What are Rare Qualities?

Special Passive Abilities that Pokemon Have

Rare Qualities are passive skills that are quite similar to the Abilities Pokemon usually have. However, they affect the whole party instead of just the Pokemon that has it. For example, if your Pikachu has the XP Boost Rare Quality which boosts Experience Points gained from defeating enemy Pokemon, then the whole party will get the boost as well.

How to Get Rare Qualities

You can get random Rare Qualities by consuming Rainbow Gummi and DX Gummi.

Even if your Pokemon has a Rare Quality, they can get new ones by consuming Gummis. However, they can only learn one at a time similar to Pokemon moves.

When you get a Rare Quality from a Gummi, you will need to replace your old one if to get the new one. You can always refuse to replace it if you like the old one better.

Do Rare Qualities Stack?

Rare Qualities do not stack, so you'll want to bring Pokemon with a variety of Rare Qualities.

For example, having two Pokemon with XP Boost won't increase the XP gain more than just having one Pokemon with it.

However, Friendly and Squad Up are two different Rare Qualities and does stack, so you can make some good combinations as long as you make sure there is no overlap.
