In the world of Pokémon, each creature has unique traits called Abilities that can influence battles and gameplay. These abilities can provide advantages, such as boosting stats, affecting the environment, or altering the effects of moves. For example, the ability Levitate allows a Pokémon to avoid ground-type moves, while Intimidate lowers the opponent's attack when the Pokémon enters the battle. Abilities are categorized into different types, including passive effects that are always active and triggered effects that activate under specific conditions. Players can strategize by choosing Pokémon with complementary abilities to enhance their team's performance in battles and competitions.
