Just catch more Pokemon! Seriously, if you're looking for a specific ability, sometimes it's easier to find a new Pokémon with the ability you want rather than changing the one you have. Each Pokémon's ability can vary, so keep those Poké Balls flying!

You can't. Once a Pokemon has an ability, you're stuck with it unless you use an Ability Patch for Hidden Abilities. But remember, not every Pokemon has a Hidden Ability!

Changing abilities in Pokemon Scarlet isn't as straightforward as pressing a button, but it's definitely possible with a little effort! You'll need an item called the Ability Patch, which allows you to change a Pokémon's ability to its Hidden Ability (if it has one). You can usually find Ability Patches as rewards in the game or by trading with other players. Just remember, not all Pokémon have Hidden Abilities, so check before you patch!

I changed my Frosmoth's ability using an Ability Patch and it was totally worth it. Made a huge difference in battles. Just make sure the Pokémon you're using it on actually has a Hidden Ability or it's a waste.
