Ability Capsule, a similar item, only allows Pokemon to change between non-Hidden Abilities.

As a new feature in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, Ability Patch can now be used to switch a Pokemon's Hidden Ability to its first regular Ability, although it cannot be used to directly switch to the Pokemon's second regular Ability.
You can obtain Ability Patch as a reward for completing the Academy Ace Tournament. The Academy Ace Tournament is unlocked after completing the game and defeating all 8 Gym Leaders in a rematch..
A variety of items are rewarded to the player for each successful run at the tournament, with Ability Patch included in the reward pool.

While you can use this method to get half the items, it is recommended you get these via the Double Item Time to save up on Materials.
The Item Printer was found to generate items the second you press the "I want to print something" text. This can then be exploited by changing your Nintendo Switch's internal time and obtain prints that are consistent and can be replicated by anyone.
How to Do the Indigo Disk Item Printer RNG Exploit
Players who choose to try any of the 7-Star Tera Raid Events can earn a handful of useful rewards including an Ability Patch. Make sure to try out this unique challenge while it lasts.
Compared to the 7★ Charizard Raid Battle, Ability Patches are a rare drop from 6★ Tera Raid Battles, so your chances of getting the item easily might be lower than other items.
An Ability Patch can be received as a reward after registering 230 Pokemon in the Blueberry Pokedex.
To claim the reward, press the X button in the Blueberry Pokedex menu to open the Pokedex Rewards menu. Then press the X button again to claim the reward.
