List of Abilities in Pokémon Conquest
Abilities in Pokémon Conquest are very similar to Abilities in the main series games, activating when certain conditions are met. Many Abilities are the same between Pokémon Conquest and the main series, while others are unique.
In Pokémon Conquest, many of the abilities were reduced in effect, due to having a different stat system. Physical Attack and Special Attack don't exist individually, and are collectively referred to as Attack, and thus abilities like Lightningrod boost Attack; the same is said for Physical Defense and Special Defense, and are collectively referred to as Defense.
