Does SM refresh a mon's ability as based on its personality value when something is moved to it or was that something added in XY and I never noticed before?
I imported a Pelliper from OR to Sun for regionaltism and the ability changed to Drizzle without me needing to feed it an ability capsule.

Close. Most mons with a single ability actually have the same ability on multiple ability slots, which are decided with their personality value. So technically you can have many gen 6 pelipper with keen eye, but some will change to drizzle and others remain. Gengar had levitare on all three slots, and all 3 were changed to cursed body, which is why no gengar got to keep levitate.
Thank god that happened
I saved myself 5 ability capsules that i was going to use on my Beartic, Vanilluxe, Gigalith, Pelipper and Torkoal. They all changed abilities after the transfer

Nice luck, anon.
>mfw Vanilluxe is actually more viable in VGC than most people's favorites now

except literally nobody uses vanilluxe because alolan ninetales exists

Not true, it's less common, but it's viable. Vanilluxe is better for Blizzard spam while Ninetales is more about supporting with Aurora Veil and other things
