- Use Liquimetal Coating on Tezzeret, Agent of Bolas
- Use Tezzeret's -1 ability to animate himself
- Use Experiment Kraj to put a +1/+1 counter on Tezzeret
- Tadaa! You have a creature with Planeswalker abilities! (it can still only use 1 per turn)

Well technically you had a creature with planeswalker abilities when you animated tezzert, but thats a pretty sweet thing =P that way you could use 2 of his abilities per turn, (one from tezzert and one from kraj) right?
Or on the other hand, would you first need to use the +1 ability on the kraj because it has no loyalty counters for the other ones?

@Penumbra Any permanent with loyalty abilities can use exactly one of them per turn (only any time you could play a sorcery), but yeah, Kraj would need to +1 to get some loyalty counters, since removing loyalty counters is a cost of the other abilities.
@AegairEtapa Those are all great abilities, but I think the guy is interested in activated abilities, since those are the only ones Experiment Kraj can get.

Ah! Well, if you're gonna user it for a Kraj EDH, then all creatures with untap abilities are a must. Leech Bonder and Gilder Bairn and the like. Pili-Pala is especially nice. Creatures with large mana abilities also, Elvish Aberration , Viridian Joiner and stuff. Things that give evasion(Blockade Runner , Spincrusher ), and things that give shroud or some other form of protection(Advanced Hoverguard , Cephalid Inkshrouder ) also are incredibly useful.
Graft creatures help, as they can place counters with Kraj Having to do the work(Cytoplast Manipulator , Plaxcaster Frogling and things), and generally just creatures with fun abilities, like card:Jodah's Avenger and Thornling .
I've got a Kraj EDH up here: The Blob if you wanna check it out for some more ideas; the list here isn't really comprehensive. Good luck!

I am gonna go with Progenitus with his nice little ability: protection from everything, or if you don't like him you could always try Emrakul, the Aeons Torn .

Both are wonderful creatures in their own right, and would be high on the list of "creatures with the best abilities", but both would be useless, and indeed, illegal, in a Kraj EDH deck.

I really like Experiment Kraj
