Oh, wanna switch abilities, huh? Well, in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, you're gonna need something called an Ability Capsule or an Ability Patch. The Ability Capsule lets you switch between a Pokémon's standard abilities if it has more than one. But keep in mind, it won't work for swapping to or from Hidden Abilities. Now for those tricky Hidden Abilities, you'll need the Ability Patch. Find these items in Delibird Presents shops in-game, but brace your wallet - they're not cheap!

Short answer: Ability Capsule for regular ability switch, Ability Patch for Hidden Abilities. Both found at Delibird Presents shops.

Not worth it. Just catch another Pokémon with the ability you want. Save your money for more Poké Balls or TMs.
