About the Lingering Aroma ability
Lingering Aroma 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: Contact with the Pokémon changes the attacker's Ability to Lingering Aroma.
How to get a Pokémon with Lingering Aroma
If Lingering Aroma is a regular ability (not Hidden Ability), simply catch the Pokémon and it has a 50% chance per slot of having Lingering Aroma. You can use an Ability Capsule (50 BP at Chansey Supply) to swap between regular ability slots. If Lingering Aroma 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 Lingering Aroma as a regular ability
- To transfer a Pokémon with Hidden Ability via Pokémon HOME from older games
