How do Ability Capsules work with hidden abilities on Gen 6?

Jan. 21, 2014

Hey guys, I did a little bit of research on my Pokemon team’s abilities and found they all had hidden abilities as do most Pokemon I assume. All of my Pokemon have regular abilities set by default and I wanted to change my Garchomp’s Sand Veil ability to it’s hidden ability with the Ability Capsule but it doesn’t work. Is this normal and hidden abilities are just unavailable or is something wrong here because I really wanted to use their hidden abilities.

The Ability Capsule will not change a Pokémon with its Hidden Ability or change a Pokémon to have its Hidden Ability.

Hope I helped :)

Hidden abilities are unaccessable through the ability capsule so unfortunately you can’t change your gengar’s ability
