Ability

Alectro's Auto Counter ability activating

Abilities are special powers that some vivosaurs possess. They provide a variety of helpful and harmful effects in battle and require certain conditions to activate. While most vivosaurs have one ability, some may have two (like Nigo) or none at all (like Anato).
