Some Pokémon may have the option of having more than one ability. In this case, the chances of obtaining a Pokémon with a particular ability are equally likely. These Pokémon are known as "dual ability" Pokémon; similarly those with only one are known as "single ability" Pokémon. Some single ability Pokémon may have abilities unique to themselves or their evolutionary lines: a signature ability. However, in the Mystery Dungeon games, dual ability Pokémon literally have two abilities, which are both active. | Some Pokémon may have the option of having more than one ability.

Pokémon that evolve and have a certain ability in their pre-evolution ( | Pokémon that evolve and have a certain ability in their pre-evolution (dual-ability Pokémon only), but evolve into a dual-ability Pokémon upon evolution (such as {{p|Poochyena}} with {{a|Run Away}} or {{a|Quick Feet}} evolving into {{p|Mightyena}} with [[Intimidate]] or [[Quick Feet]]), the Pokémon will keep its ability from its pre-evolution upon evolving (so a Poochyena with Quick Feet in [[Generation IV]] would keep its ability upon evolving into a Mightyena, while one with Run Away would evolve into a Mightyena with Intimidate instead). If the Pokémon is a Single-ability Pokémon, then it will still have a 50% chance for each if its evolution is a dual-ability (Dependent on IVs). | ||
Abilities were carried over into the [[Generation IV]] games, and some new abilities were added. Some Pokémon that debuted in the first three generations are able to have these new abilities, as well as their old ones, becoming dual-ability Pokémon, but will keep the ability they had in Generation III unless they evolve. All Generation III abilities were maintained, with the exception of the unused {{a|Cacophony}}. The only ability listed after Cacophony in the game data, {{a|Air Lock}}, was renumbered, and the new abilities followed after. | Abilities were carried over into the [[Generation IV]] games, and some new abilities were added.
