>>23560750Why would you even take Pokemon's abilities into account in Pokemon lore (apart from legendaries like Groudon and Kyogre)? Generation 2 had no abilities too. And fire is not the only problem in burning tower. There's also falling building and carbon monoxide poisoning.
Hydration is completely different from Quick Feet and Guts. Abilities of other Eeveelutions (Umbreon, Espeon, Sylveon and Leafeon) have connection to status effects too.
Legendary Beasts having the same hidden abilities as 3 old Eeveelutions normal abilities is pretty good catch though. It's a nice connection.
But still. If it's not released - it does not exist. Poor Chandelure.>>23560834There is no need of explanation if there is no proof. Either believe it or not if it's plausible.
