===Effect===
====Bag item====
If used from the Bag, it changes a Pokémon's Ability from one of its standard Abilities to its other standard Ability. It can only be used outside of battle. It is consumed after use.

The Ability Capsule can only be used on a Pokémon that belongs to a species that has two standard Abilities. For example, it can be used to change a {{p|Pidgey}}'s Ability from {{a|Keen Eye}} to {{a|Tangled Feet}} (or vice versa), but it cannot be used on a {{p|Pikachu}} (whose standard Ability is always {{a|Static}}). It also cannot be used to change a Pokémon to or from its species's [[Ability#Hidden Abilities|Hidden Ability]]. The Ability Capsule also cannot change the Ability of {{p|Zygarde}} (between {{a|Aura Break}} and {{a|Power Construct}}) or {{p|Greninja}} (between {{a|Torrent}} and {{a|Battle Bond}}).

The Ability change is retained even if the Pokémon [[Evolution|evolves]], and the Ability slot provided by the Ability Capsule is maintained if the evolved form has a different standard Ability. For example, a {{p|Lillipup}} which has {{a|Pickup}} evolves into a {{p|Herdier}} with {{a|Sand Rush}}, but if Lillipup's Ability is changed to {{a|Vital Spirit}} with the Ability Capsule it will have {{a|Intimidate}} after evolution.

====Held item====
{{m|Fling}} fails if the user is holding an Ability Capsule.
