Can you change the ability on HA ability Pokemon?
Aug. 5, 2017Right now I’m shiny hunting Igglybuff / Jigglypuff by SOS, and want it to be at least somewhat competitive in Single Battles. I checked it’s abilities, and noticed it’s hidden ability is Friend Guard, which you do not want on a Single Battling Pokemon, it’s an ability for double battles. Remembering that there is some ability swapping item at Battle Royal, is it possible to switch HA Pokemon to regular abilities? Is there a different way from that item?

Well, no.The ability swapping item you’re talking about is the Ability Capsule. It only switches between two regular abilities, such as an Ariados’s Insomnia and Swarm.The SOS method might work. However, there is an easier way to guarantee no HA.The Masuda Method.If, by Link Trading, you can get a Pokemon you want from another country (in this case Wigglytuff/Jigglypuff/Igglybuff), you can breed it and boost the chances of getting a Shiny through breeding. Though make sure the parents don’t have their HA!
