In the TCG, are there abilities that can be activated when the Pokemon is in the hand or discard pile?

Question

i have a Garbodor that says

Ability: Garbotoxin

If this Pokemon has a Pokemon Tool card attached to it, each Pokemon in play,
in each players hand, and each players discard pile has no Abilities (except for Garbotoxin)

When I read this I was like huh?! is this even possible? so I want to know what the question
asks and if they are can you give me a list of them. Thanks in advance :)

Answer 1

Yes there are. I have no interest in listing all of the Pokemon that have this, so if you require all of them, I'll hide my answer and let someone with more time on their hands deal with that. But I'll give two examples.
