Yes (filler)

Answer 1

Yep!

An individual Pokémon with its Hidden Ability will retain its Ability slot upon evolution (i.e. its Ability will become its evolved form's Hidden Ability).

Eevee’s Hidden Ability slot is taken up by Anticipation. Espeon’s Hidden Ability slot is taken up by Magic Bounce. According to Bulbapedia, if a Pokémon with a Hidden Ability evolves, the evolved form will have its respective Hidden Ability. Therefore, if an Anticipation Eevee evolves into Espeon, the Espeon will have Magic Bounce.

Hope I helped!
