Ever since i first started playing pokemon seriously in gen 5, i learned about the OOB (Out Of Battle) ability usage of 2 particular abilities that don’t currently work in PMMO. From what i remember when playing and shunting in gen 8, there are now 6 abilities (2 of which are dittos of eachother) that increase the rate of certain typings depending on what ability the lead pokemon is. The abilities in question are as followed:
Magnet Pull: Increases the likelihood of Steel Type Encounters
Flash Fire: Increases the likelihood of Fire Type Encounters
Harvest: Increases the likelihood of Grass Type Encounters
Storm Drain: Increases the likelihood of Water Type Encounters
Static/Lightning Rod: Increases the likelihood of electric type encounters
The addition of these OOB abilities would help tremendously not only in terms of finding a specific Pokemon for Pokedex Completion but for shiny hunters as well. Being able to increase the likelihood of a certain type of Pokemon spawning can likely decrease the chance of phasing on a particular shiny that wasn’t the intended target. even with 1/30000 odds of finding a shiny, it can still be troublesome when you go way over odds just to get the non-intended shiny. this can motivate more people especially newer players to go for rarer hunts.
(Hi, Thank you for reading this far if you have. this is my first post so sorry if this looks a bit scuffed. I am also posting this on mobile because it was a late night thought i had a couple of times already so i figured id might as well shed some more light for these particular abilities to be implemented.)
