/ FAQ/ABILITIES INTRODUCTION \
o-----------------------o-----------------------------o----------------------o
Welcome to the FireRed/LeafGreen Abilities FAQ. This guide was written
to give
people more in-depth knowledge of a Pokemon's abilities. All Pokemon
have
abilities, which aid them somehow (usually in battle). To view your
Pokemon's
ability you can click START -> POKEMON -> [NAME OF POKEMON} -> SUMMARY
and
"scroll" several screens to the right. The game gives you only a
limited, brief
description of your ability. This guide will give you the full
definition.
Some Pokemon, but not all, have more than one ability available to them.
One
example is Ralts. There is a 50% chance that it may have Synchronize,
and a 50%
chance that it has Trace. The ability is not determined by your game, it
is
determined randomly. If you are not satisfied with the trait you have,
keep
looking. An example of a single-ability Pokemon is Pikachu. No matter
what
level it is, what game you have, or where you catch it, it will always
have the
Static ability.
Use your abilities wisely. If you have the Rock Head ability, which
prevents
recoil damage, take advantage of that and teach your Pokemon DoubleEdge, a

powerful move that normally causes a small HP decrease when used. If you
have
the Insomnia ability, which prevents the Sleep condition, don't be
stupid and
teach your Pokemon Rest or give it a Chesto Berry (Sleep-prevention) to
hold.
When you make good use of your abilities, your battling power, (as well
as the
respect of your friends), increases. Have fun!
I am officially finished with this FAQ. I was supposed to add [A]s next
to the
Pokemone with two possible abilities, but I never got around to it. I'm
sorry!
I'm a senior next year, and the homework load, coupled with college
applications, is proposterously high. Pokemon just isn't a very high
priority.
I hope this FAQ still answers some of your questions! As explained in
Section
IV, I will still accept emails.

/ ABILITIES AND RELATED POKEMON \
o----------------------o--------------------------------o--------------------o

If you have seen the older version of this guide you might remember that
it had
each ability, categorized alphabetically, and the official definition
(as set
by Nintendo and the Pokemon Company). Now, in version 1.4, instead of
putting
the Pokemon-Ability section in a separate area, I have combined the two
to make
it easier and to require less scrolling. Bascially, the fomat goes like
this:
Name of Ability:
Official Definition:
Related Pokemon:
(This is where I list the Pokemon that have this ability available to
them. As
said before, some Pokemon have more than one ability available. I
recommend
that you search for a Pokemon's name twice to see if it is one of these
doubleability Pokemon.)
Remember, nothing is perfect. I have tried to make this guide as
flawless as
possible, but mistakes will eventually pop up. If you see any error,
such as an
unlisted Pokemon, or a mistake with a definition, then please contact me
using
the information in Section IV.
