All this talk of Slaking reminded me of one thing:

- Ability Changer. If this works for Slaking as well, we've got ourselves a new uber .

How does this ability changer work?

I assumed it just let you change the ability of the pokemon to another that the pokemon can learn.  Not just any ability, only the ones it can normally get.

Like you can't teach Slaking anything cause he only has one ability.

But you could change Abomsnow to either Snow Warning or Soundproof, nothing else.

and so on.

I just thought htis ability changer would be a great thing to have if you wnated to change your pokemon ability withouth resorting to finding a new one or breeding or whatever.  Like say you find a shiny pokemon, but it has a shitty ability on it.  This thing lets you fix that.   Now if they just let you somehow change a pokemon's nature as well then its all good and you can LEGIT get a shiny of the kind you want and it won't look sketchy seeing a shiny pokemon with not only the right ability but the perfect nature to go with it.

So far it is a rumour, it was only based on a single pic that a leaker posted over at GAF and we've heard nothing more about it since then. Might have even been a fake. 

Still, if it does exist, your version of it is probably the most likely one, seeing that it would probably allow us to change between normal and DW ability (since there's no longer DW for X/Y). 

Nature changer would be boss, that would make breeding also much more manageable, as you'd only have to count in IVs for parameters.
