Abilities gained through evolution

Easy to wear!
Let's say we have a Pokemon with a single evolution.

Infant -> Adult

If the adult form has a different ability than the baby form, but could also have the baby's ability, will the baby "reroll" its ability when it evolves, with a 50/50 chance of learning either ability, or will it stick with the ability it already had? Or is it a preset stat somewhere that won't change?

Confusing stuff.
 
Are you talking about something like Rhydon/Rhyperior? If the Rhydon has Lightningrod and evolves, it will have Lightningrod still. But if it has Rock Head, it will get Hard Stone. If its evolution can have the same ability, it will keep that ability.
 
Gotcha. I was actually talking about Tangela/Tangrowth. I wanted to raise a Tangela in LeafGreen, then trade it over to Pearl. I wasn't sure if, when it evolved, it would have a chance of getting Leaf Guard, or if it'd just keep Chlorophyll.

Ah well. Guess I'll wait. :[
 
chlorophyll stays that and leaf guard stays that..... any 3rd gen ones you raise and evolve with be chlorophyll unless the game glitches.

So if we wanted to train a Yanmega with Speed Boost, we would need to find a Yanma with Speed Boost and not Compoundeyes?

Yes, because Yanmega keeps its ability from Yanma.
