Effect

Reason: Can this Ability gain Wonder Guard, Multitype, Zen Mode, Imposter, Flower Gift, Illusion, Power Construct, or Power of Alchemy?
You can discuss this on the talk page.

In battle

When an ally of the Pokémon with this Ability faints in battle (regardless of cause), Receiver will be replaced by the fainted Pokémon's Ability.

Power of Alchemy will not activate if its ally had the Ability Receiver, Trace, Forecast, Imposter, Stance Change, Schooling, Comatose, Shields Down, Disguise, RKS System, or Battle Bond.

Outside of battle

Receiver has no effect outside of battle.
