Receiver

Receiver is an ability introduced in Generation VII of the Pokémon series. It enables a Pokémon to inherit the ability of a defeated ally during a battle. Specifically, if an ally with a different ability faints, the Pokémon with Receiver will copy and gain the fainted ally's ability for the rest of the battle. This can be particularly strategic, allowing Pokémon to adapt dynamically to the flow of combat.

Here are some key effects and interesting facts about Receiver:

  1. Inherits Abilities: When an allied Pokémon faints in a double or multi-battle, the Pokémon with the Receiver ability will inherit the fainted Pokémon's ability. This can lead to various strategic advantages depending on the inherited ability.

  2. Exclusive to Certain Pokémon: As of the latest games, this ability is exclusive to the Passimian species. This gives Passimian a unique role in battles where it can take advantage of an ally's ability upon their defeat.
