Pokémon Black Version and Pokémon White Version - Timing Notes

Pokémon Black Version and Pokémon White Version - Turn Phases

Every turn consists of these phases:

  1. Each player chooses a command for each Pokémon in battle, at the same time. For each Pokémon in battle he or she controls, a player does one of the following: have the Pokémon use one of its moves; use an item from the Bag (in battles that allow it); or switch it out for another Pokémon (that Pokémon must be an unfainted Pokémon not in battle, and not an Egg, controlled by that player). Triple Battles also include a Shift command, and In Rotation Battles, the "rotate left" and "rotate right" commands are also available, and commands can be chosen only for Pokémon that are rotated in.
  2. Switching (resolved in turn order)
  3. Use of items
  4. Pokémon are rotated in and out, if this is a Rotation Battle. (Resolved in turn order.)
  5. Attacks
  6. End-of-turn effects

Pokémon Black Version and Pokémon White Version - Priority and Turn Order

Turn order is determined two times each turn: once after commands are chosen, and again at the end of each turn (before end-of-turn effects).

In Rotation Battles, if a side chooses to rotate another Pokémon in, the turn order is determined according to the Pokémon that will be rotated in.

Because of a bug, however, Trick Room’s effect treats a Pokémon with a current Speed of 1809 or greater as having a Speed of 0, thus allowing such a Pokémon to strike before those with Speeds higher than 0 while Trick Room is in effect.

After commands are chosen, a Pokémon’s Quick Claw can be activated at a 20% chance, but only if it chose a move or the Shift command (without rotating out or being rotated in) that turn, or didn’t take any action this turn. If it activates, the Pokémon strikes before all other Pokémon with the same or lower priority level. This effect doesn’t apply to the end of the turn. (Each Pokémon with a Quick Claw has a separate chance to activate.)

After commands are chosen, a Pokémon’s Custap Berry is activated (and is consumed) if it has the required amount of HP remaining, but only if it chose a move or the Shift command (without rotating out or being rotated in) that turn, or didn’t take any action this turn. If it activates, the Pokémon strikes before all other Pokémon with the same or lower priority level. This effect doesn’t apply to the end of the turn.

Pokémon Black Version and Pokémon White Version - Switching Out

When a Pokémon enters the battle, the following effects are applied in order:

  1. Healing Wish/Lunar Dance
  2. Toxic Spikes/Stealth Rock/Spikes (applied in the order in which they came into effect; Toxic Spikes applies even if the Pokémon faints because of Spikes/Stealth Rock)
  3. Abilities

If more than one Pokémon is chosen when Pokémon are switched in from fainted ones, the above effects don’t happen until all those Pokémon enter the battle (resolved in order of Speed, taking Trick Room into account). At any other time when more than one Pokémon is chosen, the effects happen immediately after the Pokémon enters the battle.

If more than one Pokémon is switched in from fainted ones at the same time, their controllers choose both the new Pokémon to be switched in and their positions, where the choices are revealed only after all those players have finished making their choices.

At the beginning of a battle, however, all Pokémon enter the battle, then the above effects resolve for each Pokémon, from highest to lowest Speed.

Pokémon Black Version and Pokémon White Version - Use of Items

Starting in Pokémon Black Version and Pokémon White Version, even for items such as X Attack and the like, the player chooses a Pokémon that is controlled by the player and that the item will be used on. An item can be chosen this way even if it won’t have any effect at the time it’s chosen, unlike in games before Pokémon Black Version and Pokémon White Version. The Pokémon the item is used on need not be the same as the Pokémon the command was chosen for. If more than one Pokémon uses an item, each of those commands is resolved in turn order.

Bag

In the Bag shown during battle, there are four sections:

  • HP/PP RESTORE - Items that restore HP or PP, such as Full Restore, Leppa Berry, and Potion. (Items that revive fainted Pokémon are not included here.)
  • POKÉ BALLS - Items for catching Pokémon.
  • STATUS RESTORE - Items that cure poison, burn, paralysis, freezing, sleep, and confusion, and revive fainted Pokémon, such as Antidote, Full Heal, Full Restore, and Revive.
  • BATTLE ITEMS - Items for escaping from a wild Pokémon battle or that improve the condition of a Pokémon in a battle, such as Dire Hit, Guard Spec., Poké Toy, and X Speed.

Wonder Launcher

Some Link Battles allow the use of the Wonder Launcher, a device that throws disc-like items to Pokémon during battle. Using an item with the Wonder Launcher is largely similar to using an item from the Bag, except that each item costs points to use. A single side starts with 0 points and can’t have more than 14 points at once.

At the beginning of each turn, before commands are chosen, each side will earn points as follows:

  • 2 points in Triple Battles, if there are fewer than three Pokémon in battle on that side, or
  • 1 point otherwise.

Items that can be used with the Wonder Launcher are given in the item list with a specific cost, like "cost 2" or "cost 5". The cost is deducted when the item is chosen (if the item choice is then canceled, the points are refunded).

In a Wonder Launcher battle, the "Launcher" command replaces the "Bag" command and contains all the items usable with the Wonder Launcher, even those that cost more points than available.

Pokémon Black Version and Pokémon White Version - Before the Attack

Before a Pokémon uses an attack, the following effects are checked, in this order:

Not determined yet.

If the pre-attack checks succeed, the Pokémon uses the move, PP is reduced, and targets are determined. If there is no PP remaining or there is no target, the process stops. (In these cases, Snatch doesn’t consider the attack as used.)

The exception to PP reduction is Struggle when it’s chosen for use automatically because the Pokémon has no moves it could choose.

Pokémon Black Version and Pokémon White Version - Obedience Check

In battles in which Exp. Points can be gained, if the Pokémon tries to attack, the Pokémon’s 32-bit ID number, OT (Original Trainer) name, or both are different from those of the player, and its level is greater than the player’s "badge level", then an obedience check is done to determine whether the attack can be used.

With the following Badges, Pokémon up to the given levels will obey the player:

  • (no Badge) - Level 10
  • Trio Badge - Level 20
  • Basic Badge - Level 30
  • Insect Badge - Level 40
  • Bolt Badge - Level 50
  • Quake Badge - Level 60
  • Jet Badge - Level 70
  • Freeze Badge - Level 80
  • Legend Badge - Level 100

Pokémon Black Version and Pokémon White Version - Targeting

The game now finds the attack’s target. This largely depends on the attack.

