i had a female dream world pliwag and evolved it to poliwhirl then to politoad but instead of having drizzle it got water absorb i dont know why will someone help me the poliwag and poliwhirl had swift swim
 
You traded the Poliwhirl to another game while it was holding the King's Rock, correct?
 
Hmmmmmm, seems like you got unlucky with the ability on the trade process.
Out of another curiosity, what games did you use to do the trading?

I do know that sometimes (especially with breeding) that if a Pokemon has 3 abilities- you still run the risk of getting the wrong desired ability. I will need to look into trading for evolving to see if that is the case- But I also wonder as to why you did not get Drizzle.

I will look into this a bit more, and see what could be the reason behind the wrong ability, as to the odds and all that.
 
Frankly the only way to get it messed up like that is either you were wrong in that it did not actually have swift swim or a cheating device was used and when it was traded it corrected the ability to the PID.
 
^Yeah, I thought there might be a chance that the wrong nature could accure for trade evolution- but it is only in breeding that the chance can happen to get the wrong ability. (I did touch up my memory a bit on the breeding though, lol)

Sorry Pokesam128- no real explanation other then what Ulti pointed out.
