Every Monster comes with three unique abilities which you can find on their personal details page.  This page is easily accessed via your Team page, at the Monster Center, or in the View User Details page.

"Charlie", for example, has the Maximum Accuracy, Maximum Endurance, and Evasion Master Abilities.  It is important to note, however, that abilities may change from mosnter to monster, even those of the same species!
