About the Natural Cure ability

Natural Cure 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: All status conditions heal when the Pokémon switches out.

How it works: The Pok�mon�s status (BURN, PARALYZE, SLEEP, POISON, FREEZE) is healed when withdrawn from battle.

How to get a Pokémon with Natural Cure

If Natural Cure is a regular ability (not Hidden Ability), simply catch the Pokémon and it has a 50% chance per slot of having Natural Cure. You can use an Ability Capsule (50 BP at Chansey Supply) to swap between regular ability slots. If Natural Cure is the Hidden Ability of one of the 3 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 Natural Cure as a regular ability
To transfer a Pokémon with Hidden Ability via Pokémon HOME from older games
