"How every ability could work in PoGo: Bulbasaur-Dugtrio"

#PokemonGO: Frequently, when gen 3 is discussed, so are abilities as abilities are integral to the balance of many Pokemon in the gen. But many argue that adding abilities would be way too much as it would require a speed stat, status effects, stat changes, etc. I propose a looser adaptation of every ability. This list proposes my ideas for the abilities possessed by the first 51 Pokemon. There is also the matter of hidden abilities to attend to. In the core series games, HAs were only obtainable through events, breeding, the Entree Forest, Hidden Grottos, Horde Encounters, or SOS battles. I propose the Pokemon from eggs and Raid Bosses have a 10% chance of having an HA. Additionally, Pokemon from nests could have a small chance of having an HA. This fits with the idea of hordes and specific locations. To work, my ability suggestions would require stat changes. I believe this is entirely possible because Ditto already changes its base Attack and Defense but not Stamina when it enters battle, indicating to me that Niantic is perfectly capable of having Pokemon's base stats temporarily change mid-battle. They would also require Pokemon's moves to change based on external factors (not mid-battle) to have different animation times and or base damage. Lastly, it would require that Pokemon with different abilities have their type effectiveness interactions directly modified.Overgrow: This Pokemon's Grass type moves do 10% more damage.Chlorophyll: This Pokemon's Grass type moves have their animation time and energy gain reduced by 50%.Thick Fat: This Pokemon gains +1 resistance to Fire and Ice.Blaze: This Pokemon's Fire type moves do 10% more damage.Solar Power: If this Pokemon is in the same party or gym as a Grass type Pokemon, its base HP is reduced by 10% but its base Attack is increased by 15%.Tough Claws: This Pokemon's moves that have "Claw" in their name do 20% more damage.Drought: This Pokemon gains +1 resistance to Water attacks.Torrent: This Pokemon's Water type moves do 10% more damage.Rain Dish: If this Pokemon is in the same gym as a Pokemon with Drizzle, its motivation decay is halved.Shield Dust: This Pokemon takes no additional damage from moves boosted by abilities.Run Away: This Pokemon automatically leaves the gym if its motivation drops below half.Compound Eyes: Dodging this Pokemon's moves only reduces damage by 50%.Tinted Lens: This Pokemon's Super Effective Multiplier is increased to 60%.Swarm: This Pokemon's Bug type moves do 10% more damage.Adaptability: This Pokemon's STAB Multiplier is increased to 40%.Keen Eye: This Pokemon's STAB attacks can't be dodged.Tangled Feet: While this Pokemon is buddied, is has a 50% chance to unearth a hidden Caterpie or Weedle every time it finds a candy.
