Skills (Japanese: スキル Sukiru) are special abilities Yo-kai have that can influence how a battle may go and progress.
There are several varieties of Skills:
- Forward: These abilities are active 100% of the time.
- Activation: These abilities do not become active until their criteria is achieved.
- Continuous: These abilities are active 100%. Unlike Forward Skills, these abilities are static, and are more passive in nature.
- Defensive: These abilities are either activation-based or continuous-based, but are played out in a more defensive manner.

Trivia[]
- Certain Skills have it where they are worded/named differently, but function essentially the same as each other, and may have been reworded to reflect the personality of a Yo-kai. (e.g., the Annoyance and Suspicion Skills, which makes the Yo-kai liable to attack their allies or themselves).
- The Yo-kai that have had their skills changed over games are: Roughraff, Badude, Faysoff, Signibble, Signiton, Slitheref, Ray O'Light, Tyrat, Casanono, Pookivil, Dummkap, Toadal Dude, Uber Geeko and Minochi.
