An Ability is a game mechanic that provides a passive effect in battle or in the overworld.

Individual Pokémon may have only one Ability at a time. An Ability could not be changed after a Pokémon is obtained except by Evolution, where the Ability it changes into is determined by the former Ability and form change. Not every Ability is beneficial; some will hinder the user.
