Discussion Next abilities?
Do we know of any future abilities that will come with the next DLC updates? Or what is an ability you’d like to see?
I was just thinking it would be cool to have an entropy ability that could change blocks into their weathered form. Maybe an enhancement of water gun, since water relates to erosion and such.

I know right.... fire pokemon already have enough to do with making bricks and ingots, and water pokemon are already useless from water gun and sprinklers, please just let me light stuff on my own!!

In rocky ridges I found the magby statue with a switch. I use that to light stuff up

I would love for magnet rise to allow me to pickup/remove multiple blocks without replacing.

I want to also be able to swap the other building materials with magnet rise! I get so frustrated that I can’t use swap for roof tiles, etc.

Powering electronics, bubbling sludge, and painting things ourselves would be pretty nice

-Powered-up Rototiller: till (or harvest) in an area instead of individual blocks
-Powered-up Magnet Rise: Destroy blocks in an area, increased movement speed
-Powered-up transform..?: Turn into unique formed Pokemon such as Smearguru or Chef Dente so you can paint your own items or start your own parties

Powered up transform would be dope cause that’s such a useless ability right now

I was gonna give the tired “I want to paint” response but now you’ve got me sold on entropy

I want 3 abilities.
1) Letting us paint things ourselves. For DLC part 2, give us another free update like the one that gave us Dive, but instead have Smearguru teach us Sketch (Smeargle's signature move) after we've painted a certain number of items and have completed all his quests. Sketch would let us paint things ourselves, but to keep Smearguru from becoming obsolete, we'd still need him for patterns and designs.
2) Powered up Magnet Rise. And by powered up, I mean let us destroy in a 3x3 square like how we can place and replace in a 3x3.
3) Powered up Dragonite. Sort of like how (DLC spoilers ahead) Lapras got powered up to be the optimal form of transportation underwater. When you unlock Magnet Rise, it kinda makes Dragonite obsolete, so a powered up Dragonite just literally being what powered up Lapras does but in air would be very likely for DLC part 3.

I would like some kind of CNTRL+Z to undo my last action. Some kind of rewind for when i accidentally placed 9 blocks not where I wanted them in Magnet form

Ughhhhh the worst. I’m holding ZL, why did the second square of 9 blocks move up a level!!

I’d like a consistent way to get seeds instead of relying on the game’s RNG systems or just cloning them. Pretty sure we can cut down berry trees and get seeds for those, why can’t we do the same with crops? Not really something inherently tied to abilities, but man it makes big farm builds take way longer than they should before they can be considered “done” because half the field can remain empty for days

If the devs really want to keep some mechanics tied to certain characters (painting etc) at the very least I’d want a way to set a pokemon as a favorite and summon them whenever I want. They can say it’s Follow Me or something

u/sanvarin 8h ago
I’d like to be able to teach Pokemon certain abilities. Nothing game breaking but being able to add gather to any Pokemon or litter would be cool. Having control over who was in your farms aesthetically over functionally would be nice for customization.

I am BEGGING the developers to let us paint things ourselves. One, because (unpopular opinion incoming) I just truly dislike Smearguru, I find their personality extremely grating and having to lug them around everywhere when I'm doing intense builds and dealing with their endless hunger and them constantly getting stuck or in my way drives me up the wall. Two, because there's no good reason that NO ONE ELSE except for them can do it, we should have an option to paint when crafting items, even if that's a late-game unlockable skill. Three, because I built them a nice studio in Sparkling Skylands, and they literally never get to live in it lol, since I'm always bopping around in different areas building new things.
I'd also like an enhanced Magnet Rise, with the ability to destroy multiple blocks at once instead of just replacing them (or, just allow us to use the "replace" feature without selecting a block, replacing existing blocks with nothing). Would also be great if they made it easier to tear down roofs on buildings, which is currently a major PITA.
Other than that, I can't really think of much? Maybe there can be an END game thing where, once you've completed the full Pokédex, reached environment level 10 in all areas, completed all the main quests and DLC quests, etc., you can learn specialties from other Pokémon, so that you can for example Grow or Burn or whatever else on your own. Probably contradicts a big part of the main message of the game lol, so I don't see it as very likely, but could be a neat idea.

Adding to your suggestions for enhanced magnet rise: being able to use the replace/place multiple of things like stepping stones, bridge planks, and roof tiles.

I love Smearguru, but YES, let me do the painting! I feel bad having to constantly go to them if I want things painted!

I want to be able to move the partial buildings that are scattered around, and would love to relocate the Silph Tower building.

You know which HM’s missing?
Flash.
How would it work? No idea, maybe you light up the area and that’s it? It can be more interesting maybe it’s an underground city that needs to be lit up with HM Flash?
Or a more useful ability could be fly + headbutt while flying to break multiple blocks in line mid air.

u/Royal_Redaction 3h ago
Peakychu basically does that

u/MithrilHuman 3h ago
Updated comment to add a more useful idea, fly + headbutt while flying to break blocks mid air faster in a straight line

u/Royal_Redaction 3h ago
Now that I can agree with. Turn Dragonite into a limited time Graveler in the Air, essentially. And since Graveler breaks Forward, and Lapras vertically, Dragonite should break multiple blocks horizontally, with Breaking Swipe

u/Weary_Egg558 3h ago
Either let ditto paint or give smearguru a jetpack. I'd if an ice-themed expansion let us convert water to ice, erode objects. Maybe apply protection to things we don't want to destroy?
