Welcome to Shared Power!
In this OM, your team's abilities are all active at the same time. That means if you have a Durant with Hustle and a Doublade with No Guard, your Crawdaunt would have Hustle and No Guard in addition to its Adaptability. This concept was hugely popular last generation but at the same time, it was extremely broken. The original aspect of sharing remains the same, however, your team starts with no abilities shared and it builds up whenever a Pokemon becomes active. If you lead with a Pokemon that has Fluffy, for example, Fluffy is now shared. A turn later you switch to a Pokemon with Ice Scales, Fluffy is still active and now Ice Scales is added to the Shared Power. This builds up until all 6 abilities are active at the same time!

FAQ
Q: What happens when a Pokemon faints? Does its ability continue to support the rest of the team?
A: Yes. Incineroar will still continue to share Intimidate, even after it faints. This is to avoid battles turning into snowballs once a Pokemon has been fainted.
Q: Do abilities stack? Will two Intimidate Pokemon give me two Attack drops?
A: No.
Q: How do Skill Swap, Entrainment, Mummy, etc. work?
A: Ability-altering moves only work with a Pokemon’s native ability. So Skill Swap would exchange their normal abilities while retaining the teammates’. The shared ability remains as the original one when the Pokemon is switched out.
Q: Why don't Mirror Armor and Trace work?
A: Because of technical limitations, these abilities are not shared.