The possible ranges are:

  • All exc. user: All Pokémon adjacent to the user.
  • All opposing Pokémon: All opposing Pokémon adjacent to the user.
  • All Pokémon in battle
  • Ally: A single ally adjacent to the user. If user doesn’t have an ally as commands are chosen, user doesn’t choose a target.)
  • Both sides
  • No particular target
  • Opposing Pokémon’s side
  • Random opposing Pokémon: A single opposing Pokémon adjacent to the user, selected at random.
  • Single exc. user: A single Pokémon adjacent to the user, selected at random.
  • Single opposing Pokémon: A single opposing Pokémon adjacent to the user
  • User
  • User and allies: User and its allies (even those not adjacent)
  • User or ally: Either the user or one of its adjacent allies.
  • User’s side

As targets are chosen, a move can target a position even if a Pokémon isn’t occupying it, unlike in games before Pokémon Black Version and Pokémon White Version. This behavior applies to Double Battles in the same way as Triple Battles.

If the attack has a single target and targets a position on the user’s side, the attack will fail if there is no Pokémon at that position as that attack is used. If the attack has a single target and targets a position on the opposing Pokémon’s side, and there is no Pokémon at the targeted position as the attack is used, the following steps are taken:

  • If there is one or more opposing Pokémon adjacent to the targeted position that the attack could target, the attack will target one of them at random.
  • Otherwise, if there is one or more opposing Pokémon that the attack could target, the attack will target one of them at random.
  • Otherwise, the attack will do nothing for having no target.

An attack that can’t be used because it has no target is considered to fail and is not considered to be "prevented from being used".

These effects can change the target of moves and are applied in this order.

  1. Follow Me takes effect. If the attack is redirected to another target, the Lightningrod/Storm Drain effect below is ignored. (See attack description for Follow Me for details.)
  2. If a Pokémon other than the target has Lightningrod or Storm Drain, the attack is redirected to that target. (See those Abilities' descriptions for details.)
  3. If Magic Coat is in effect for the target, or the target has Magic Bounce, when certain moves are used, that target uses that attack instead. (See description for Magic Coat or Magic Bounce for details. If this effect happens, effects that trigger whenever that target is targeted by an attack don’t happen.)

The Pressure ability takes into account the target determined after Follow Me, Lightningrod, and Storm Drain are applied.

In Triple Battles, many kinds of moves can’t target Pokémon in battle that are not adjacent to the user. The moves affected are those with a range of "single Pokémon except user", "user or adjacent ally", "single adjacent ally", "single opposing Pokémon", "all Pokémon except user", "all opposing Pokémon", "all Pokémon in battle", and "single opposing Pokémon selected at random". Moves that are an exception to this rule have flag "n" in the list of moves.

Pokémon Black Version and Pokémon White Version - Accuracy Check

After targets are found, the attack proceeds against each target.

Exact accuracy check not determined yet.

Accuracy Stat Stage

Multipliers for the accuracy stat stage. After applying the multiplier, the result is rounded down and set to 100 if it’s greater than 100.

  • -6: 3/9
  • -5: 3/8
  • -4: 3/7
  • -3: 3/6
  • -2: 3/5
  • -1: 3/4
  • 0: 3/3
  • 1: 4/3
  • 2: 5/3
  • 3: 6/3
  • 4: 7/3
  • 5: 8/3
  • 6: 9/3

Pokémon Black Version and Pokémon White Version - During the attack

If the attack hits and the attack deals damage, its damage is calculated.

Otherwise, if the attack hits, the attack’s effect happens, if possible.

Pokémon Black Version and Pokémon White Version - Critical Hits

  • Set C to 0.
  • If the attacker has Super Luck, add 1 to C.
  • If Focus Energy is in effect for attacker, add 2 to C.
  • If attack has a "good chance for a critical hit", add 1 to C.
  • If attacker is Chansey with Lucky Punch, add 2 to C.
  • If attacker is Farfetch’d with Stick, add 2 to C.
  • If Dire Hit 2 was used on the attacker, add 1 to C for one use, or add 2 to C for two or more uses.
  • If Dire Hit 3 was used on the attacker, add 2 to C.
  • If the attacker is holding Scope Lens or Razor Claw, add 1 to C.
  • The critical hit chance is as follows:
    • C = 0: 1/16
    • C = 1: 1/8
    • C = 2: 1/4
    • C = 3: 1/3
    • C = 4 or more: 1/2

Pokémon Black Version and Pokémon White Version - Stat Stages

Stat stages refer to levels that raise or lower stats during a battle. Each stat stage has 13 different levels.

Stat Stage -6 -5 -4 -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3 4 5 6
Stat Multiplier 10/40 10/35 10/30 10/25 10/20 10/15 10/10 15/10 20/10 25/10 30/10 35/10 40/10

That stat scale applies to the stat stages for Attack, Defense, Special Attack, Special Defense, and Speed. At the start of a battle, each Pokémon’s stat stages begin at 0. The stat stages for a Pokémon are reset to 0 when the Pokémon leaves the battle, (except Baton Pass). Each stat stage can’t go lower than -6 or higher than 6.

To apply stat stages, multiply the stat by the stat multiplier for the corresponding stat stage.

The term "stat stages" refers to those for Attack, Defense, Special Attack, Special Defense, and Speed, as well as those for evasiveness and accuracy (see Accuracy check ).

Pokémon Black Version and Pokémon White Version - Type Matchup Chart

Attack types are the rows; Pokémon types are the columns. If a Pokémon has two types, the type matchups from both types are multiplied.

Pokémon Black Version and Pokémon White Version - After the attack

After an attack is successful, the following happens:

  1. Most "attack is successful" effects
  2. Additional effects
  3. Items that trigger on low HP, being poisoned or confused, and so on can trigger here
  4. Grudge/Rage
  5. Most Ability effects
  6. Items that trigger on low HP, being poisoned or confused, and so on can trigger here
  7. Item effects that trigger if the target is hit by the attack (including Air Balloon and Sticky Barb)
  8. Items that trigger on low HP, being poisoned or confused, and so on can trigger here
  9. The target faints if it has 0 HP
  10. Destiny Bond if the target fainted
  11. Recoil/Struggle
  12. Items that trigger on low HP, being poisoned or confused, and so on can trigger here
  13. Attacker’s Shell Bell
  14. The target thaws out if attack is a Fire-type attack
  15. Rapid Spin/Circle Throw/Dragon Tail/Pluck/Bug Bite/SmellingSalt/Wake-Up Slap/Thief/Covet (only if attacker hasn’t fainted)

After all hits of a successful attack have resolved (Ability and item effects mentioned below don’t occur if the attacker has Sheer Force and the attack has an additional effect):

  1. Color Change
  2. Red Card (only if attacker and item’s holder haven’t fainted)
  3. Eject Button message (only if item’s holder hasn’t fainted; if more than one target’s Eject Button could trigger, only the first such target in turn order triggers).
  4. Shell Bell/Life Orb (only if attacker hasn’t fainted)
  5. Eject Button effect (only if item’s holder hasn’t fainted). If effect happens, the U-turn message/effect doesn’t happen.
  6. U-turn message (only if attacker hasn’t fainted)
  7. Pickpocket (only if the target hasn’t fainted)
  8. U-turn effect (only if attacker hasn’t fainted)

If a Pokémon that gained an Ability through an effect faints, its Ability doesn’t revert to its original until the above effects finish resolving.

