"Pokemon Scarlet and Violet" offers another gimmick to the fans as terastalization enters the game.
Unlike mega evolution, which entirely changes the appearance of a Pokemon, this feature not only tweaks how your Pokemon looks. It also changes the type of a Pokemon depending on the crystal.
Aside from new fighting mechanics, a new set of items have also arrived, including the Ability Shield. This item protects the holder's ability from being stolen or changed.
If you want to know where to find this item in the Paldea region, here's everything you need to know.
How to Find Ability Shield in 'Pokemon Scarlet and Violet'
This guide will help you find the location of Ability Shield in the Paldea region.
According to Prima Games, you can buy the Ability Shield once you go to Mesagoza, where the Delibird Presents store is located. It won't require you to complete the gym challenge anymore.
It's an important item used in online battles, especially if your enemy has a move that can swap or steal your ability. It will cost you 20,000 Pokedollars, but it's worth the price if you know how to use it efficiently during the battle.
Of course, no new player would spend that amount, especially at the start of the game. But for those who have already finished the game and want to test their skills in a competitive battle, the Ability Shield is worth-keeping.
For those who usually engage in competitive fights, Ability Shield is only situational, unlike the other items such as Choice Scarf or Choice Specs, which are commonly used in online battles.

How to Obtain Belly Drum Azumarill via Breeding
For players who want to use Azumarill online, there's a need to teach it Belly Drum, a powerful move that increases your Attack at the cost of half of your HP.
According to Gamerant, there are two techniques on how to get an Azumarill with Belly Drum. The first one is by breeding and the second one is by mirror herb method. However, we will only discuss the slower method.
For the breeding method, you need to catch a male Zangoose in the southernmost part of the region. Once you successfully catch this Pokemon, make it remember Belly Drum so it can pass the move to its offspring.
Another alternative to Zangoose is a female Eiscue which you can find on the northern shoreline, but this is only exclusive to Pokemon Violet.
The next thing you need to do is to make a sandwich at the picnic table where Eiscue and Zangoose sit. Make sure to feed them any sandwich that gives the Egg Power boost. Wait for some moments until you see an egg.
Once a male Eiscue with Belly Drum hatches, you need a female Azurill, Marill, or Azumarill. Breed them and repeat the same steps when you breed Eiscue with Zangoose.
