# Hidden Ability Pokémon

Hidden Ability Pokémon are Pokémon with a rarer and usually **more powerful** ability than their normal Pokémon counterparts. **Wild spawns** have a base HA chance of $$\frac{1}{300} \approx 0.33%$$, and can be increased with several chance modifiers.

## Chance Modifiers

{% columns %}
{% column width="50%" %}
All wild HA chance modifiers are applied **additively** to the base chance:

$$
\text{HA chance} = \frac{1 + \sum \text{boost}}{\text{base chance}}
$$

Example (55% boost with a 10% boost):

$$
\frac{1 + 0.55 + 0.1}{300}\Rightarrow \frac{1}{181.81} \approx 0.55%
$$

{% hint style="info" %}
When fully stacked, the maximum possible boost is currently **+105%**, resulting in **0.683%** chance per wild spawn
{% endhint %}
