Alright then bad idea.

Ben is too over-powered now. The Omnitrix, with it's ability to allow Ben to assume the form and abilities of 60 different aliens makes him plenty strong, while the equal chance that it'll give him something completely inappropriate for the situation creates a balance of strong and weak and thus a good formula for a plot.

Introduce Skurd and now whenever Ben mis-transforms he can now get the abilities of the aliens that he intended to get and combine them with the alien that he has.

Bad execution.

Skurd is not an endearing character. Yes he adds humor, but he does not care in the lease about his partners. He treats them as a weapon and disposes of them as he will, at one point in time the moment a better deal came in, Ben, he not only abandoned his current partner, Khyber, but also tried to turn him into a brain dead drooling monkey. He's basically a psychopath, and they rarely makes for good protagonists.
