Have Any Pokemon Ever Changed Abilities When Going Into a New New Generation?

eg: in one gen-4 a Pokemon had sturdy and in gen-5 it had levitate.

I’m assuming what you mean is that Pokemon A had sturdy in generation 4 as its only ability and in generation 5 Pokemon A’s sturdy was instead replaced with levitate? Then no, there is no instance of that.

There are abilities that did change when transferring from generation 3 to 4 and generation 3 up to 5 when you evolved the traded Pokemon in the new generation. I’m not exactly sure this is what sumwun meant to say, but based on your Pokemon’s PID, your Pokemon’s ability could change in the transfer from generation 3 to 4. More info on that can be foundhere. If you transfer a Pokemon all the way from generation 3 to 6 and then evolve it, it will keep its ability slot.

Edit:There were unreleased Hidden Abilities in generation 5, and some of them were changed and distributed upon the release of Generation 6.

(And yes, you can always hack and change it manually.)Just ask if you have any more questions. :)

Color Change was replaced by Protean on Kecleon. This is the only example that comes to mind right now.
