanto starters are getting new abilities. hers my guess: charmander-flash fire, squirtle-water absorb, and bulbasaur-herbivore(this is shikjika or however u spell it's ability)
 
I'm down for ability changes but I don't think Sturdy is gonna be all that impacting on the metagame. With Stealth Rock and Spikes all over the place, I doubt the new Sturdy will do anything other than give Skarmory another reason to be used as a lead.

In most instances it would be wiser to simply run and conserve your health rather than survive a fatal hit just because you can.

Vaporeon @ Hydration could be useful, but I like Water Absorb better. Same goes for Glaceon's Snow Cloak over Ice Body. That said, Ice Body is a good ability, so at least it's not, like, Keen Eye or something silly like that.

Re the Kanto starters... I don't really know, but they'll probably give them some ability associated with their element. I'm interested in seeing what Venusaur gets, mostly. Grass is a pretty bad attacking type, so he has little use for Overgrow. I suspect that whatever it is, it'll become the new standard.
 
Hmmm....I cant wait to see these, this sould make them more viable, if only infernape had flashfire or something :D

I can see all of them either getting old abilities or new ones, I dont think there will be a mix of them.

Flame Body/Chlorophyll/Swift Swim
