I really need this question answered;
Can a Pokemon change its Pokemon ability when it evolves?
This is in reference to Rhyhorn, Rhydon, and Rhyperior.
I am trying to breed a Rhyperior with Solid Rock ability and good IV's/Nature.
The only problem is that Solid Rock is not a Pokemon ability that niether Rhyhorn or Rhydon have.
Rhyhorn: Rock Head & Lightning Rod
Rhydon: Rock Head & Lightning Rod
Rhyperior: Solid Rock & Lightning Rod
Common sense tells me that if you have a Rhyhorn with Rock Head, he'll evolve into a Rhydon with Rock Head, then a Rhyperior with Solid Rock. and if you have a Rhyhorn with Lightning Rod, it'll evolve into a Rhydon and Rhyperior with Lightning Rod...
Although I somehow feel that during the transition from Rhydon to Rhyperior, the ability Rhyperior gets is random. Basically the problem I have at the moment, is that I got an Impish Rhyhorn with 30 HP IV's and 31 Def IV's, which is exactly what I want... except... He has the Lightning Rod Ability. Is there any way for me to get Solid Rock on this Rhyhorn is I evolve it into Rhyperior?
