Abilities (Japanese: 特性 special characteristic) are a game mechanic introduced in Generation III. Individual Pokémon may have just one of these special attributes, which generally serve to assist them in battle. Not every ability is beneficial, though; some can actually hinder the user. Abilities are very similar to Pokémon Powers in the Trading Card Game; in fact, some abilities originally appeared as such.

Some Pokémon may have the option of having more than one ability. In this case, the chances of obtaining a Pokémon with a particular ability are equally likely. These Pokémon are known as "dual ability" Pokémon; similarly those with only one are known as "single ability" Pokémon. Some single ability Pokémon may have abilities unique to themselves or their evolutionary lines: a signature ability. However, in the Mystery Dungeon games, dual ability Pokémon literally have two abilities, which are both active.

Pokémon that evolve and have a certain ability in their pre-evolution (Dual-ability Pokémon only), but evolve into a Dual-ability Pokémon upon evolution (such as Poochyena with Run Away or Quick Feet evolving into Mightyena with Intimidate or Quick Feet), the Pokémon will keep its ability from its pre-evolution upon evolving (so a Poochyena with Quick Feet in Generation IV would keep its ability upon evolving into a Mightyena, while one with Run Away would evolve into a Mightyena with Intimidate instead). If the Pokémon is a Single-ability Pokémon, then it will still have a 50% chance for each if its evolution is a Dual-ability (Dependent on IVs).

Abilities were carried over into the Generation IV games, and some new abilities were added. Some Pokémon that debuted in the first three generations are able to have these new abilities, as well as their old ones, becoming dual-ability Pokémon, but will keep the ability they had in Generation III unless they evolve. All Generation III abilities were maintained, with the exception of the unused Cacophony. The only ability listed after Cacophony in the game data, Air Lock, was renumbered, and the new abilities followed after.

In Generation V Pokémon obtained in the Dream World have new hidden abilities, meaning that some species of Pokémon now have three possible abilities. Many of the new abilities in Generation V are exclusive to Pokémon met in the Dream World.

List of abilities

Each ability listed here is linked to an article containing a list of Pokémon that can have that ability. For those lists:

  • Pokémon listed under 'Single ability' can only have that ability; for example, Mew can only have Synchronize. 233 Pokémon have just one ability.
  • Pokémon listed under 'Dual ability' can have that ability or another; for example, Chansey can have either the ability Natural Cure or the ability Serene Grace. 260 Pokémon may have one of two abilities.
  • Pokémon listed under 'Hidden ability' have that ability only when obtained from the Pokémon Dream World; for example, Servine usually has Overgrow, but a Servine from the Dream World will have Antagonist. 582 Pokémon have hidden abilities.

Trivia

  • As of Generation V, excluding Dream World abilities, there are 106 Pokémon (almost exactly one-sixth of the total) who have unique ability combinations.
  • There are 36 Pokémon whose first and second abilities begin with the same letter; however, this distinction encompasses just five initial letters: H, I, M, O, and S.
  • There are 4 Pokémon for which all three potential abilities begin with the same letter, all of them starting with S: Shellos, Gastrodon, Purotoga, and Carracosta.
