This has been bugging me for months. I have a Heal Bell Poochyena from XD Gale of Darkness, with the ability Run Away. I Pal Parked it over to my Platinum, and EV trained it blah blah blah. I go to evolve it, and I need intimidate. I see that poochyena has 2 possible abilities: Run away and quick feet, and because its from 3rd gen, it obviously has to have run away.
This is from the smogon pal park guide:
In the 4th generation, some Pokémon who had only a single ability gained a second. When Pal Parking these Pokémon, it is important to understand what will happen. In the case of Pokémon who do not evolve, or are already fully evolved, no ability change can take place. In the case of those who do evolve there is a 50/50 chance the ability changing on evolution. For example, Absol, who does not evolve and has a single ability in the 3rd generation, will always be stuck with Pressure. Zigzagoon, on the other hand, does evolve. If Zigzagoon evolves after Pal Parking it can end up with either Pickup or Gluttony.
My question is, I have soft ressetted my evolution around 50 times, and everytime I end up getting quick feet, not intimidate for my mightyena. In the article, it said it was a 50/50 chance, but for me it seems like it was set in stone... Any help would be great, its super annoying to lose at a 50/50 chance 50 plus times in a row.
