Special Traits (Japanese: ??? ???) are a game mechanic introduced in Pokémon Rumble. Early on in the game, Pokémon do no have traits. Later on, there is a chance a Pokémon will have a trait when they are recruited. Each Pokémon has a chance of having any trait, though some are more likely to have a specific trait than others. Pokémon with Super, or Ultra traits classify as having more than one trait which are noted in their description. Traits with + symbols are more potent than traits without the symbols.
