First, its hue or color reveals something about the personality of the target. The hue of an Aura may change over time if an individual undergoes significant changes in personality or worldview. Second, Auras also appear brightened or darkened at times. Brightened auras can reflect good moods and intentions, whereas darkened auras can reflect a sour mood or deceptive and negative intentions.

It is, how- ever, unable to distinguish colors or exact forms (read- ing words on a book would be impossible, for example). Pokémon and Trainers with Blindsense can function even in complete darkness, as if they had Darkvision, and they can never be Blinded.
Blender: Pokémon with Blender are capable of changing their color to match their surroundings. As a Maneuver, they may increase their Melee Defense by +1 and Ranged Defense +2 until the end of their next turn.

Wild Pokémon that are of this Pokémon’s unevolved form or at least 1 level lower than the user will instantly obey the user’s commands; showing a Pokémon with Pack Mon to a group of Wilds will put them at a Fearful disposition. However, two Pack Mons of the same species and within 1 Level of each other will fight for dominance of the group.

The magnitude of the impending disaster and its proximity to the Pokémon both affect how often they get this sense before a disaster and how long in advance the warning is.

An Aegislash counts as a Fine Weapon and grants the Move Wounding Strike and the Move Bleed!. While used as a Living Weapon, the Pokémon also adds these Moves to its own Move List. Either the Living Weapon or the Wielder can disengage as a Maneuver during their turn to Move and attack separately. Re-engaging is an Action that may be taken by either party. While Wielded, a Living Weapon cannot benefit from its No Guard Ability, and an Aegislash is automatically in Blade forme.

While Kangaskhan have the Baby Template, they live in their mother’s pouch and will not willingly leave it for long; their bond is so strong, that both Pokémon are able to be captured in a single Pokeball during this time. While Kangaskhan has the Baby Template, it cannot be Commanded to fight or take any action. Mother Kangaskhan with a Baby in their pouch are exceptional at protecting their babies; attacks cannot target Kangaskhan inside their mother’s pouch while she is conscious.

Once a Baby Kangaskhan reaches level 3 and loses the Baby Template, it exits its mother’s pouch permanently.

Planter: Pokémon with the Planter Capability can act as a Portable Grower, holding one plant at a time. Pokémon with this Capability may be limited in what they can grow.

Reach: A Pokémon with Reach has the Range of their Melee attacks increased to Short Range. Pokémon with Reach are either really large or have a stretchy limb with which they can strike foes from a distance.
Shapeshifter: Pokémon with this Capability can change their shape at will, taking on different forms as an Action. When using this Capability, the user cannot increase or decrease its total mass by more than 50%, and they cannot replicate complex machines such as computers or phones. They may take on the appearance of these devices, but they will appear simplified in comparison.

If a Pokémon learns the Move Psychic or Telekinesis and does not have the Telekinetic Capability, they gain Telekinetic.