Pokémon Black Version and Pokémon White Version - End of turn

Before applying end-of-turn effects, the priority for the turn is again calculated.

Exact order of effects is not determined yet.

Pokémon Black Version and Pokémon White Version - Switching Upon Fainting

A Pokémon is not changed to a different one immediately after it faints, but rather at the very end of the turn, after all end-of-turn effects. Some exceptions are mentioned in the list of moves using wording like "The new Pokémon enters the battle immediately."

{In Single Battles as well as Double Battles, if a Pokémon faints during its attack segment, the other Pokémon can still take their attack segment if they haven’t done so already.}

Pokémon Black Version and Pokémon White Version - Chance of Running in Wild Battles

Not determined yet.

Pokémon Black Version and Pokémon White Version - Single Battle

A Single Battle is a battle with one Pokémon in battle on each side. When a Single Battle starts, the first Pokémon on each side enters the battle.

Pokémon Black Version and Pokémon White Version - Double Battle

A Double Battle is a battle with two Pokémon in battle on each side. When a Double Battle starts, the first Pokémon on each side takes the left position, and the second Pokémon on each side takes the right position. If there are two Trainers on a single side, instead the first Pokémon on the left Trainer’s party takes the left position of that side, and the first Pokémon on the right Trainer’s party takes the right position of that side.

In Double Battles with wild Pokémon, effects of moves and held items can’t cause the battle to end. (Red Card won’t trigger.) However, the player can still end such battles using a Poké Toy, Fluffy Tail, Pok Doll, or the Run command.

Pokémon Black Version and Pokémon White Version - Attack Explanations

Pokémon Black Version and Pokémon White Version - Descriptions of Common Effects

Effects that are common to many attacks are described below. Of the effects listed here, a Pokémon will remain poisoned, burned, paralysis, frozen, and asleep even when the Pokémon leaves the battle, including when a battle ends. (However, a Pokémon will stop being poisoned, burned, paralyzed, frozen, and asleep, as well as have full HP and PP, when it’s taken to a Pokémon Center nurse or placed in a PC storage box.) An effect can’t cause poison, burn, paralysis, freezing, or sleep against a Pokémon if it already has one of these five conditions or if it has fainted.

Burn (BRN)

If a Pokémon is burned, the damage from physical attacks it uses is halved, and it loses 1/8 of its maximum HP, rounded down (but not less than 1 HP), at the end of each turn. Fire types can’t become burned.

Poison (PSN)

If a Pokémon is poisoned, it loses 1/8 of its maximum HP, rounded down (but not less than 1 HP), at the end of each turn. Poison and Steel types can’t become poisoned. Poison has no effect outside of battle, unlike in games before Pokémon Black Version and Pokémon White Version.

Being badly poisoned differs from normal poisoning in the HP loss method during battle. When a Pokémon becomes badly poisoned or a badly poisoned Pokémon enters the battle, a variable, T, is set to 0 for that Pokémon. At the end of each turn, if the Pokémon is badly poisoned, T rises by 1 (up to a maximum of 15) and the Pokémon loses its maximum HP, divided by 16 and multiplied by T, but not less than 1 HP. (This HP loss happens instead of the HP loss for regular poisoning.) A badly poisoned Pokémon will remain badly poisoned if it leaves the battle and then enters the battle again in the same battle; however, it will become normally poisoned after the battle ends.

Unless otherwise noted, poison includes being normally poisoned and badly poisoned.

Paralysis (PAR)

If a Pokémon is paralyzed, its Speed is multiplied by 1/4 (see Priority ) and there is a 1/4 chance that it will be unable to attack during its attack segment. Ground types can’t become paralyzed by Electric type attacks.

Sleep (SLP)

When a Pokémon falls asleep or when a sleeping Pokémon enters the battle for the first time in a battle, it receives a sleep count of 2 to 4. At the beginning of the Pokémon’s attack segment, its sleep count is reduced by 1, and then it wakes up if the sleep count is 0 or less. A sleeping Pokémon’s sleep count will be reset to the determined sleep count if it leaves the battle and then enters the battle again in the same battle; however, the sleep count is lost after the battle ends, but the Pokémon will remain asleep.

Frozen (FRZ)

If a Pokémon is frozen, it can’t attack during its attack segment. Ice types can’t become frozen. At the beginning of the Pokémon’s attack segment, it will thaw out at a 20% chance. If the Pokémon is damaged by a Fire-type attack against that Pokémon by another Pokémon, it thaws out.

Confusion

When a Pokémon becomes confused, it receives a count of 2 to 5. At the beginning of the Pokémon’s attack segment, this count is reduced by 1, then if it is greater than 0, there is a 50% chance that the Pokémon will deal damage to itself rather than use an attack. The self-inflicted confusion attack is a physical attack, has a power of 40, has no type , can’t be a critical hit, and ignores the effects of Helping Hand, Huge Power, Hustle, Pure Power, and Reflect. Confusion is removed from the Pokémon when it leaves the battle (except Baton Pass).

Flinch

After a Pokémon uses a move that makes the target flinch in the same turn, the target can flinch when the beginning of its attack segment comes and thus skip its attack this turn. Effects that cause a Pokémon to flinch set a flag on that Pokémon. If the flag is set as the Pokémon begins its attack segment, it will flinch. This flag is cleared at the beginning of a Pokémon’s attack segment and at the end of each turn.

Pokémon Black Version and Pokémon White Version - Weather

The weather moves can be used at any time, even during weather. A weather move fails if the weather condition associated with that move is already in effect. For example, Rain Dance fails while the weather is rainy.

The effects of Hail, Rain Dance, Sandstorm, and Sunny Day, are weather effects. (Fog appears not to exist.) The effects of Gravity and Trick Room are not weather effects.

There can be only one weather condition at a time. If another weather condition comes in effect, the previous condition is canceled.

In some battles, a particular weather condition already comes in effect before the first turn of the battle. This condition lasts indefinitely. If a Pokémon has an Ability that makes the weather change to a different condition, it then takes effect.

