Are there any new moves or abilities you'd like to see?

Personally, I'd like to see a physical version of Hidden Power. A lot of Pokémon can't take advantage of Hidden Power simply because they lack the Special Attack to use it.

Here are some abilities that I thought of:

Frozen Body: 10% chance the opponent will freeze when it makes physical contact.
Confidence: The Pokemon's Attack and Special Attack stat are multiplied by 1.5 when at full HP (effect wears off when Pokemon is not at full health)
Guardian: The Pokemon's Def and SpDef are multiplied by 1.5 when it has 1/2 of its health left.
Precise Aim: The accuracy of moves is boosted, but their power is reduced.
Cinder Siphon: All Fire type attacks are drawn to this Pokemon and heals 1/4 health from this effect.

I havent thought of it much but I think an ability in which you could see a wild Pokemon's nature would be of great use if you are trying to get a certain nature on a pokemon.

I would like to see more physical Ice Type moves. There aren't that many and most of them are good, but I want to see some more for possible Ice Tanks.

Yes, Ice Shard and Ice Fang and Ice Punch aren't enough.

I brought this up back when GEN V was coming out but how about some more type variations to Spikes and Stealth Rock?

Seriously it's just unbalanced how the still haven't come out with any.

I've always sort of wanted a grass type move that is the equivalent to thunderbolt/flamethrower (95 power, 100% accuracy, 15 PP) and the possible status effect being a chance to either poison or sleep (not both, but one of the two). Yeah there's energy ball, but that's just a cousin to shadow ball and I've always wanted a flamethrower/thunderbolt grass type cousin.

I'd like to see an equivalent to Belly Drum in a Max Defense sense. Like maybe a surgery move. The Pokemon is weaker because of the Surgery, but is patched up.

I personally wouldn't mind seeing either a move or ability that allows a pokémon to poison a steel-type opponent. Give this ability or move to pokémon like Muk, Weezing, Garbodor, etc- pollution Pokémon that are so acidic they melt through metal.

Some sort of special attack Explosion equivalent.

A couple more options for anti-entry hazards rather than just having rapid spin. A powerful blast of air, maybe?

A set of "combo" moves for double / triple battles, or moves that are designed for those types of formats. For example, perhaps a move to fly your ally into the air to escape a turn / being hit, or something.

Oh yeah, and a fighting move that paralyzes or has a chance to paralyze.

This isn't really a new move, but I would like it if they....de-nerfed Explosion. (I guess that's the right word for it) I didn't like how 5th gen took away that -50% opponent's defense side effect; it really weakened how well Explosion worked, especially since it's a sacrificial move.

Force Palm, bby.

Fire-type priority move. Hmm... Special Attack, I guess. I don't think there's a Steel move that hits multiple Pokemon at once yet. I mean one like Heat Wave, not Earthquake. So maybe that, too.
