What if more Pokémon incorporated their lore into their gamestyle? Leave your ideas!

You know, Ditto detransforming from tickle; lickitung and lickilicky learning lick and more things, like Dialga messing the timer during online battles, Palkia sometimes turning the screen upside down, etc.

I though about Cresselia having a personal ability called Sweet Dreams, the opposite of Darkrai's Bad Dreams.

Sweet Dreams: At the end of each turn, each adjacent sleeping ally gains 1/8 of its maximum HP.

Not necessarily good, but it makes sense with Cresselia.

Sending out most fire type pokemon means that the battlefield immediately bursts into flames.

Pokemon which are prey without offense-defense measurements will not attack their predators or other prey.

Predatory pokemon (especially those who prey on humans) may attack their trainers.

You have a slew of dex entries like shedinja, spoink, and kartana that may be fatal to you or the pokemon in question

I guess pokemon can die as well, there is that ghost tower. I guess if your pokemon take enough concussions from being beaten senseless by your friend/archnemesis's gorilla, it will die.

This was once discussed as a possible metagame. Victini was an instant win (see its Pokedex entry), resulting in an instant ban for being way too OP.
