Reading the ability reference
The catalogue contains the 232 abilities present in original Sun/Moon, through Prism Armor. Neuroforce and Ultra Necrozma belong to Ultra Sun/Ultra Moon. Regular and Hidden columns describe the selected form’s historical ability slots. A Hidden slot does not guarantee a released or obtainable specimen.
Pokémon counts and links cover the 302 original Alola entries in the selected profile form. A zero does not mean the move or ability is unusable by a transferred or alternate-form Pokémon. Alternate forms can have different learnsets or slots. Expand the Pokémon lists to open each regional profile. Historical event moves and transferred earlier-generation moves are not inferred from the original version-group compatibility records.
All learnsets and machine records use original Sun/Moon version group 17. Later tutor additions, later forms and the Ultra games’ moves are excluded. The descriptions are the original game text, so wording reflects its generation.
