Having Issues with Hisuin forms not being able to have their Hidden Abilities.

Hi. I'm having issues with the Hisuian forms not being able to have their Hidden Abilities in PLA. Below is a screenshot.

How did you get this Decidueye to have the hidden ability? Is it that it was from a different game where it originally had the hidden ability OR moved from PLA, got the hidden ability and moved back in? Because if that mon was only in PLA then, as far as I know, there is no way to change its ability and maybe that is why it is flagging it.

I went into the encounter database and selected the Hisuian Form Decidueye and clicked on the Hidden Ability. This Mon is only in PLA.

Given that the mon has only been in PLA, you should be able to set the latest non OT trainer data in the "OT/Misc" tab for  the mon and that should make it legal to have the hidden ability.

No it still says illegal.

@theSLAYER could you help me with this? Sorry for any inconveniance.

Abilities aren’t a thing players can see in Legend Arceus (besides Slow Start), and there isn’t an ability patch available, so I imagine all encounters are non-HA.

thus don’t make any of them HA.

 

Also, the Mon you’ve shown cannot be transferred out to SWSH, so an ability patch can’t be used on them in SWSH.

Gotcha. That makes more sense now. Thank you!

Since the encounter was as Decidueye which couldn't be in any other game rather than as a Rowlet or Dartrix the solution I said wouldn't have worked. I had only considered mons that where they (or earlier evolutions) were transferable to SwSh or BDSP in my solution since those have ability patch. So that is why it was still illegal and also my suggested solution won't work for Hisuian forms since they can't be transfer to those games.
