What type of bug are you reporting? Mechanics

What is the bug?
Mega kangaskhan has a visual bug on the hover interface where upon dying, it implies the only possible ability is Early Bird

Are you able to replicate it? If so, how?
The kangaskhan's ability is Scrappy in all of these replays

This replay also has a pawmot revive mega kangaskhan. On switch in, kangaskhan still says it can only have early bird, and even says that is its ability on the kangaskhan user's side
 
Can replicate with other Megas too, the tooltip seems to default to the first listed ability the mon can have once the mon dies and reverts from Mega form.

In this battle you can clearly see that the Mawile has Intimidate, however after Mega evolving and dying, the tooltip states that it has Hyper Cutter.

In this replay, Mawile is revived and correctly has Intimidate upon switch in, however the tooltip implies that its base ability was Hyper Cutter.

Probably something to do with fainted Forme regression causing the ability to be set as the first listed ability until the mon switches back in, at which point it is changed to the correct ability. Not sure if this is purely visual or if you can actually prevent the ability from being changed to the correct ability in some way.
