What are Main Skills?

Skills Specific to Pokemon Species

Main Skills are specific to each Pokemon Species, and have various effects that trigger randomly when interacting with Pokemon in the field.

Unlike Sub Skills, main skills are specific to each Pokemon, so recruiting multiple Pikachus for example, will result in all of them having the same Main Skill, despite having different Sub Skills.
