Premise: You can put a Pokemon in a moveslot (Pokemove) that will have 8PP, 100Acc, the same type as the Pokemon's primary type, as much power as the highest stat between Atk and SpA with the corresponding category, and finally, as an effect it gives the primary ability until you switch out.
Example:
Let's use Bulbasaur as an example. It is a Grass/Poison type with 45/49/49/65/65/45 stats with the abilities Overgrow and Chlorophyll.
The Pokemove "Bulbasaur" will be a Grass-type special move with 65 base power that will give the Pokemon that used it Overgrow together with its regular ability until it switches out. It also has 100% accuracy and 8 PP.

Strategy
Here is a spreadsheet containing pages with Pokemon and Pokemove information. If you want to sort the Pokemoves or do other processing, you need to copy the data onto your own spreadsheet.
One idea is to use Pokemoves whose abilities complement the Pokemon that is using them. However, the moves might have an unhelpful type, category, or base power. Other times, a weaker Pokemon might just need some coverage to give it a powerful offensive presence. Here, the ability doesn't matter as much as the typing, category, and base power, but should be kept in mind as not all abilities have an effect on the moveset. The trade-off between how strong of an ability is gained and how of a move is gained must be balanced when choosing a Pokemove.
For defensive Pokemon, adding defensive abilities such as Fur Coat, Regenerator, or Unaware are the best ways to keep up with the high offensive nature of this metagame. Since, these kind of Pokemon don't really care about the typing or base power of the move, they can easily fit the Pokemoves that grant these abilities.
