Hidden Abilities of Pokemon are initially introduced during the game’s fifth generation. Here in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, hidden abilities are also included in the game.

For new Pokemon players who don’t have any idea about the hidden abilities, let me first give you a brief explanation.

Pokemon, for sure, have their own special skills in accordance with their type. Once you catch a Pokemon, they will automatically have their skills and special abilities with them depending on their level.

But hidden abilities cannot be found in your Pokemon by default.

However, there are various ways for you to awaken and give your Pokemon its hidden ability. These hidden abilities will be extremely helpful if you are into competitive battles.

They also vary depending on which Pokemon you attached them to.

How to Get Hidden Abilities in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet

As you can see in the photo, you can see a Pokemon’s hidden ability by checking the summary of a specific Pokemon and looking at the Move and States section. Under the stats, you will see what hidden ability was unlocked.

Now, the question is how do we get the hidden ability of a Pokemon?

Here, we will give you two methods that you can use to reveal the hidden ability of your Pokemon.

Ability Patch

Using the Ability Patch is by far the most known and popular way to get your Pokemon its hidden ability. All you have to do is access your bag and pick any Pokemon that you want to give a hidden ability.

Ability patches can be obtained by successfully completing a 6-star Tera Raid Battles.

Breeding

Another effective way of getting your Pokemon’s hidden ability is through breeding. However, you must remember to make sure that both of the Pokemon have their hidden abilities, and are of the same species.

By choosing this method, there is a chance that the hidden ability can be passed to the offspring. Although it only gives a small possibility to pass down the hidden ability, it is still a good way if you are hoping to get that small chance.
