Abilities

Ability NameEffect
Toxic ChainWhen a Pokemon with this ability hits an opponent with a move (contact or non-contact), the power of its toxic chain may cause the opponent to become badly poisoned.
Supersweet SyrupThe scent of this Pokemon’s syrup spreads across the battlefield, lowering the evasiveness of opposing Pokémon when it first enters the field.
HospitalityWhen a Pokémon with this Ability enters a battle, it showers its ally with hospitality, restoring a small amount of the ally’s HP.
Mind’s EyeThe Pokémon ignores changes to opponents’ evasiveness, its accuracy can’t be lowered, and it can hit Ghost types with Normal- and Fighting-type moves.

These new abilities debuted in the game alongside new Pokemon like Bloodmoon Ursaluna and Dipplin. The Heroes of Kitakami, also known as the Loyal Three, are the toughest challenge in the DLC thanks to the Toxic Chain ability players are struggling with, so keep that in mind.
