The Pokémon transforms into its Hero Form when it switches out.

Zero to Hero (Japanese: マイティチェンジ Mighty Change) is an Ability introduced in Generation IX. It is the signature Ability of Palafin.

Effect

In battle

After switching out for the first time in battle, a Palafin with the Ability switches to its Hero Form until the end of battle. This includes through the use of moves that switch the user out, such as Baton Pass and Flip Turn, and moves used by opposing Pokémon that force it to switch, such as Whirlwind and Dragon Tail. If Palafin faints and revives later, it will be in its Hero Form upon being sent out.

Role Play, Skill Swap, and Entrainment fail if either Pokémon has Zero to Hero. Zero to Hero cannot be copied by Trace, Power of Alchemy, or Receiver. Zero to Hero cannot be replaced by Mummy or Lingering Aroma or traded by Wandering Spirit.

Outside of battle

Zero to Hero has no effect outside of battle.
