Surf and Hydro Pump should get the flinch chance Waterfall has; their lack of secondary effect has always been weird.

okay well, this is just no. Waterfalls main issue is that its 80 bp, which compared to 90 bp and especially 120 bp, is weaker. Stuff like gyarados is already infamous for flinching down its checks, and at the very least we now have liquidation to dissuade waterfall being used+not having as large as a physical water type movepool. Having a Keldeo clicking Hyro Pump into a check only to flinch does not sound fun.
Also surf has some niche secondary effects. The more common one is it hits all adjacent pokemon, and less common, it hits diving pokemon. Hydro Pump is fine as is, water is already a stupidly good typing and it having 80% accuracy is unique among the 110 special attacks (those being fire blast, blizzard, hurricane and thunder).

No comments on the other points, those I'm mostly fine with.

Hydro Pump has 110 BP, and a 10% flinch chance in those moves wouldn't really be more gamechanging than Flamethrower burning 10% of the time, or Ice Beam FREEZING 10% of the time.

I, personally, am absolutely fine with Sableye being locked out of an evo. We really don't need a fat Prankster user with a good movepool and only one weakness.

Plus Mega Sableye was already one of the best Megas in ORAS, to the point it got banned. Why would you functionally buff it lol.

With Megas coming back to Champions I def won’t worry about that.

However, unless GF gets careless on balancing that out, in an event that Sableye get a new evo (more likely via a regional variant), it may not keep Prankster after evolving, but instead likely to be either a speedy sweeper or a bulky wallbreaker of sorts so the two have distinct roles. (That goes to fangames that don’t use Megas, too.)
