About the Well-Baked Body ability

How to get a Pokémon with Well-Baked Body
If Well-Baked Body is a regular ability (not Hidden Ability), simply catch the Pokémon and it has a 50% chance per slot of having Well-Baked Body. You can use an Ability Capsule (50 BP at Chansey Supply) to swap between regular ability slots. If Well-Baked Body is the Hidden Ability of one of the 1 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 Well-Baked Body as a regular ability
- To transfer a Pokémon with Hidden Ability via Pokémon HOME from older games
