About the Overcoat ability

Overcoat 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: Protects the Pokémon from things like sand, hail, and powder.

How it works: Protects Pok�mon from Weather Effects and Powder moves such as Sleep Powder, Poison Powder etc.

How to get a Pokémon with Overcoat

If Overcoat is a regular ability (not Hidden Ability), simply catch the Pokémon and it has a 50% chance per slot of having Overcoat. You can use an Ability Capsule (50 BP at Chansey Supply) to swap between regular ability slots. If Overcoat is the Hidden Ability of one of the 2 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 Overcoat as a regular ability
To transfer a Pokémon with Hidden Ability via Pokémon HOME from older games
