An '''Ability''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|特性|とくせい}}''' ''Ability'') is a game mechanic introduced in [[Generation III]] that provides a passive effect in battle or in the overworld. Individual Pokémon may have only one Ability at a time. Prior to [[Generation VI]], an Ability could not be changed after a Pokémon was obtained except by [[evolution]]—where the new Ability is determined by the former Ability—and [[List of Pokémon with form differences|form change]]. Not every Ability is entirely beneficial; {{cat|Abilities with negative effects|some of them are hindering}}. | An '''Ability''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|特性|とくせい}}''' ''Ability'') is a game mechanic introduced in [[Generation III]] that provides a passive effect in battle or in the overworld.
