Convergence 
Pokémon gain access to the abilities and Movepools of all Pokémon that share their typing. Moves that are converged can also be passed on through form changes. For example, Roaring Moon, Hydreigon [and Zwellious and Deino] are all of the Dark/Dragon types in the tier. Roaring Moon would gain access to Hydreigon's full Movepool in addition to it's own, while having the choice of Protosynthesis, Levitate or Hustle as ability options.
Rules:
Mechanic: Pokémon gain access to the moves and abilities of Pokémon that carry identical typings.
Banlist:
Abilities
Moves
Clauses: Standard OMs, Sleep Clause Mod, Terastal Clause, Min Source Gen=9, Converge Clause*
*Converge Clause - Prevents Pokémon from converging moves and abilities from banned and illegal Pokémon.
The ability to gain the moves and abilities of like-minded typings allows several already established threats to get new powerful tools, or grant new life into previously mediocre Pokémon who lacked the moves or abilities to perform.
Sample Sets:
Gogoat @ Toxic Orb
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD
Tera Type: Steel or Fairy
Ability: Poison Heal
Impish Nature
- Horn Leech
- U-turn
- Milk Drink
- Spikes / Leech Seed
Gogoat can be used as a defensive pivot and a status absorber, a rare trait in a metagame where status curing is impossible outside of items, while packing Spikes to force progress throughout the match, while U-turn always allows it to preserve momentum.
Garganacl @ Heavy Duty Boots
EVs: 252 HP / 252 SpD / 4 Def
Tera Type: Fairy or Water
Ability: Regenerator / Purifying Salt
Careful Nature
- Knock Off
- Spikes
- Salt Cure
- Recover / Will-O-Wisp / Rapid Spin
Garganacl can use the tools converged from Rolycoly (Spikes) and Klawf (Regenerator / Knock Off) and be a sturdy SpD Pivot that is impossible to halt progress against. Will O Wisp and Rapid Spin are also tools it can leverage but Recover is just too reliable to pass up, especially if you are still going with Purifying Salt.
