:I would rather the infobox be modified so we can include the information there. But until then, there's nowhere else on species pages where Abilities are mentioned, leaving Trivia the only place to put it, and I'd rather it be ''some''where on species pages than not at all (it seems like quite important information, after all). Put me down as a hesitant vote in favor, but only until it can be put in the infobox instead. [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 17:50, 4 January 2017 (UTC)

::Um. Can y'all look again at the infobox, and tell me what not adequate? I can't tell if I'm completely missing something here or what... [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 18:14, 4 January 2017 (UTC)

:::Ah! Didn't see that. I was thinking more broadly about all of the [[User:Pumpkinking0192/List of modified Ability access|Pokémon that have had Abilities added/changed over the years]]. I'm guessing y'all have designed that parameter such that it probably works only for Gengar, or maybe a few more but certainly not all that need it. I've seen Ability change trivia removed from several species pages (like [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Ferrothorn_(Pok%C3%A9mon)&diff=2569657&oldid=2569651 Ferrothorn], for the first one off the top of my head), so I didn't think to check if the infobox was modified in this specific article. My request still stands in regard to the other Pokémon on the list, though. [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 18:26, 4 January 2017 (UTC)
::::That's not exactly an Ability change on Ferrothorn, though, that's it gaining a HA. When an Ability completely changes like Gengar's (or {{p|Venipede}}'s), then it's easier to show the old one in a separate place. But when there is no old Ability, in our current layout, it's much harder to add a note about when the "new" one became available. (Unless you think of the old one literally as "None" and try to do the something like with Gengar for Ferrothorn's HA. That still seems a bit odd, perhaps, though. And that's mostly HAs... I'm really unsure what you could/should do for something like {{p|Feebas}}'s Oblivious.) [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 20:20, 4 January 2017 (UTC)
:::::I'm in favor of "None". Anything that makes the change easily visible. As for Feebas, perhaps "Swift Swim or Oblivious"/"Swift Swim (standard Ability prior to Generation VI)"? I'm kind of just spitballing here; I just think ''some''thing more visible is better than what we've got now, where you have to bother to click to the Ability's page and scroll to the note at the bottom of the Pokemon list in order to even see whether it was changed or not.

[link removed]
I tired to get a good shot of it alone, but it was really difficult, if not impossible. I took 6 pictures on my Switch and am wondering which one I should upload. [[User:Unowninator|¿¡Unowninator?!]] ([[User talk:Unowninator|talk]]) 17:07, 17 October 2018 (UTC)
== Levitate ==
Is Gengar no longer capable of having Levitate, or is it now split between Lev and Cursed Body? The bio implies the former but I thought they still could [[User:Pallukun|Pallukun]] ([[User talk:Pallukun|talk]]) 17:09, 18 September 2019 (UTC)
:It is the former. Cursed Body is now the only ability non-Mega Gengar can have. '''''[[User:Gengarzilla|Gengar]][[User talk:Gengarzilla|zilla!]]''''' 19:13, 18 September 2019 (UTC)
