Yep, you totally can change a Pokémon's ability in Pokémon Violet, but it's not as straightforward as hitting a menu option. You'll need an item called an Ability Capsule to swap between a Pokémon's standard abilities. But heads up, this doesn't work for changing to or from a Hidden Ability. For that, you gotta get your hands on an Ability Patch, which is a bit harder to come by. So, short answer: Yes, but it depends on what change you're trying to make!

Nope, can't do it. Stick with what you got.

Changed my Pikachu's ability last night! Found an Ability Capsule while raiding and swapped its ability right away. So yeah, changing abilities is a thing, confirmed from personal experience!
