What determines a Pokemons ability when it evolves?

Example: Tyrogue, does a specific ability branch off into another specific ability?

Also, can a trace Porygon turn into a Download Porygon when it evolves into Porygon-Z? All I ever have gotten is Adaptibility.

Im keeping this bumped until someone answers it.

nothing determins it... it is completely random... unless you need a porygon with the ability download to pass it on... i only have download porygons...
 
New traits for old pokemon have been added in the new generation that weren't in the last, such as download / adaptability porygon family, solid rock rhyperior and Magic guard clefable. Since a pokemon can only have a shot at two abilities it causes clashes and normally results in a higher evolved pokemon to lose one in their two ability slots.

Most pokemon have a certain trait they will always evolve to obtain. IE Trace porygon will evolve to get adaptability, while the new download porygon will keep download when evolved.
Rock head Rhydon becomes Solid Rock Rhyperior while Lightning Rod Rhydon stays the same.

You won't get any clashes such as Illuminate Staryu evolving into Natural Cure Staryu.


The only time when you can lose your ability is when migrating pokemon over from RSFrLgE. If you transfer a pokemon over and evolve it, for some unknown reason as of now, there is a chance that the pokemon won't evolve to obtain the ability it's meant to, it might just gain the other in its slot. An example would be Rock Head Rhydon being migrated then evolved, but obtaining Lightning Rod, which sucks of course.

It can work both ways though.

It even works in a case where a pokemon doesn't get a new ability, like when Staryu and Starmie both have Illuminate and Natural Cure as their two ability slots in the ADV and DP generations, but migrating then evolving a Staryu still gives the chance of it changing ability. So if you breed a very good Staryu with Natural Cure, make sure you evolve it in the ADV game before transferring it so you don't have the chance of losing the ability.
