A trick to boosting a Status Ability? Example: Poison Touch?
I was battling with Lacey of the Elite Four of the BB Academy, I was fighting against Grandbull and Whismicott, Against my Muk and Nintails.
Muk has a Poison Point ability which grants a 20% chance of the victim being poisoned by a physical attack, so I did that. Ice punched the sheep thing, poisoned, swapped my Ninetails to my Blissy, and started spamming Heal pulse to see how long it survived.
After that excruciating battle, and having the Whismicott still suffering,I am wondering if it’s possible to boost up an ability to always land a status condition (Ex: Poison Touch - 20% of the victim being poisoned from physical contact) or if such a thing exists.
Is it possible to Boost Poison Touch (Or any ability with Status conditions) To land a 100% or below higher than 100%?

An Ability that grants a status chances can not be increased by any meansbut can supported by the following.
If your ability is Poison touch you can use another move that grants the same effect. They will independently work from one another. So it wont be 50/50 but do two checks for both!
If you use a multi hit move like double slap and the such you can try your luck again and again. It just increases your likelihood but not the chances.
For your situation I would use a status move instead such as toxic and not rely on Poison Touch as it grants POI and not TOX (Or regular and badly) then giving Muk the ability stench as it would add a chance to flinch with their contact moves!
