About the Hadron Engine ability
Hadron Engine is one of 112+ abilities in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet. Each Pokémon has one active ability at a time, drawn from a list of 1-3 possible abilities per species (the third slot, when present, is the Hidden Ability — only accessible via Tera raids, Mass Outbreaks, or Ability Patch).
Official game text: Turns the ground into Electric Terrain when the Pokémon enters a battle. The futuristic engine within the Pokémon also boosts its Sp. Atk stat on Electric Terrain.
How to get a Pokémon with Hadron Engine
If Hadron Engine is a regular ability (not Hidden Ability), simply catch the Pokémon and it has a 50% chance per slot of having Hadron Engine. You can use an Ability Capsule (50 BP at Chansey Supply) to swap between regular ability slots. If Hadron Engine is the Hidden Ability of one of the 1 Pokémon listed above, you'll need either:
- To catch the Pokémon from a 5-star or 6-star Tera raid
- To use an Ability Patch (consumable from picnic crafting / raid rewards) on a Pokémon that already has Hadron Engine as a regular ability
- To transfer a Pokémon with Hidden Ability via Pokémon HOME from older games
