Effect

	This move effect may be in need of research. Reason: Can this Ability gain Wonder Guard, Multitype, Zen Mode, Imposter, Flower Gift, Illusion, Power Construct, or Power of Alchemy? You can discuss this on the talk page.

In battle

When an ally of the Pokémon with this Ability faints in battle (regardless of cause), Receiver will be replaced by the fainted Pokémon's Ability.

Receiver will not activate if its ally had the Ability Receiver, Power of Alchemy, Trace, Forecast, Stance Change, Schooling, Comatose, Shields Down, Disguise, RKS System, Battle Bond, Zen Mode, Flower Gift, Illusion, Wonder Guard, or Imposter. Instead of Receiver being replaced by Imposter, it will be replaced with the ability that was gained through the use of Imposter.

Receiver cannot be copied by Role Play or Trace. Role Play and Entrainment will fail if used by a Pokémon with Receiver.

Outside of battle

Receiver has no effect outside of battle.
