How does Banette's abilities (mega and regular) work?

Aug. 25, 2015



If I had a Banette and allowed it to Mega-evolve, its ability prankster would not activate immediately. I am wondering what would happen if a foe used a sleep-inducing move on a Banette with the ability insomnia after it just mega evolved. Would the Banette still fall asleep?

This basically means that you have NO ability on the turn of Mega Evolution.
