Inkay-Malamar ability

[Noctelis 12]

Caught an Inkay with Suction Cups, used an ability capsule to get Contrary and yet after evolving to Malamar it suddenly turned into infiltrator without using another ability capsule.

  You had to use 2 ability capsules to get to Contrary. Ability capsules cycle through the abilities in a specific order so if you had suction cups it worked like this. Suction cups -> Infiltrator (1st capsule) Infiltrator->Contrary (2nd capsule)

[Noctelis 12]

Infiltrator is HA.

[Plok 293]

you can get HA in reborn with ability capsules. did you only use one abiltiy capsule?

[Noctelis 12]

I know you can get HA in reborn, but you don't skip 2nd ability when using ability capsule.

And after using an ability capsule on Inkay I KNOW it turned into contrary.

The problem is that the ability turned into infiltrator when evolving into Malamar.

well I can't replicate this

Ability capsules rotate abilities from primary to secondary to hidden ability, when I use an ability capsule on my malamar (who has Infiltrator) it rotates to contrary.

that's how it i supposed to work: contrary->suction cups->infiltrator(HA)->back to contrary
