Intro

This is a growing list of Pokemon abilities in Pokemon Mystery Dungeon (Explorers of Time). There is no such list on the wiki (as far as I've checked), and many of the same-name abilities are not uniform across games. Compare Run Away: instead of 100% success rate of running from a Pokemon, the Pokemon gains a terrified status when its HP is low (and it consequently runs away if it's not the team leader)
