Feedback and suggestions for changes to above abilities

• Allure
  • Instead of raising the encounter level of opposite gender Pokémon, it could raise the encounter rates for rare Pokémon (5% becomes 10%, etc.).
  • Doubles encounter rate of same-type Pokémon
    • Does not sound programable
  • Also increase encounters overall, like Illumination
  • Add part "Cute Charm" instead of lowering evasion

• Brave Heart
  • Raise Special Attack instead.
  • Decreases the priority of opponents' status moves.
  • 50% chance to negate a status effect

• Discretion
  • attacks that miss still deal half damage.

• Full Force
  • Negates the crit chance of moves but increases damage 10%.
  • Moves base power 60 or less have a guarenteed 50% chance of critical (comperable to Technician if my math is right)

• Full Force
  • Powers up moves with lowered accuracy

• Malice
  • Raises bearer's Attack when the target has a status condition.
  • Dark and Ghost type attacks gain priority.
    • COMPLETELY different ability

• Novice/Expert
  • decrease Exp gain, increase EV gain.
  • Negates STAB if the Pokémon knows any non-STAB moves/Doubles STAB if the Pokémon only knows STAB moves.
  • All non-super effective attacks have a multiplier of .9/Expert Belt on an ability

• Overshadow
  • Make it only affect Attack, but doesn't only trigger when switching in.
  • If it proves to be too OP, could be only when he is twice as big as the opponent

• Pollution
  • Badly poisons Grass-, Bug- and Water-types on contact, like a more concentrated Poison Point.
    • More like a completely different ability

• Siphon
  • Boosts the power of absorbing moves.
  • All absorbing moves absorb 75% of the damage dealt.
  • Big root on an ability
  • All non-absorbing contact moves restores 25% of the damage dealt
