Can we have all the abilities in one answer? That way people don't have to look in multiple places.

Answer 2

Excellent question! I did some research and this is what I came up with...

Arena Trap, Illuminate, No Guard: more likely to encounter wild Pokemon
Quick Feet, Stench, White Smoke: less likely to encounter wild Pokemon
Sand Veil: less likely to encounter wild Pokemon, if you are in a sandstorm
Snow Cloak: less likely to encounter wild Pokemon, if you are in a snowstorm

Static: more likely to encounter Electric-type Pokemon
Magnet Pull: more likely to find Steel-type Pokemon in the wild
Intimidate, Hustle, Keen Eye, Pressure, Vital Spirit: increases the chance of encountering a higher-level Pokemon

Compoundeyes: more likely to encounter Pokemon holding an item
Synchronize: 50% chance of encountering a Pokemon with the same nature
Cute Charm: 66% chance of encountering a Pokemon with the opposite gender

Sticky Hold, Suction Cups: higher chance of getting a bite when fishing
Pickup: the Pokemon may pick up items
Honey Gather: Pokemon may pick up honey
Flame Body, Magma Armor: halves the number of steps needed to hatch an egg

Thanks. It´s even greater answer than I expected:)

I would like to add Synchronize to this list as it makes any encountered Pokemon the same nature as the ability holder.

...it's already on there.

Oops, sorry, didnt notice it lol

Huh, I thought there were more over-world affecting abilities.

Intimidate and keen eye give you a chance of completely preventing an encounter with a low level Pokemon. Hustle, pressure, and vital spirit give you a chance of raising the level of a wild Pokemon you're about to encounter.
Illuminate, immunity, pickup, and stench are the only abilities that had field effects in RS and FRLG. Most of these other abilities gained their field effects in Emerald.
