Schooling (Japanese: ぎょぐん School of Fish) is an Ability introduced in Generation VII. It is the signature Ability of Wishiwashi and allows it to change form.

Effect

In battle

If Wishiwashi is level 20 or higher, at the start of battle or the end of a turn, if its HP is above 25% it will change into its School Form. At the end of the turn, if its HP is below 25%, it will change back to its Solo Form.

If a Pokémon Transforms or impersonates a Pokémon under level 20 with Schooling, the Ability will not activate, regardless of its own level.

Schooling cannot be copied by Trace or affected by Worry Seed, Skill Swap, Entrainment, or Gastro Acid.

Outside of battle

Schooling has no effect outside of battle.
