Affected moves

The table below lists the moves affected by Aerilate, as well as the Pokémon that can have Aerilate and learn those moves.

Although the following moves are affected by the Ability, they currently cannot be learned by any Pokémon with Aerilate. They may, however, be called via Metronome, Mirror Move, Copycat, or Mimic, or be used by a Pokémon that gained Aerilate by an Ability like Trace or Receiver or a move such as Skill Swap or Role Play.

Outside of battle

Trivia

  • Not counting signature Abilities that Pokémon gain via Mega Evolution, this is the only Ability restricted to Mega Evolutions; therefore, it has been removed from the core series as of Generation VIII.
