About the Wind Power ability
Wind Power 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 becomes charged when it is hit by a wind move, boosting the power of the next Electric-type move the Pokémon uses.
How to get a Pokémon with Wind Power
If Wind Power is a regular ability (not Hidden Ability), simply catch the Pokémon and it has a 50% chance per slot of having Wind Power. You can use an Ability Capsule (50 BP at Chansey Supply) to swap between regular ability slots. If Wind Power 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 Wind Power as a regular ability
- To transfer a Pokémon with Hidden Ability via Pokémon HOME from older games
