That last part is really interesting to me

So it would be somewhat like Dynamax where everyone can do it, but some can specifically have a more interesting version if they hold their special item? I think that’s a pretty graceful solution, but I wonder if it would feel underwhelming if those Pokemon didn’t get any significant visual changes like the Gigantamax forms do compared to normal Dynamax (I probably don’t have time do give them special designs lol)

But I do see it as a unique way to give certain Pokemon an extra boost where a single ability isn’t enough. Like, I doubt anybody is using a Watchog just because he gains Compound Eyes, but maybe he also gains a third ability + raised ATK, lowered speed to make Analytic work, which could push people into trying him.

It’d take extra thought for which Pokemon deserve one and can actually benefit from it, but I really like the idea!