Pokémon Black Version and Pokémon White Version - Stacking Effects

Generally, moves with the same effect code don’t stack with each other. For example, the moves Block, Mean Look, and Spider Web share the same effect. Once any of these moves is used, they will fail against the same target until the effect is removed. Multi-turn attacks such as Wrap and Whirlpool also share the same effect for a given target and don’t stack with the use of different kinds of multi-turn attacks.

Effects of the same move also don’t stack with each other unless noted otherwise. For example, Aqua Ring can’t be used multiple times on the same Pokémon. However, Stockpile and Spikes can be used multiple times for a bigger effect. (Spikes says "Can be used up to three times", and Stockpile raises the user’s Stockpile count up to a maximum of 3.)

Pokémon Black Version and Pokémon White Version - Failure

An attack "fails" if it does none of its effect when used, unless noted otherwise, except if the attack description states that the attack "does nothing" as its effect.

An attack that changes stat stages without necessarily lowering or raising them, such as Psych Up and Haze, won’t fail if the change results in the same stat stages as before, unless noted otherwise.

An attack that can’t be used because it has no target is considered to "fail", but not considered to be "prevented from being used".

Pokémon Black Version and Pokémon White Version - Two-turn attacks

In a two-turn attack, the user prepares for the attack on the first attack segment, and hits target on the second attack segment. The user can’t take any action until the user finishes using a two-turn attack. If the user can’t use a two-turn attack because it has no target, or if the user is prevented from using the attack, the effect ends. PP is deducted on the first attack segment of the two-turn attack.

Two-turn attacks work by checking the last move called by the user. If that move is a two-turn attack, the "second attack segment" of the attack is done. Otherwise, the "first attack segment" of the attack is done. This behavior covers the case of Metronome using a two-turn attack on the first attack segment, then Metronome using the same or a different two-turn attack on the next turn. (The second use of Metronome in this situation is normally only possible if Encore comes in effect for the user after the first use of Metronome.)

A two-turn attack is not a multi-turn attack, and vice versa.

A two-turn attack remains a two-turn attack even if the attack would not take two turns.

For all two-turn attacks, on the first attack segment of the attack’s use, no accuracy check is done, no check is made to determine whether the attack will be ineffective against the target or otherwise be avoided by the target. However, for Sky Drop, the target can still use Protect or Detect to protect itself from the attack on the first attack segment of its use.

{For the two-turn attacks Bounce, Dig, Dive, Fly, Shadow Force, and Sky Drop, the user will avoid all attacks other than the exceptions given in the attack descriptions, even those that "can’t be evaded" or that have an accuracy value of "101" (meaning that no accuracy check is done), while the user is using any one of these two-turn attacks, unless noted otherwise. The user will avoid even Acupressure} and the returned attack from Future Sight and Doom Desire {this way, since it targets the user of the two-turn attack like any other attack. However, Helping Hand and Memento (but not Sketch or Psych Up) will work normally against it.}

Pokémon Black Version and Pokémon White Version - Multi-hit attacks

The multi-hit attacks are labeled "Multi-hit attack" and "Attacks twice in a row" in the attack descriptions, as well as Triple Kick and Beat Up. {For all multi-hit attacks except Triple Kick, an accuracy check is done only once, namely, before the attack hits target multiple times. If the attack is ineffective against the target, no hits of the attack are done.}

If the user is asleep when it would do a second or further hit of a multi-hit attack, the attack stops unless the multi-hit attack was used with Sleep Talk.

{When the target of a multi-hit attack faints, the attack stops.}

Unless noted otherwise, each hit of a multi-hit attack is treated as a separate attack.

Pokémon Black Version and Pokémon White Version - Moves that use other moves

The moves Assist, Copycat, Me First, Metronome, Mirror Move, Nature Power, and Sleep Talk can use other moves.

If one of these moves tries to use a move that can’t be used because of Heal Block or Gravity, the move will fail to be used (but won’t be considered as "prevented from being used").

Pokémon Black Version and Pokémon White Version - Notes for Specific Moves

Substitute

Substitute creates a copy of the user called a "substitute"; to make a substitute, the user loses 1/4 of its maximum HP, but not less than 1 HP. This attack fails if the HP reduced would faint the user or if the user already has a substitute. The substitute has life points equal to the HP lost this way. (The term "life points" is used here to differentiate it from HP, to avoid confusion when describing Substitute’s effect.)

If an effect (such as a move, item, or Ability) is absent in this description, it is assumed to work as normal both with and without Substitute’s effect.

These are the main effects that happen while the user has a substitute:

  • Attacks by other Pokémon can’t cause poison, burn, paralysis, freezing, sleep, confusion, or flinching against the user. (Effects of attacks such as Yawn can still do so. If an item or an Ability causes one of these effects, the description will say whether Substitute prevents it.) Additional effects of attacks by other Pokémon can’t inflict such effects if the user had a substitute as the attack began (each hit of a multi-hit attack is treated as a separate attack).
  • Abilities from Pokémon other than the user and additional effects of attacks by those Pokémon can’t change the user’s stat stages if they would normally reduce them and if the user had a substitute as the attack began (each hit of a multi-hit attack is treated as a separate attack).
  • Non-damaging attacks by Pokémon in battle other than the user and without flag "p" in the list of moves will fail against the user. (Except as noted below, the user can use such attacks normally.)
  • If the user would be hit by a damaging attack by another Pokémon, instead the user’s substitute loses life points equal to the HP the user would have lost because of that attack. (Except as noted below, however, this doesn’t change whether attacks are successful or not.)

Note that the last effect listed above is a replacement effect. If damage is intercepted to the substitute, Counter, Mirror Coat, Metal Burst, [Bide, and Rage] are not affected by it.

When the substitute has no life points left, it fades and Substitute’s effect ends.

Any other effects that affect the user’s HP do not involve the substitute in any way. This applies to reductions of the user’s HP from poison, Leech Seed, Sandstorm, recoil, and so on; and to effects that recover the user’s HP. Moreover, effects that need to know the user’s HP (Super Fang, Reversal, Flail, False Swipe, Eruption, and so on) won’t use the substitute’s life points in place of the user’s HP. (This is why "life points" is used instead of HP to describe the substitute’s vitality.)

The substitute will be removed, and Substitute’s effect will end, when the user leaves the battle (except Baton Pass) or if the user faints before the substitute fades. If the user uses Baton Pass, the substitute retains its current life points.

Other notes regarding Substitute are given below.

