Abilities are special features that Pokemon have, giving them some sort of positive or negative bonus. Every Pokemon will start with one ability. Pokemon will have their ability randomly selected from a short list that is unique to every species. Each ability will have a Cast Rate. This determines how often the Pokemon is able to use the ability. The list of Cast Rate is as follows,
Cast Rates
Daily: The ability may be used once per roleplay day.
Hourly: The ability may be used once per battle or once per roleplay hour.
Trigger: The ability activates under certain conditions. The conditions will be specified in the Effects section of the Ability.
Constant: The ability is always active.
The following section defines a few keywords related to the abilities and the section after that lists and defnines all of the abilities.

Ability Keywords Immune
Abilities with the keyword Immune cannot be affected by a certain status effect. This is described per Move. Immune Abilties are usually Constant.
Last Chance
Abilities with the keyword Last Chance trigger when the pokemon’s HP has been lowered to 1/3 of their full HP or less. When activated, one elemental Type, defined per Ability, receives a boost for Moves performed by the pokemon with the Last Chance Ability. All Moves that are the Type defined in the Ability receive x1.5 bonus when dealing damage. This multiplier is included during damage calculation after weakness and resistance, but before defenses.
Overworld
This keyword means that the ability may be used outside of battle. The effects will be described within the ability.
