Yesterday I saw this thread while searching for Meowscarada posts on this subreddit, and thought that it was a shame that it would never find use for its Special moves in competitive.

So I decided to theorycraft a Mega Meowscarada that, instead of getting pre-nerf Protean as an Ability like many people suggest, I tried creating an Ability that transforms Meowscarada into a mixed attacker (as well as defender). This makes Meowscarada a very versatile Pokémon, allowing it to have several different builds. Some examples:

- Bulky, with HP investment and Giga Drain.
- Mixed Attacker, with any combination of Leaf Storm, Knock Off, Play Rough, Aura Sphere, Shadow Ball, Chilling Water, Triple Axel...
- Support, making use of moves like Pollen Puff, Ally Switch or even Skill Swap if it ends up afflicted by a status condition, or if it wants to cripple a Special Attacker or Special Wall by forcing them to use their useless stats.

It also gives the usually neglected Misty Terrain some value, preventing Mega Meowscarada from being afflicted with status conditions.

Edit: We try again next Thursday!

The idea for this was simple: Create signature moves for the starter Pokémon that either didn't have one or lost the exclusivity of theirs (Leaf Blade, Blaze Kick, Heat Crash, Water Shuriken, Spiky Shield, and Mystical Fire have other users, and some of them are better, let's be honest).

Taking modern gen 9 powercreep into account and some degree of early-gen favoritism that applies beyond gen 1, I ended up coming up with these, and some of them may be a bit ridiculous, but I accept that. Hope you like them!

As the post says Terastallizing to each type gives a new unique effect like a sorta of ability. If these were real, would you consider using any Tera Typing over the others, or do you have any possible combinations in mind to use these well?