  • While the user has a substitute, attacks can deal damage equal to or greater than the user’s HP even if an effect prevents it from fainting (False Swipe, Endure, Focus Band, Focus Sash, Sturdy).
  • If the user uses Baton Pass, the effect of Toxic Spikes can still poison the new Pokémon as normal, and a Poison-type Pokémon will still end the effect of Toxic Spikes as normal.
  • The game checks whether a substitute fades after every hit of a multi-hit attack. The multi-hit attack will continue even after the substitute fades.
  • Damage from the user’s confusion is given to the user.
  • Attacks that hit the user’s substitute, if used by other Pokémon, can’t remove the user’s item. (This includes Bug Bite, Incinerate, Knock Off, and Pluck, but doesn’t include Pickpocket. The user can use Bestow normally, Switcheroo, and Trick, and Item Drop can still be used on it.)
  • The attack from Future Sight and Doom Desire is passed to the substitute instead of the user.
  • Pay Day won’t cause the attacker to gain money from the attack if it hits the user’s substitute.
  • If the user had a substitute when these attacks were successful, Smack Down will fail to end the user’s Fly and Bounce attack or do the rest of its effect beyond damage; Clear Smog will fail to reset the user’s stat stages; and Circle Throw and Dragon Tail will fail to replace the user with another Pokémon.
  • While user has a substitute, the use of SmellingSalt against the user by other Pokémon doesn’t increase in power if the user is paralyzed, and won’t heal the user’s paralysis if the attack is successful.
  • While user has a substitute, the use of Wake-Up Slap against the user by other Pokémon doesn’t increase in power if the user is asleep, and won’t make the user wake up if the attack is successful.
  • The item thrown with Fling doesn’t take effect if it hits the user.
  • If the user has a substitute when another Pokémon begins to use a multi-turn attack against the user, the secondary effect of that attack won’t occur. The effect of multi-turn attacks against the user will end when the user creates a substitute.
  • When a target uses Absorb, Mega Drain, Leech Life, Giga Drain, Drain Punch, Horn Leech, Dream Eater, or a recoil attack against the user, it loses or gains HP according to the number of life points lost by the substitute. (For example, if the target uses Absorb on the user and the substitute loses 10 life points, the target gains 5 HP.)
  • Sky Drop will fail against the user even on the first attack segment of its use.
  • If Defog is used against the user, the user’s evasiveness won’t be changed but effects such as Spikes, Reflect, and so on will still be removed from the user’s side.
  • If another Pokémon uses Acupressure against the user, the attack will fail. (The user can use Acupressure normally against itself.)
  • The substitute will absorb damage from Pursuit if the user attempts to switch.

Iron Ball

For some items, Fling has other effects, listed below. They are considered additional effects by Shield Dust, but not Sheer Force. The effect occurs even if Embargo is in effect for the target and even if the target has Klutz.

  • Light Ball - Paralyzes the target
  • Flame Orb - Burns the target
  • Poison Barb - Poisons the target
  • Toxic Orb - Badly poisons the target
  • King’s Rock - The target flinches if this attack strikes first
  • Razor Fang - The target flinches if this attack strikes first

If the item thrown is a White Herb, a Mental Herb, or a Berry that triggers when its holder has a certain amount of HP or PP, or is poisoned, burned, paralyzed, frozen, asleep, or confused (but not Custap Berry or Berry Juice), the target uses that item even if Embargo is in effect for the target, the target has Klutz, or the item’s trigger condition doesn’t hold. This is considered an additional effect by Shield Dust, but not Sheer Force.

Chatter

Each Pokémon in the player’s party can have a recorded sound that is 1000 bytes long. The sound’s format is 4-bit PCM, where two samples are stored in a single byte (where the first sample is in the low 4 bits, the second sample in the high 4 bits). When the game records a Pokémon’s sound, it collects 8,000 8-bit samples of microphone input with a frequency of about 8,000 samples per second, and converts each fourth sample (starting with the first) into a 4-bit sample as follows:

-128 → 0; -127 to -112 → 1; -111 to -96 → 2; -95 to -80 → 3; -79 to -64 → 4; -63 to -48 → 5; -47 to -32 → 6; -31 to -16 → 7; -15 to 15 → 8; 16 to 31 → 9; 32 to 47 → 10; 48 to 63 → 11; 64 to 79 → 12; 80 to 95 → 13; 96 to 111 → 14; 112 to 127 → 15.

The game sets a variable, X, to the "exclusive or" combination of three bytes: the 100th, 500th, and 700th byte (counting from 0) of the recorded sound. If the user is a Chatot and hasn’t transformed, Chatter has a certain chance of confusing the target as follows:

  • If X is less than 150, the confusion chance is 10%.
  • If X is greater than or equal to 100 and less than 150, or if Chatot’s cry is the default one, the confusion chance is 0%.
  • If X is greater than or equal to 150, the confusion chance is 10%.

The confusion effect is considered an additional effect by Serene Grace, the Pledges, Sheer Force, and Shield Dust.

Sky Drop

Because of a bug, if Gravity starts its effect before the user finishes using Sky Drop, the part of Sky Drop’s effect providing that "effects of moves and items can’t cause the target to be replaced with a different Pokémon not in battle; the target can’t take any action not located within the Fight command; and the target skips its attack segment (the target won’t shift during its attack segment if that command was chosen)" doesn’t end until the user or the target leaves the battle; and the part of its effect providing that "effects of moves and items can’t cause user to be replaced with a different Pokémon not in battle" doesn’t end until the user leaves the battle; and the target can’t use Pursuit as a Pokémon is about to switch until the target leaves the battle.

Other than the effects given above, after Gravity starts its effect, the user is not considered to be "using" Sky Drop and the target is not considered to be "under the effect of" Sky Drop.

At the end of the last turn, if there is a Pokémon at the position the target had when the effect began and if the user isn’t that Pokémon, deals damage from the user to that Pokémon. If the user isn’t in battle or is rotated out as the damage is dealt this way, the damage is calculated and its accuracy is determined according to the user’s level, type, and Special Attack stat (before it left the battle, except Transform and Imposter still revert the type and stats to their originals), and as though the user had no item or Ability (without applying the accuracy stat stage, other stat stages of the user, or other effects that modify Special Attack). Accuracy check is performed only when attack is returned. Remains in effect even if user or the target isn’t in battle or is rotated out (except if the battle ends). (Effect is not suspended if user or the target is rotated out.) During effect, this attack fails against the Pokémon at that position. Returned attack is considered an attack by the user even if the user leaves the battle or is rotated out. (If more than one Pokémon uses this attack in the same turn, each of those hits will occur when the attacks are returned in the order in which their effects began, but the game is decided after each hit.)

