	This Ability effect may be in need of research. Reason: Is Forecast affected by Wandering Spirit? You can discuss this on the talk page.

When a Pokémon with Wandering Spirit is hit by a contact move, it exchanges Abilities with the attacker. If a Pokémon affected by Wandering Spirit is switched out, it regains its original Ability.

The Ability will trigger even if the Pokémon with Wandering Spirit faints from the attacking move.

The Ability will not trigger if the attacking Pokémon is Dynamaxed.

Wandering Spirit does not work on the following Abilities: As One, Battle Bond, Comatose, Commander, Disguise, Flower Gift, Forecast, Gulp Missile, Hunger Switch, Ice Face, Illusion, Imposter, Multitype, Neutralizing Gas, Power of Alchemy, Receiver, RKS System, Schooling, Shields Down, Stance Change, Wonder Guard, Zen Mode, and Zero to Hero.
