About the Unaware ability

Unaware 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: When attacking, the Pokémon ignores the target Pokémon's stat changes.

How it works: Foe�s stat modifications are ignored.

How to get a Pokémon with Unaware

If Unaware is a regular ability (not Hidden Ability), simply catch the Pokémon and it has a 50% chance per slot of having Unaware. You can use an Ability Capsule (50 BP at Chansey Supply) to swap between regular ability slots. If Unaware is the Hidden Ability of one of the 5 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 Unaware as a regular ability
To transfer a Pokémon with Hidden Ability via Pokémon HOME from older games
