About the Protosynthesis ability

Protosynthesis 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: Boosts the Pokémon's most proficient stat in harsh sunlight or if the Pokémon is holding Booster Energy.

How it works: Increases the user's highest stat by 30% while Sunny Day is activated or if the Booster Energy is attached

How to get a Pokémon with Protosynthesis

If Protosynthesis is a regular ability (not Hidden Ability), simply catch the Pokémon and it has a 50% chance per slot of having Protosynthesis. You can use an Ability Capsule (50 BP at Chansey Supply) to swap between regular ability slots. If Protosynthesis is the Hidden Ability of one of the 7 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 Protosynthesis as a regular ability
  • To transfer a Pokémon with Hidden Ability via Pokémon HOME from older games
