Can a Pokemon have two Abilitys at the same time?

Taiyou · Jun 26, 2018

Hello everyone!
I have a question, because I don't find anything about it in the internet.
Can a Pokemon have two abilities at the same time? Is there a script or something?
Thank you very much!

I don't know if every single time the code wants to find out if a Pok?mon has an ability it calls hasWorkingAbility, but it looks like that happens a lot, so if you added a second ability to your Pok?mon you could probably change hasWorkingAbility to check if either ability is the one you're looking for.

And then you'd probably only have to track down anywhere the ability is directly looked at, e.g. in the party status screens etc.

Hey,

I know this is a quite old post but I just saw it and wanted to share some info.

It actually is possible to have multiple abilities. In

PokeBattle_Pokemon

you add a line like this

Code:

attr_accessor(:ability2) # Forces the second ability

right underneath

Code:

attr_accessor(:abilityflag) # Forces the first/second/hidden (0/1/2) ability

Then all you need to do is modify the following function to check for both abilities

Code:

# Returns the ID of this Pok?mon's ability.
  def ability
    abil=abilityIndex
    abils=getAbilityList
    ret1=0; ret2=0
    for i in 0...abils.length
      next if !abils[i][0] || abils[i][0]<=0
      return abils[i][0] if abils[i][1]==abil
      ret1=abils[i][0] if abils[i][1]==0
      ret2=abils[i][0] if abils[i][1]==1
    end
    abil=(@personalID&1) if abil>=2
    return ret2 if abil==1 && ret2>0
    return ret1
  end

you probably need to change this function as well

Code:

# Returns the index of this Pok?mon's ability.
  def abilityIndex
    abil=@abilityflag!=nil ? @abilityflag : (@personalID&1)
    return abil
  end

You could have abilityindex take arguments to check which ability it should return and then use both in ability method.
Either way you still need to find a way to assign the second ability. How you do that really depends on how this mechanic should work
