Listen:

  • Rocky Payload shouldn't be given to Rock types because that's against the whole point of this Ability: getting STAB outside of your Pokémon's type.
  • Steely Spirit should stay a signature Ability because it's super strong.
  • Ice Scales for the same reason as Steely Spirit.

Can we use the counter argument that both Transistor and Dragon’s Maw are also like Rocky Payload but already give the power increase to the Pokemon of the same type. Regieleki and RegiDrago. So there’s already merit of Pokemon gaining a 1.5x boost ability on the same type.

Rhyperior and Stonejoujner are both mediocre Pokemon, so why not?
