Special Abilities

It's about time for Niantic to add special abilities to the game. This would make a wider range of Pokemon relevant. Some examples:

Porygon-Flex Typing: Outside of battle, typing could be switched between Normal, Move (where pory adopts the typing of his moveset), or Resist (Pory resists all attacks but does not benefit from STAB)

Abra/Kadabra/Alakazam-Teleport: Charges like a charge move, when used teleports the current opponent to the end of the battle sequence. The opponent is not defeated but comes out with the same HP it had when it was teleported. (It can only be dropped from the gym if it is eventually defeated.) On defense, if forces a switch if not dodged. The attacking trainer can switch back, if desired.

Gengar-Preemptive Speed: Starts each battle with 100 energy. Each time it faints a mon, it's energy is returned to 100. (While I am on Gengar, it is ridiculous that anything is more resistant than ghost-normal, normal-ghost. It should be .64 at most.)

Are there any other special abilities you would like to see; and how could they work in PoGo?

Niantic doesn't even give a damn about stats or even pokemon who has advantages from it's speed.

Abilities is a good way to utilize pokemon to it's fullest potential, and even create a better meta or for worse.

But in the end, niantic have to deal with its giant flaw first which is how to make other players who lives in rural places to stop using pokevision and stop banning people who use local coffee shops wifi. I mean WTF my friend got banned for using a WIFI? i mean what the hell is going on? Casual players getting banned while gps spoofers who casually taking gyms and prestige to lvl 10 overnight doesn't get banned?

In conclusion, niantic need to fix their game 1st before implementing anything else in the game. But that's just my opinion.
