Abilities have been shown in the anime, but are usually only used in battles; however, sometimes they have an effect on the plot, such as [[Ash's Infernape]]'s {{a|Blaze}}. At one point in ''[[BW034|Gotta Catch A Roggenrola!]]'', Iris pointed out that {{AP|Roggenrola}} had the Ability {{a|Sturdy}}, implying that Roggenrola would receive less damage than a Pokémon normally would. In ''[[AG112|Showdown At Linoone]]'', a {{p|Linoone}} has the Ability {{a|Pickup}} and takes items to its private stash, including {{an|May}}'s Poké Balls. | Abilities have been shown in the anime, but are usually only used in battles; however, sometimes they have an effect on the plot, such as [[Ash's Infernape]]'s {{a|Blaze}}.

Abilities were shown to work differently in the anime than they would in the games, such as {{a|Mold Breaker}} where it would cancel out any Ability instead of the ones that would prevent the user from using any moves as seen in ''[[DP015|Shapes of Things to Come!]]'' where {{TP|Roark|Cranidos}} activated it to stop {{TP|Paul|Elekid}} from activating {{a|Static}}. This was repeated again in ''[[DP018|O'er the Rampardos We Watched!]]'' but this time with Rampardos and {{AP|Pikachu}}. Some Abilities were not to shown to be activated at all despite meeting their requirements such as {{a|Iron Barbs}} in ''[[BW103|Curtain Up, Unova League!]]'' when {{p|Ferrothorn}} was hit by {{p|Eelektross}}'s {{m|Crush Claw}}, even though it was Ferrothorn's only Ability. | Abilities were shown to work differently in the anime than they would in the games, such as {{a|Mold Breaker}} where it would cancel out any Ability instead of the ones that would prevent the user from using any moves as seen in ''[[DP015|Shapes of Things to Come!]]'' where {{TP|Roark|Cranidos}} activated it to stop {{TP|Paul|Elekid}} from activating {{a|Static}}.
