My ability is called Hasten, what it does is if a move has 60 or under Base Power, then it gets a +1 Priority boost. This ability is designed for a pokemon I'm making that is a lightweight boxer. Thank you for looking at my ability and I hope you like it!
Flaver Text: These Pokemon have mastered there moves that their weak moves get a +1 Priority boost (Fake Out not included)

Sounds really cool! And I especially like the name. (Teehee) But I would like to know what other mons this could be used for

Sounds pretty cool, you could add that it removes status effects if an ability has one, so that low BP moves with good chances to inflict status effects don't get +Priority, otherwise it's innovative and sounds like it could work. Good job. n_n

Alright that sounds cool. But honestly I dont agree with Hawkie in the manner that it needs to nullify any status affects these less than 60 BP moves have since Technician doesnt. I don't think it would be overpowered, probably because a lot of less than 60 BP moves already do have priority.

Be careful of who you give this to. This can make for some very very good sweepers and giving this to a pokemon that has over good stats and you can be left with a devestating sweeper. Bullet seed/multi hit moves are going to be very popular with this ability. This is going to over centralize the meta if you have this given to a massive amount of pokemon so try to keep the number low.

In my opinion keep the number of mons who get this low. And in addition to the regular multi hit moves be careful about Gear Grind.

The mon I'm thinking of giving it to is a Little Mac-ish mon. Low SpA, Low Def/Low SpD, and High Atk/Spe with a limited boxing based movepool

I really like this ability; I think it's fairly innovative, and it could see some usage in conjunction with Power-Up Punch. Just don't give it to any Pokémon that get multi-hit moves, for obvious reasons.

Guys..... I just created +2 Bullet/Mach Punch I don't see what's wrong with that. I still think it is strange that only legi's and good Pokemon get extreme speed. Now they can get outspeed by something

King's rock comet punch flinch for days
Anyway I don't think a move with average base power of 54 will be a problem, and even the 25 base power ones only have an average base power of 75

Honestly I don't think multi-hit moves will even be that much of a problem. For example, Breloom gets Bullet Seed, but even with technician this isn't OP. It can get somewhat luck-based depending on the number of hits, but so long as the ability is distributed carefully I don't think one or two multi-hit moves would be a huge problem.

I think this is nice, but I want to knwo what gets it. Certain Pokemon could be OP with this.
Also consider a name change, I think this is kind of the easy way out.

I was thinking the name for this should be along the lines of 'Trained' or 'Disciplined' because when a boxer has practiced their punches over and over again they can pull them off very quickly. The distribution for this should be very small, if not just a signature Ability for your Fakemon.

The ability in general seems okay; I'd like it to be moves with below 60 power, not equal to or below for balancing reasons. Also, I don't like some of the Pokemon you included to get it, like the Machop line.

I added them because of the Boxer aspect Galom

As what others have been saying, the concept of giving priority is really cool, but as Galom mentioned, I'd keep it under 60. So consider maybe base 40 getting priority, so it would fit in right with mach punch and ice shard.

It's not really like technician at all though. The point of putting it to a lower bp is not to make it similar to technician, but rather to just cut down on the OPness of the ability as a whole, and to make the concept viable in competitive play.

but who said it must be for competitive play?? Also, the way I say it's like Technician is cause it boosts low BP attacks

It would just be an op ability in general if it was allowing bp 60 to move first. Allowing the move to be in-game would eventually cause it to leak into competitive play. Tech is unique because it also buffs nonprior moves, so the way I see it, prior is more valuable than doubling power. That's why the ability would be so broken. It would cause things like multihit moves to have priority, which would be more broken than tech.
