How to Get Hidden Abilities

The only way you can get hidden abilities is through the Max Raid Battles. This can be done by getting the Dynamax Band that you can get in the story playthrough of the game. There will come a point where you will be given the Dynamax Band that will allow you to participate in Max Raid Battles.

With the band, you need to go to Wild Area where you will find red beams of light that indicate the Max Raid Battles. Fighting against the Pokémon in these battles gives you a lot of rewards. Defeating a Pokémon also means that you capture it. If you are lucky enough, you might get a Pokémon that has a hidden ability that you can use.