Pokémon Black Version and Pokémon White Version - Abilities



This list describes each Ability in Pokémon Black Version and Pokémon White Version and their effects.

Adaptability

If an attack by this Pokémon shares a type with one of this Pokémon’s types, that attack’s damage is doubled instead of multiplied by 1.5.

Aftermath

If a direct attack by another Pokémon causes this Pokémon to faint, that other Pokémon loses 1/4 of its maximum HP (but not less than 1 HP) unless a Pokémon in battle that isn’t rotated out has Damp (not considered recoil).

Air Lock

No effects from the weather are applied. (The weather effects are still displayed and can still end as normal.)

Analytic

Power of attacks by this Pokémon, other than Future Sight and Doom Desire, is multiplied by 5325/4096 if this Pokémon strikes last this turn.

Anger Point

Whenever this Pokémon is damaged by an attack that’s a critical hit, this Pokémon’s Attack rises by 12 stages.

Anticipation

When this Pokémon enters the battle and whenever it adopts this Ability after it had another Ability, a message is displayed if any opposing Pokémon has a one-hit KO move or has a damaging move whose original type is "super effective" against this Pokémon’s types (without applying effects that change type matchups against this Pokémon).

Arena Trap

An adjacent opposing Pokémon can’t switch out or run unless it has Levitate or it’s a Flying type. If this Pokémon is the first Pokémon that is in the player’s party and the first in the party isn’t an Egg, doubles the rate of wild Pokémon battles.

Bad Dreams

At the end of each turn, each sleeping adjacent opposing Pokémon loses 1/8 of its maximum HP (but not less than 1 HP). (This effect is cumulative.)

Battle Armor

Attacks can’t be critical hits against this Pokémon.

Big Pecks

Attacks by other Pokémon can’t lower this Pokémon’s Defense stat stage.

Blaze

If this Pokémon has 1/3 of its maximum HP, rounded down, or less, Attack and Special Attack for Fire-type attacks by this Pokémon is multiplied by 1.5.

Chlorophyll

During Sunny Day, this Pokémon’s Speed is doubled.

Clear Body

{Attacks and Abilities by other Pokémon can’t lower this Pokémon’s stat stages.} (Effects that merely change stat stages without necessarily lowering them, such as Haze, are not affected.)

Cloud Nine

No effects from the weather are applied. (The weather effects are still displayed and can still end as normal.)

Color Change

At the end of all hits of a damaging attack by another Pokémon, if this Pokémon was damaged by that attack and if this Pokémon doesn’t share a type with that attack’s type, this Pokémon’s types change to that attack’s type. (Prevented by Sheer Force if the attack has an additional effect.)

Compoundeyes

Accuracy of attacks by this Pokémon is multiplied by 130/100. If this Pokémon is the first Pokémon that is in the player’s party and the first in the party isn’t an Egg, the rate of encountering wild Pokémon with common items is 60%, with rare items 20%, and with very rare items 5%.

Contrary

Effects that would raise this Pokémon’s stat stages lower them by the same amount instead, and vice versa. (Effects that merely copy or reset stat stages are not affected.)

Cursed Body

Whenever another Pokémon damages this Pokémon with an attack, the effect of Disable begins against that other Pokémon, at a 30% chance, with the affected move set to the move that other Pokémon chose for use this turn, unless Disable is in effect against that other Pokémon (not considered an additional effect; doesn’t stop any multi-hit attack in progress; doesn’t apply to Future Sight and Doom Desire).

Cute Charm

{Whenever this Pokémon is damaged by a direct attack by another Pokémon, that other Pokémon becomes infatuated (at a 30% chance) if its gender is different from this Pokémon and neither is gender-unknown (not considered an additional effect). } [If this Pokémon is the first Pokémon that is in the player’s party and the first in the party isn’t an Egg, the chance of encountering Pokémon with the same gender as this Pokémon is 2/3.]

Damp

Selfdestruct and Explosion will fail for all Pokémon in battle (doesn’t cause fainting).

Defeatist

As long as this Pokémon has half its maximum HP or less, this Pokémon’s Attack and Special Attack are halved.

Defiant

Whenever an attack by an opposing Pokémon or an Ability reduces a stat stage of this Pokémon, this Pokémon’s Attack rises by 2 stages. (Triggers once for each different stat stage reduced. Effect happens immediately.)

Download

When this Pokémon enters the battle and whenever it adopts this Ability after it had another Ability, if an opposing Pokémon that isn’t rotated out exists, this Pokémon’s Attack rises by 1 stage if the total current Defense among all opposing Pokémon that exist and aren’t rotated out is less than the total current Special Defense among those Pokémon, or this Pokémon’s Special Attack rises by 1 stage if the total Defense is greater or equal. (For this check, each stat is calculated by multiplying the Defense stat or Special Defense stat by the multiplier for the respective stat stage, ignoring Unaware and Wonder Room.)

Drizzle

When this Pokémon enters the battle and whenever it adopts this Ability after it had another Ability, the effect of Rain Dance begins and continues indefinitely, even if already in effect, unless the effect is already indefinite.

Drought

When this Pokémon enters the battle and whenever it adopts this Ability after it had another Ability, the effect of Sunny Day begins and continues indefinitely, even if already in effect, unless the effect is already indefinite.

Dry Skin

At the end of each turn, if Rain Dance is in effect, this Pokémon gains 1/8 of its maximum HP (but not less than 1 HP). At the end of each turn, if Sunny Day is in effect, this Pokémon loses 1/8 of its maximum HP (but not less than 1 HP). Power of Fire-type attacks against this Pokémon is multiplied by 5/4. Whenever a Water-type attack (even a non-damaging one) by another Pokémon targets this Pokémon, and the attack is not otherwise ineffective against this Pokémon, this Pokémon gains 1/4 of its maximum HP (but not less than 1 HP) and the attack is ineffective against this Pokémon. (Applied after effects that change targets, but before accuracy check and damage calculation.)

Early Bird

The sleep count is reduced by 2 instead of 1 in this Pokémon’s sleep checks.

Effect Spore

Whenever this Pokémon is damaged by a direct attack by another Pokémon, that other Pokémon becomes poisoned, becomes paralyzed, or sleeps, at a combined 30% chance (not considered an additional effect, prevented by Safeguard but not Substitute).

Filter

Damage from attacks whose types are "super effective" against this Pokémon’s types, if they are used by other Pokémon against this Pokémon, is multiplied by 3/4.

