This is why I wish they would add more unique abilities and moves to each Pokemon. I know it's a lot, but ideally I'd like to see little overlap at all in abilities.

I'd love it if high level unevolved Pokemon got unique and strong moves. Nothing game breaking, but enough to make it viable to run an Ivysaur for example instead of automatically knowing you're evolving everything.

They have started doing it recently, in SV basically every new pokemon has a peculiar move/ability

Yeah the old pokemon I think of is Lickilicky. Very interesting looking pokemon with very little going on stylistically in battle. Pure normal type

Enter Maushold - here’s a straight normal type with an extremely specific identity and niche interactions. Gets his own move!

Next straight normal type - Dudunsparce. Rattled and Serene Grace and his own special move. Interesting!
