As with most new Mainstream Pokemon Games,
Pokemon Sword & Shield includes a number of updates to previous Pokemon
Abilities. This is mainly done to either make a Pokemon a little bit stronger or a little bit weaker if they are considered over powered, but the Pokemon Company sometimes does this to help a trainer on their journey. In total, fourteen Legacy Abilities have now been updated.
