Simple answer: Get an Ability Capsule to switch between a Pokémon's non-hidden abilities. For Hidden Abilities, you'll need an Ability Patch, which is a rare find in Tera Raid Battles. So, gear up for some raid action if you're looking to unlock those elusive Hidden Abilities.

Honestly, I just catch another Pokémon with the ability I want. Saves time and the headache of figuring out raids and items.

If you're looking to switch abilities, just remember that not all Pokémon have Hidden Abilities. So, before you start grinding for that Ability Patch, make sure your Pokémon actually has a Hidden Ability to unlock. Would hate for you to waste your time!

To change a Pokémon's ability in Scarlet and Violet, you're gonna need something called an Ability Patch. This item magically changes a Pokémon's ability to its Hidden Ability if it has one. No standard shop sells these, so you'll need to earn them by taking on Raids in the Tera Raid Battles. It's a bit of a grind, but totally worth it for that competitive edge.
