first of all, i want to tell you that someone has already done a post like this, and the mods were not very fond of it. I'd suggest trying to mix this up a bit and avoid it being a download clone.
Also, there's no mega dunsparce o.O

Also, there's no mega dunsparce o.O Alright I Changed The Ability And Even The Candidates. I was thinking I would help out the Defensive Pokemon With Under 100 Base Def. |

nice  i like the new gimmick. Only flaw i see is with the learners. I think that giving it to wall-like pokemon only and not pokemon with high attack is a little unfair of a choice. Most abilities are given to pokemon because of flavor. Let me give an example: Rock head is given to really strong headed pokemon right? rhyperior gets it and has only one recoil move. and lightning rod is given to pokemon with rods. The ability must make sense for the pokemon no matter how awful the pokemon is with it. also, why do these candidates get this? |

Alright So Ive Changed The Pokemon Who get It To Include Some Heavier Attackers And Some Pokemon That I Thought Would Make Sense To Have This Ability. I Also gave more detailed reasoning For Giving These Pokemon Abilities. |

Ok, so after seeing the reasoning, only 3 caught my eye at the "no" sensor. Let me tell you why. When we give abilities, we don't focus on making pokemon stronger with the abilities, we focus on what matches it, so the reasoning you gave solrock, lunatone, and swalot seems like they were given it for viability, which is what alot of us try to avoid.

I don't agree with Solrock, Lunatone, Swalot, Dragonite, and Armaldo. They seem kind of random. We have a sun, a moon, a stomach, a dragon, and a trilobite. They do not fit feel with the "aware" flavour of this ability. Also, add Krabby.

I think it would be better if you described it as:
This pokemon has its attack and Sp. attack reduced by one stage and its defense and Sp. Def increased by one stage as default.
Also, id suggest cave pokemon like sableye or Whismur.
Last but not least, if you said this ability can only affect pokemon with Timid or Careful nature your ab would have much more flavour.(my opinion)
PS.: Things are kinda slow at this forum these days, mods may take time to attend.

Giving it to Sableye is questionable but Whismur makes sense, however I cant give it to every pokemon that just so happens to have acute senses cause then I would be giving it to most dog like, cat like and bird pokemon. I can consider whismur for the ability and remove Bouffalant

Do Whismur, remove Bouffalant.

I think you should try and rework this as "When this pokemon switches in, its attack stats are lowered by 1 stage and its defense stats are raised one stage." Unless I'm completely misunderstanding the ability...

The ability is passive, Meaning its active at all times it does not activate on switch in.

I like the idea, but maybe keep this to strictly Fakemon? Idk.

Well I did it based on pokemons who's natural traits in the wild include being very cautious or alert, not 100% sure that I want to keep it to just fakemon. I will however meet you in the middle and remove some of the pokemon on the list that arent so susceptible to being cautious.

Looking to see if this ability gets approved. I've made adequate changes in regards to some requests and suggestions. If there is anything else please let me know, otherwise id like to get this one rolling along cause Ive got more abilities to try out.

Out of all those Pokemon you listed, only those of the Whismur line have less than abilities already. I agree with Salient, this would be better off Fakemon-exclusive, which it probably will be either way.
