Pokémon Rumble World - Pokémon Traits

Pokémon Traits

Like previous Pokémon Rumble games, Pokémon Rumble World has special Pokémon Traits for Pokémon you find in the wild in the game. These traits are somewhat akin to the Pokémon Abilities from the main series and cannot be changed. You will notice the ability when you obtain the Pokémon due to the pink text that accompanies a Pokémon. The abilities typically are beneficial, allowing for boosts in the strengths or defences of the Pokémon you use in the levels.

Some of the traits don't just come in one form, but also come in + and ++ varieties which increase the effect of the trait.

Special Traits

Later in the game, you will also uncover a variety of Pokémon with Blue Traits, including ones you receive through passwords. These mostly appear in the game once you have reached Rank 50. These special blue traits are unique in that they give Pokémon between one and six different traits at once, giving a special boost to your Pokémon, and only that Pokémon.
