About the Static ability

Static 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: The Pokémon is charged with static electricity, so contact with it may cause paralysis.

How it works: The opponent has a 30% chance of being induced with PARALYZE when using an attack, that requires physical contact, against this Pok�mon.

How to get a Pokémon with Static

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