Explore Abilities Must be Unlocked

If enabled, explore abilities cannot be used until a corresponding item has been collected. The items required to use explore abilities depends on the selected option: Off: Explore Abilities are always available. Type: Monsters are grouped into 16 different categories based on monster type. There are 16 unique items to unlock abilities for all monsters of a given type Ability: Each explore ability must be unlocked separately. For example, unlocking Flying will allow that ability to be used on any monster with the Flying ability Species: Each monster species will require a unique item to unlock its explore ability (excepting evolutions where the ability doesn't change) Progression: Monster abilities are grouped by function and unlocked progressively. This helps to keep more advanced abilities from being made available early in the game Combo: Similar to Progression, except there are a smaller number of progressive groups, and more advanced abilities require combinations of different progression chains
