Pokmon AbilitiesPokmon Abilities (also referred to as "Traits" or "Characteristics") are a new feature that was introduced in Pokmon Ruby/Sapphire. These are not to be confused with personality type ("nature"), which can modify a Pokmon's base statistics, nor with the attack techniques ("moves") a Pokmon can learn. Rather, an Ability can be thought of as an extra, innate trait distinctive of one or more species of Pokmon. For example, the ability Rock Head nullifies the recoil damage from techniques that also damage the user when performed, such as Double Edge and Take Down. Abilities have many diverse effects. Usually, a single species of Pokmon has only one ability associated with it, but several have two. In the latter case, it appears that one of the two abilities will be randomly assigned upon capture. Many abilities are assigned to certain species of Pokmon according to their Pokdex entries; for example, Grimer and Muk have the Stench ability because they smell absolutely foul, while Meowth has the Pickup ability because it is known to hoard shiny objects. A list of Pokmon Abilities is as follows: A Effects of the weather (either natural or induced by the moves Rain Dance, Sunny Day, Hail or Sandstorm) do not affect this Pokmon.