Flame Body

{Whenever this Pokémon is damaged by a direct attack by another Pokémon, that other Pokémon becomes burned at a 30% chance (not considered an additional effect, Safeguard and Substitute don’t affect this). If this Pokémon is anywhere in the player’s party, every 256 steps lowers the "Egg counter" of each Egg by 2 instead of 1. (This effect is not cumulative with multiple instances of Magma Armor, this Ability, or both.) }

Flare Boost

As long as this Pokémon is burned, the power of special attacks by this Pokémon against other Pokémon is multiplied by 1.5.

Flash Fire

Whenever a Fire-type attack by another Pokémon targets this Pokémon (even non-damaging ones, even if this Pokémon is frozen, and even if the attack is otherwise ineffective against it), that attack is ineffective against this Pokémon, and Attack and Special Attack for Fire-type attacks by this Pokémon is multiplied by 1.5 (effect is not cumulative) until this Pokémon leaves the battle or this Pokémon doesn’t have this Ability. (Applied after effects that change targets, but before accuracy check and damage calculation.)

Flower Gift

Anytime Abilities resolve, if Sunny Day is in effect and this Pokémon is a Cherrim and hasn’t transformed, this Pokémon assumes the Sunshine Form (until it has transformed) and this Pokémon reverts to Overcast Form when this Pokémon leaves the battle, Sunny Day is not in effect, or this Pokémon doesn’t have this Ability. During Sunny Day, if this Pokémon is a Cherrim and hasn’t transformed, Attack and Special Defense of this Pokémon and its allies are multiplied by 1.5. (This effect is cumulative.)

Forecast

Anytime Abilities resolve, if this Pokémon is a Castform and hasn’t transformed, this Pokémon assumes the Sunny Form during Sunny Day, the Rainy Form during Rain Dance, the Snowy Form during Hail, and the Normal Form otherwise (until this Pokémon has transformed), and this Pokémon reverts to the Normal Form when this Pokémon leaves the battle or doesn’t have this Ability. (If it changes to a different form this way, its stats are recalculated and its types change to Fire, Water, Ice, or Normal, respectively, to conform to that form, except if it has transformed.)

Forewarn

When this Pokémon enters the battle and whenever it adopts this Ability after it had another Ability, a message displays the name of a random move with the highest power among all moves known by all opposing Pokémon. (For this Ability, status moves, including Me First, have a power of 1; one-hit KO moves have a power of 150; Counter, Metal Burst, and Mirror Coat have a power of 120; and other moves with a power of 1 have a power of 80. Effects that vary an attack’s power are not applied here. Moves known by more than one opposing Pokémon are counted separately.)

Friend Guard

Damage from attacks against allies of this Pokémon (except confusion damage) is multiplied by 3/4. (This effect is cumulative.)

Frisk

When this Pokémon enters the battle and whenever it adopts this Ability after it had another Ability, { a message displays the name of one of the items actually held by an opposing Pokémon chosen at random, if any opposing Pokémon is actually holding an item. }

Gluttony

This Pokémon uses certain Berries when this Pokémon’s HP is less than or equal to half instead of 1/4 of its maximum HP.

Guts

This Pokémon’s Attack is multiplied by 1.5 if this Pokémon is poisoned, burned, paralyzed, frozen, or asleep. Damage from attacks by this Pokémon is not reduced because of burns.

Harvest

At the end of each turn, if Sunny Day is in effect or else at a 50% chance, and if this Pokémon actually isn’t holding an item and the last item consumed by this Pokémon is a Berry, this Pokémon receives the last item consumed by this Pokémon and that item is reset.

Healer

At the end of each turn, each of this Pokémon’s adjacent allies stops being poisoned, burned, paralyzed, frozen, and asleep at a 30% chance each. (This effect applies separately if more than one Pokémon on the same side has this Ability.)

Heatproof

Power of Fire-type attacks against this Pokémon is halved, and this Pokémon loses 1/16 instead of 1/8 of its maximum HP (but not less than 1 HP) because of burns.

Heavy Metal

This Pokémon’s weight is doubled.

Honey Gather

If this Pokémon appears anywhere in party and actually isn’t holding an item, this Pokémon has an X% chance of picking up Honey after a battle in which Exp. Points can be gained ends if the player won the battle, where X equals ((((this Pokémon’s level)-1)/10)+1)*5.

Huge Power

This Pokémon’s Attack is doubled.

Hustle

This Pokémon’s Attack is multiplied by 1.5. Accuracy of physical attacks by this Pokémon is multiplied by 4/5. If this Pokémon is the first Pokémon that is in the player’s party and the first in the party isn’t an Egg, the chance of encountering high-level Pokémon is 50%. (See "Encounters" in the notes.)

Hydration

At the end of each turn, if Rain Dance is in effect, this Pokémon stops being poisoned, burned, paralyzed, frozen, and asleep. (No effect if Rain Dance’s effect just ended.)

Hyper Cutter

{Attacks and Abilities by other Pokémon can’t lower this Pokémon’s Attack stat stage. }

Ice Body

At the end of each turn, if Hail is in effect, this Pokémon gains 1/16 of its maximum HP (but not less than 1 HP) and doesn’t lose HP because of the Hail effect.

Illuminate

If this Pokémon is the first Pokémon that is in the player’s party and the first in the party isn’t an Egg, doubles the rate of wild Pokémon battles.

Illusion

As this Pokémon enters the battle, this Pokémon’s appearance becomes that of the last listed unfainted non-Egg Pokémon with the same controller as this Pokémon (unless it’s itself that Pokémon or that Pokémon is a Pokémon in battle) until another Pokémon damages this Pokémon with an attack or this Pokémon doesn’t have this Ability. (This Pokémon is not considered to have transformed.)

Detailed Information

This Pokémon has all attributes necessary to make it appear as though it were the last listed unfainted non-Egg Pokémon with the same controller as this Pokémon (just before this Pokémon entered the battle) (the "last listed Pokémon"). It will have the same appearance according to the last listed Pokémon’s gender, species, and form, and according to whether the last listed Pokémon is Shiny, and its info box will show the last listed Pokémon’s Poké Ball, gender, and nickname, but its level, type, stats, moves, and Ability remain unchanged, and effects still use its real gender, individual values, species, form, weight, friendship, and nature.

Immunity

This Pokémon can’t be poisoned.

Imposter

When this Pokémon enters the battle, its Attack, Defense, Special Attack, Special Defense, and Speed stats; types; moves; weight; gender; and stat stages become those of the Pokémon it’s facing, and the Ability this Pokémon actually has becomes the Ability that Pokémon actually has, unless there is no such Pokémon, that Pokémon has transformed, or that Pokémon is under the effect of Illusion. Moves copied this way have 5 PP and a maximum PP of no more than 5. (This Pokémon is considered to have transformed. No effect if activated with Ability Urge.)

