Can you use the Poké Radar to find hidden ability Pokemon in X and Y?

1 minute read

I’ve been trying to get a Heatmor with its hidden ability in Pokemon X to transfer to my gen 7 games. I know getting a Heatmor with its hidden ability is possible in X and Y but I’m not 100% sure how. I know you can do so via horde encounter on Route 18, but I tried that for a few hours without encountering a single Durant horde with a Heatmor in it.

I know you can use the Poké Radar in BDSP to get hidden ability Pokemon, so I just kind of assumed the same could be done in X and Y. I decided to give that a try and found it to be a lot easier to find Heatmor via Poké Radar, but I’ve been going at it for three days straight and still haven’t found one with its hidden ability. Do I simply need to keep trying or have I just been wasting my time?

I tried looking this up myself, but I haven’t been able to find anything definitive so I’m at a loss.

No.

Hidden Abilities are found in some Pokémon fromFriend Safari’s and Hordes.

None of the sources I checked(Serebii, Bulbapedia etc.)said anything about Hidden Abilities in PokeRadar Pokémon in X/Y, so that probably means that there are no Hidden Ability Pokémon when using it.This source does not mention anything about PokeRadar too. Your best chances are Friend Safari’s and Hordes.
