Abilities are passive effects that each Pokémon possesses for use in battle. A Pokémon may only have one Ability at a time; this Ability cannot be changed. A Pokémon's Ability is decided when the Pokémon spawns, and is chosen from a pool of up to three possible Abilities that the Pokémon can have, depending on the Pokémon's species. This Ability cannot be changed without the use of external programs that edit NBT tags.

Of the pool of possible Abilities a Pokémon can have, there are one or two normal abilities and possibly one hidden Ability. If the Pokémon has two possible normal abilities, there is an equal chance that either of them will be that Pokémon's Ability. Hidden Abilities are significantly rarer than normal abilities; by default, each Pokémon has a 1/150 chance of having its hidden Ability. The combination of types of Abilities that a Pokémon may have include:

One normal Ability
One normal Ability, one hidden Ability
Two normal Abilities, one hidden Ability

Not all Abilities are implemented in Pixelmon yet. The Abilities that are not implemented are labeled "Coming Soon!" and have no effect in battle.

Abilities (including hidden Abilities) can be passed down through breeding. The mother has an 80% chance to pass down her Ability, while the father has a 60% chance to pass down his Ability if he breeds with a Ditto.

Implemented Abilities
