Ability Capsule in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet: How it works?
Ability Capsule can play a crucial role in deciding the level of your gameplay and performance in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet. Ability Capsule is the key to changing the abilities of your pokemon. Having access to a unique pokemon ability not only confuses the opponent but can also have a major impact on the strategy that you make before Tera Raid battles. But, you must be careful before utilizing an Ability Capsule on a particular Pokemon as it can also weaken it.
Ability Capsule switches the primary ability of a Pokemon to another ability that can be equipped by Pokemon of the same species, and it is random. You cannot choose beforehand, which ability you want a particular Pokemon to have. So, it is recommended to do your research on abilities that your Pokemon is eligible to equip. Also, don’t forget to save your game before actually using an Ability Capsule, in case you want to load back the previous version of that Pokemon. Now that you know how an Ability Capsule works, let’s see how you can get it.
How to get Ability Capsule?
Getting an Ability Capsule can be a tedious task. The Chancey Supply Shops present in Paldea offer the Ability Capsule for 100,000 Pokedollars, but that too only after you have completed the journey of the game till the end credits. However, if you are currently in progression, you can get the same as a reward from 5 Star (or above) Tera Raids. But the chances of getting this item are very low, so make sure to complete Tera Raid Battles frequently.
