How does an Ability Capsule interact with Hidden Abilities?
In Pokemon Ultra Moon, I have a Alolan Marowak with the ability Lighting Rod. But what I really want is his ability to be Rock Head. I farmed and tried to give him an ability capsule, but the ability capsule said that it was going to turn him into a Cursed Body Marowak.
If I change him into an Cursed Body Marowak and give him a ability capsule again, will it turn him into a Rock Head Marowak, or will it just switch him back into a Lighting Rod Marowak? Rock Head is not a hidden ability.

It will just switch it back to Lighting Rod
As you can see here, Marowak, it's hidden ability is Rock Head, and Hidden Abilities don't change with ability capsule.
Let me explain real quick. Each pokemon has 3 ability slots, in Marowak and it's preevolution case, they have 3 different (Pokemon with just 1 ability used the first 2 slot for the same ability).
Cubone has the next abilities:
- Rock Head.
- Lightningrod
- Hidden Ability: Battle Armor
And A-Marowak has the next ones:
- Cursed Body
- Lightningrod
- Hidden Ability: Rock Head
And abilities change based on their ability slot, for example, if you get a Rock Head Cubone, it will become a Cursed Body A-Marowak, so, if you want a Rock Head A-Marowak, you need to breed or SOS Chain a Battle Armor Cubone.

The point of an Ability Capsule is to swap the ability of a Pokemon, and it only works on certain Pokemon who have two abilities that can be swapped. For example, Rookidee can have either Keen Eye or Unnerve, and if you don't like Keen Eye, you can use an Ability Capsule to manually swap the ability to Unnerve.Can you have ability and hidden ability?
Some species of Pok\xe9mon have multiple possible Abilities. The most Abilities any species or form has is three: two normal Abilities and one Hidden Ability. In most wild Pok\xe9mon encounters, the Pok\xe9mon's Ability will be one of its non-Hidden Abilities (each having an even chance of appearing if the species has two).How does the ability capsule work BDSP?
Ability Capsule changes a Pokemon's ability. For example, Roserade has access to both Natural Cure and Poison Point. If you use an Ability Capsule on a Roserade that has Natural Cure, it's ability will now be Poison Point.
