'''Lingering Aroma''' (Japanese: '''とれないにおい''' ''Lingering Scent'') is an [[Ability]] introduced in [[Generation IX]]. It is the [[signature Ability]] of male {{p|Oinkologne}}.

==Effect==
===In battle===
{{AbilityResearch|Check if these Abilities are unaffected: {{a|Gulp Missile}}, {{a|Hunger Switch}}, {{a|Protosynthesis}}, {{a|Quark Drive}}, {{a|Orichalcum Pulse}}, {{a|Hadron Engine}} (also cf. {{a|Mummy}}).}}
When a Pokémon with Lingering Aroma is hit by a [[contact]] move, the attacker's [[Ability change|Ability is changed]] to Lingering Aroma. The attacker regains its original Ability once it is [[recall|switched out]], [[fainting|faints]], or the battle ends.

If a Pokémon with this Ability is hit by a [[multi-strike move]] that makes contact (such as {{m|Fury Swipes}}), the attacking Pokémon's Ability will become Lingering Aroma after the first strike.

If a Pokémon with {{a|Rock Head}} uses a [[recoil]] contact move on a Pokémon with Lingering Aroma, its Ability will become Lingering Aroma, then subsequently it will take recoil damage.

{{a|Multitype}}, {{a|Zen Mode}}, {{a|Stance Change}}, {{a|Shields Down}}, {{a|Schooling}}, {{a|Disguise}}, {{a|Battle Bond}}, {{a|Power Construct}}, {{a|Comatose}}, {{a|RKS System}}, {{a|Ice Face}}, {{a|As One}}, {{a|Zero to Hero}}, {{a|Commander}}, {{a|Mummy}}, and Lingering Aroma itself are not affected by Lingering Aroma.

==Trivia==
* Lingering Aroma is the first [[Generation IX]] Ability in [[Ability#List of Abilities|index number]] order.
* Lingering Aroma is the only signature Ability to be specific to one [[gender]] of its owning species. Female Oinkologne may instead have the Ability {{a|Aroma Veil}}.
* Lingering Aroma being specific to male {{p|Oinkologne}} may be a reference to how male pigs in real life produce an odor called {{wp|boar taint}} when they hit puberty from a gland that develops when they mature, this scent and gland being absent from female pigs.
