Abilities have been shown in the {{pkmn|anime}}, but are usually only used in {{pkmn|battle}}s; however, sometimes they have an effect on the plot, such as {{TP|Ash|Infernape}}'s {{a|Blaze}}. Abilities sometimes work differently in the anime than they would in the games, such as {{a|Mold Breaker}}, which in the anime cancels out more Abilities than it would in the games. | Abilities have been shown in the {{pkmn|anime}}, but are usually only used in {{pkmn|battle}}s; however, sometimes they have an effect on the plot, such as {{TP|Ash|Infernape}}'s {{a|Blaze}}.

The only Ability that was seen in the original series was {{a|Color Change}}, being used by [[Madison and Alexa]]'s {{p|Kecleon}} in ''[[EP205|The Kecleon Caper]]''.

Abilities proved important in the battles [[Paul]] and {{Ash}} had with [[Roark]]. During Paul's battle in ''[[DP015|Shapes of Things to Come!]]'', his {{TP|Paul|Elekid}} uses Static to paralyze Roark's {{p|Onix}} and {{p|Cranidos}} although the latter shakes it off with {{a|Mold Breaker}}. Paul also deliberately allows his {{TP|Paul|Chimchar}} to take extra damage so that it can activate Blaze. After Ash's first match with Roark ends in defeat, {{an|Brock}} briefly lends him {{TP|Brock|Sudowoodo}} in ''[[DP017|Wild in the Streets!]]'' because its Ability Rock Head makes it similar to Roark's Pokémon Onix, who also had the Ability. During Ash's rematch in ''[[DP018|O'er the Rampardos We Watched!]]'', Pikachu also activates Static against Roark's newly evolved {{TP|Roark|Rampardos}} and it is similarly ineffective. | Abilities proved important in the battles [[Paul]] and {{Ash}} had with [[Roark]].
