Explaining Every BANNED Ability In Competitive Pokémon (Gen 9 Almost Any Ability)

What if you could use any ability on a Pokémon? Aerialate Noivern, Regenarator Garchomp, Intimidate Corviknight, finally being able to replace the bad or mediocre ability with an incredible ability and create the strongest Pokémon you could think of. You can do that... kind of. Smogon has a very fun and creative format on Pokémon Showdown named Almost Any Ability. This mode is pretty much what the name implies, a format where you can use almost any ability on a Pokémon.
However as the name Almost Any Ability also implies, you cannot use every ability, because certain abilities are banned from the format. These are abilities are just too good and would make many Pokémon in the format to strong or annoying to deal with. Today we will be going over and explaining all the abilities that are banned in Gen 9 Almost Any Ability.
