If you are looking to unlock Hidden Abilities of your Pokémon, then you need to look for an Ability Patch, an item that can be well worth it in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet. Ability Patches are different from Ability Capsules, as they help the Pokémon discover their Hidden Abilities. This Pokémon Scarlet and Violet Ability Patches Guide will show you how to get an Ability Patch and how to use them in the game.
It is worth mentioning that the Ability Patch does not work on all Pokémon in unlocking their hidden abilities. There are only some Pokémon that might have a hidden ability that can be unlocked using this item. Having said that, it is an invaluable item that can bring out more in your Pokémon if used.

Now that you know what Ability Patches do, let’s take a look at how to actually get them.
How to Get Ability Patches
Ability Patches are going to be a tough item to obtain, as they can only be obtained when you finish 6-tier Tera Raid battles, and that too by chance after you have completed at least 12 first battles. The patches are pretty rare and are different from Ability Capsules which let you change the current ability of your Pokémon.
As we mentioned before, not all Pokémon might have Hidden Abilities, which might put you off from getting one. But there is a way of finding out if a Pokémon has a hidden ability without actually using an Ability Patch. This can be done by playing in 5-star or higher Tera Raid battles which will give you Pokémon that come with Hidden Abilities.
Another way of getting Pokémon with Hidden Abilities is by trading with people looking to exchange them with another Pokemon.
This way of getting a Pokémon after beating and catching them gives you a high chance of a Pokémon with a hidden ability. An example of a Pokémon with such an ability is Vaporeon with its Water Absorb ability, a very useful ability to have.
