So I was Max Raiding a Galarian Darumaka just now, when I noticed that my Trace Gardevoir didn't trace its Ability, which can '''only''' be Inner Focus. Curious, I searched this page and noticed, that while Inner Focus isn't in the list on untraceable Abilities, its evolved form's Zen Mode is. Which led me to believe that you can't trace any Ability, if it's the same slot as evolved form's untraceable Ability. In case of Darumaka, I suspect it's Inner Focus is actually a Hidden Ability slot, which means it technically is a "Zen Mode Inner Focus", so to say. So if an Ability is programmed to turn into an untraceable Ability, it cannot be copied even if it's allowed in other instances. I will evolve this Darumaka and check if its Ability is indeed Zen Mode. [[User:Kikugi|Kikugi]] ([[User talk:Kikugi|talk]]) 03:27, 24 March 2020 (UTC) | |||

Oh man... Yes, I whyever hit the wrong Discussion Page. :D - Pokémon Questions? -- 03:28, 11 January 2014 (UTC)
Target?
Although the Trace page says Trace (in Generation VI) affects the left-most Pokémon and shifts right as they faint, in my experience it is either completely random or a different method entirely. Moments ago I used Trace to find a Hidden Ability Nidoran, catching the far left one, which ended up having a different ability than what Trace claimed - Trace does not specifically target the leftmost Pokémon.

Untraceable Abilities
So I was Max Raiding a Galarian Darumaka just now, when I noticed that my Trace Gardevoir didn't trace its Ability, which can only be Inner Focus. Curious, I searched this page and noticed, that while Inner Focus isn't in the list on untraceable Abilities, its evolved form's Zen Mode is. Which led me to believe that you can't trace any Ability, if it's the same slot as evolved form's untraceable Ability. In case of Darumaka, I suspect it's Inner Focus is actually a Hidden Ability slot, which means it technically is a "Zen Mode Inner Focus", so to say. So if an Ability is programmed to turn into an untraceable Ability, it cannot be copied even if it's allowed in other instances. I will evolve this Darumaka and check if its Ability is indeed Zen Mode. Kikugi (talk) 03:27, 24 March 2020 (UTC)
