About

Cobblemon has a sheer variety of abilities to spice up and even define battles, but have you ever noticed the few specific abilities that serve next to no purpose on your monster in a fight? That are too niche to ever activate like Damp? Or do absolutely nothing in battle at all like Honey Gather?

Well, no longer! this pack aims to make those useless abilities...Un-useless! And to give them a use that may not particularly be too powerful or broken, but make you think twice on what ability to choose for your Pokémon! And allow for some novel plays that may not have been possible prior!

As of now, 7 abilities have been modified to give them more purpose, more may be added later down the line. For support, feedback, and/or suggestions refer to the addon's conent-zone-help thread in the Cobblemon Discord server.
