Does Roaring Skies Altaria (#74) have a Hidden Ability?

1 minute read

I have a card in my collection that is kind of odd to me. I want to know if this is something like a hidden ability or something else. I have an Altaria from Roaring Skies. Here is the cards information.

STAGE 1AltariaHP 90Colorless(Here’s what I think might be a hidden ability)4 Evolution: You may play this card from your hand to evolve a Pokémon during your first turn or the turn you play that Pokémon.

(Ability): Clear HummingEach of your * Pokémon has no weakness.

** Wing Attack 30

Weakness: Lightning x2Resistance: Fighting -20Retreat: *

This is not the only Pokémon I’ve seen in TCG with this kind of “hidden ability” (if that’s what it is) like that. So my question is, is this something like a hidden ability? If so, is there a special way to treat it or does it get used just like any other ability?

Ancient Traits are special effects given to certain Pokémon, starting in the Primal Clash expansion. They are not Abilities, and as such, effects that would prevent Abilities from activating (such as Garbodor’s Garbotoxin or Wobbuffet’s Bide Barricade) do not apply.
