===Pokémon UNITE=== | |||
In {{g|UNITE}}, Abilities are similar to the main series. Every Pokémon with a Unite License uses one of their Abilities from the main series games as their Ability. Similarly, a Pokémon's Ability can change when it evolves, such as {{p|Tyranitar}} having [[Guts]] as a {{p|Larvitar}} and [[Shed Skin]] as a {{p|Pupitar}} before gaining [[Sand Stream]] as a Tyranitar. The effects of Abilties usually correlate to their main series counterparts, such as how [[Garchomp]]'s [[Rough Skin]] deals damage to opponents who hit it with [[physical]] melee attacks. However, this is not always the case, as [[Mewtwo]]'s [[Pressure]] only serves to enable its [[Mega Evolution]] instead of having an effect that lines up with its main series effect of reducing [[PP]]. Abilities often have multiple effects aside from adapting the main series Abilities. These effects can fill gauges or give the Pokémon resources that contribute to the effectiveness of its other attacks and [[move]]s. Many Abilities that trigger as a result of something happening, such as {{p|Pikachu}}'s [[Static]] activating when it takes damage, cannot trigger again until a cooldown period has passed. | |||
