Pokemon Scarlet Violet Ability Capsule distribution

Another distribution has just gone live in Pokemon Scarlet and Pokemon Violet, with players now being able to claim an Ability Capsule.

We’d definitely suggest taking advantage of the distribution since this item can come in handy. Once you use it, the ability for one of your Pokemon can be changed. Note that it only works with one standard ability, meaning you can’t change it to a Hidden Ability.
