In technical terms, a species' Abilities may be thought of as having separate slots, with an individual Pokémon's non-Hidden slot determined by its [[personality value]]. For example, an {{p|Eevee}}—with two non-Hidden Abilities—has {{a|Run Away}} for its first non-Hidden slot, {{a|Adaptability}} for its second, and {{a|Anticipation}} for its Hidden Ability slot. {{p|Vaporeon}}—with only one non-Hidden Ability—can be considered to have {{a|Water Absorb}} for both non-Hidden slots. When a Pokémon evolves, its Ability slot remains the same. This means that a {{p|Poochyena}} with {{a|Run Away}} will evolve into a {{p|Mightyena}} with {{a|Intimidate}}, while a Poochyena with {{a|Quick Feet}} will evolve into a Mightyena with {{a|Quick Feet}}.

Aside from Evolution, there are two ways for Pokémon to change Abilities in a permanent manner. One way is if the Pokémon has different [[List of Pokémon with form differences|forms]] with different Abilities. The other way is through the [[Ability Capsule]], which was introduced in [[Generation VI]]. The Ability Capsule actually changes a Pokémon's non-Hidden Ability slot, but it will not work if the Pokémon has its Hidden Ability or if the species has only one non-Hidden Ability. Aside from these methods, during battle, Pokémon may also change their Ability through [[Mega Evolution]] or [[Primal Reversion]], and certain [[move]]s and Abilities can also change a Pokémon's Ability.

Aside from these methods, during battle, Pokémon may also change their Ability through [[Mega Evolution]] or [[Primal Reversion]], and certain [[move]]s and Abilities can also change a Pokémon's Ability.


When Abilities were introduced in [[Generation III]], some Pokémon only had one possible Ability. A number of these species were given a second Ability in a later generation. If a Pokémon whose species gained an Ability after Generation III is transferred to Generations IV or {{gen|V}}, it will initially retain its original Ability; upon evolving, however, its Ability slot will be recalculated and its Ability may change. When a Pokémon is transferred to Generation VI, however, it will be locked into the appropriate slot for its current Ability.
