    I'm a huge fan of the Simple ability. Doubled stat changes are absolutely amazing in combination with calm mind or swords dance. I can set up a Pokémon to sweep an entire team in just one turn if my Pokémon has Simple.

    Prankster and Sturdy are, I think,my two favorite abilities. Prankster is just so much fun with status moves (turn 1 Taunt, turn 2 Will-o-Wisp XD) and Sturdy allows you the chance to give one big "screw you" before they faint. Like Explosion. XD

    I looooove using tinted lens. Its such a shock factor when that bug beats the fire type and stuff, you get a wtf followed by forfeit and its beautiful.

    Protean. have you ever tried Kecleon? It is really a machine >.<

    I like Aerilate and Pixilate too they create an insanity amount of damage.

    And my other favorite is Adaptabilty. All the Pokémon will it are incredibly powerful :D

    Protean is probably one of them, it's just a good, useful ability that makes Greninja a literal beast. That STAB boost is incredibly useful and being able to change your type is very awesome indeed.

    I am rather fond of Mold Breaker. It is really nice being able to nullify other abilities naturally.

    I'm a big fan of abilities that make a Pokémon resistent to certain moves, things like levitate and bulletproof, I really like those.

    I like the Normal move type changing Abilities, like Pixilate, Aerilate and Refrigerate a lot :) Other than that, Competitive is also really cool!

    I love a lot of abilities, but because the list is too long, I'll name a few: Analytic, because of that attack boost on slow Pokémon, prankster because priority destiny bond and clear body due to anti-crippling.

    How about an ability that helps you ignore status and/or indirect damage.
    Magic bounce and magic guard much?

    Moxie and Mold Breaker are both cheating beyond all belief. Mold Breaker can totally nullify abilities and Moxie raises your attack with every kill. That's GG right there.

    Prankster and Magic Bounce. Not gonna lie, but Gen V introduced some of the best abilities.

    Dry Skin. It simply works! And completely rules out the chance of being floored by a full HP Water Spouting Primal Kyogre. I generally like other abilities that likewise soak up particular typed moves such as Volt Absorb and Flash Fire. It only gets even better when the Pokémon with the ability gets granted a stat increase.

    Mold Breaker because it helped my Pokémon to OHKO the Pokémon with Sturdy.
    And any Abilities that have an effect on the opponent that contacted my Pokémon. (Static, Poison Point, Rough Skin, etc.)
    Because they can be used to protect my Pokémon that has low defend.

    I love abilities that raise the power of certain moves such as Sheer Force and Protean, or negate certain negative effects, like Rock Head. I always find those types of abilities incredibly fun.

    Huge power takes the cake for me. There's absolutely nothing like a doubled attack stat.

    ... Well, protean may also be a contender. STAB on every move is pretty intimidating.

    I absol-utely (I MADE A PUN) love the ability Magic Bounce. There's nothing more satisfying than when an opponent's status move harmlessly bounces off, giving that effect back to the user.
