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.

Role Play, Gastro Acid, Worry Seed, Simple Beam, and Entrainment fail if the target has the Ability Schooling. Skill Swap fails if either Pokémon has Schooling. Schooling cannot be copied by Trace, Power of Alchemy, or Receiver. Schooling cannot be replaced by Mummy or suppressed by Core Enforcer. If a Pokémon other than Wishiwashi obtains Schooling with Imposter or Transform, the Pokémon will not change forms.

Outside of battle

Schooling has no effect outside of battle.