Infiltrator

Attacks by this Pokémon ignore the effects of Light Screen, Mist, Reflect, and Safeguard on the opposing Pokémon’s side. (Attacks can still end those effects.)

Inner Focus

Effects can’t cause this Pokémon to flinch. (Triggers only after an attack that causes flinching is used, and not at the beginning of this Pokémon’s attack segment.)

Insomnia

This Pokémon can’t fall asleep.

Intimidate

When this Pokémon enters the battle and whenever it adopts this Ability after it had another Ability, adjacent opposing Pokémon’s Attack falls by 1 stage. If this Pokémon is the first Pokémon that is in the player’s party and the first in the party isn’t an Egg, the chance of encountering Pokémon whose level is equal to or less than this Pokémon’s level minus 5 is 50%. (See "Encounters" in the notes.)

Iron Barbs

Whenever this Pokémon is damaged by a direct attack by another Pokémon, that other Pokémon loses 1/8 of its maximum HP (but not less than 1 HP) (not considered recoil).

Keen Eye

Attacks and Abilities by other Pokémon can’t lower this Pokémon’s accuracy stat stage. If this Pokémon is the first Pokémon that is in the player’s party and the first in the party isn’t an Egg, the chance of encountering Pokémon whose level is equal to or less than this Pokémon’s level minus 5 is 50%. (See "Encounters" in the notes.)

Klutz

Effects from this Pokémon’s held item are not applied. (No effect outside of battle.)

Leaf Guard

During Sunny Day, effects can’t cause poison, burn, paralysis, freezing, or sleep against this Pokémon. (This includes Rest. Yawn will fail against this Pokémon.)

Levitate

This Pokémon is immune to damaging Ground-type attacks.

Light Metal

This Pokémon’s weight is halved.

Lightningrod

Electric-type attacks (even non-damaging ones) by other Pokémon with a range of "single Pokémon except user" that could target this Pokémon are directed to this Pokémon instead of to any other Pokémon that could be a target of that attack (other than its user). (Applied after Follow Me, but before Magic Coat. If more than one potential target of the attack has this Ability, the attack is directed to the target (of that kind) with the highest Speed stat, or if there is a tie, to a random tied Pokémon.) Whenever an Electric-type attack (even a non-damaging one) by another Pokémon targets this Pokémon, and the attack is not otherwise ineffective against this Pokémon, this Pokémon’s Special Attack rises by 1 stage and that attack is ineffective against this Pokémon. (Applied after effects that change targets, but before accuracy check and damage calculation. An Electric-type Thunder Wave is ineffective against Ground-type targets in normal cases.)

Limber

This Pokémon can’t be paralyzed.

Liquid Ooze

If Absorb, Drain Punch, Giga Drain, Leech Life, Mega Drain, Dream Eater, Horn Leech, or the effect of Leech Seed, when it drains HP from this Pokémon, would cause another Pokémon to gain HP (before adjusting for maximum HP), that other Pokémon loses that much HP instead.

Magic Bounce

Whenever this Pokémon is the target of an attack with flag "c" by another Pokémon and that other Pokémon is the original user of that attack (even if the attack is used by another move), instead this Pokémon uses that attack against that other Pokémon. (Applies to each target separately. Magic Coat takes precedence over this Ability. If the attack has more than one target, targets that are under the effect of Magic Coat, that have this Ability, or both, use that attack after the effects of other targets have resolved, in the same relative order. If that attack has a range of "all opposing Pokémon", this Pokémon uses that attack against each Pokémon it could target. If that attack has a range of "opposing Pokémon’s side", this effect applies only if this Pokémon isn’t rotated out and is the Pokémon closest to the left of its side among Pokémon in battle on its side that are under the effect of Magic Coat, that have this Ability, or both.)

Magic Guard

Effects other than damage can’t lower this Pokémon’s HP, with these exceptions: Pain Split, Belly Drum, effects that make this Pokémon "faint", Curse when used, Substitute when used, confusion damage, Future Sight and Doom Desire, and HP loss from Struggle. (Liquid Ooze will cause neither HP loss nor HP gain.)

Magma Armor

This Pokémon can’t be frozen. If this Pokémon is anywhere in the player’s party, every 255 steps lowers the "Egg counter" of each Egg by 2 instead of 1. (This effect is not cumulative with multiple instances of Flame Body, this Ability, or both.)

Magnet Pull

An adjacent opposing Pokémon can’t switch out or run if it’s a Steel type. If this Pokémon is the first Pokémon that is in the player’s party and the first in the party isn’t an Egg, the chance of encountering a Steel-type Pokémon, if possible, [is 50%. (See "Encounters" in the notes.)]

Marvel Scale

This Pokémon’s Defense is multiplied by 1.5 if it’s poisoned, burned, paralyzed, frozen, or asleep.

Minus

If at least one of this Pokémon’s allies has this Ability or the Plus Ability, Special Attack of this Pokémon is multiplied by 1.5.

Mold Breaker

While this Pokémon is using an attack, effects from certain Abilities by other Pokémon are not applied. (See notes below.) (When this Pokémon enters the battle and whenever it adopts this Ability after it had another Ability, a message reveals this Ability on this Pokémon.)

Detailed Information

The list of Abilities prevented by Mold Breaker is: Battle Armor, Big Pecks, Clear Body, Contrary, Damp (both the Selfdestruct/Explosion effect and the Aftermath effect), Dry Skin (both the boosted power and absorbing Water attacks), Filter, Flash Fire, Flower Gift (both the Attack and Special Defense boosts), Friend Guard, Heatproof, Heavy Metal, Hyper Cutter, Immunity, Inner Focus, Insomnia, Keen Eye, Leaf Guard, Levitate, Light Metal, Lightningrod, Limber, Magic Bounce, Magma Armor, Marvel Scale, Motor Drive, Multiscale, Oblivious (including when Oblivious prevents Captivate from working), Own Tempo, Sand Veil, Sap Sipper, Shell Armor, Shield Dust, Simple, Snow Cloak, Solid Rock, Soundproof, Sticky Hold, Storm Drain, Sturdy, Suction Cups, Tangled Feet, Telepathy, Thick Fat, Unaware (even if this Pokémon’s stat stages are less than 0), Vital Spirit, Volt Absorb, Water Absorb, Water Veil, White Smoke, Wonder Guard, and Wonder Skin. Moreover, Mold Breaker doesn’t affect the returned attack from Future Sight and Doom Desire. For two-turn attacks, only the first and second attack segment of the attack are affected, not the entire effect (to avoid confusion with the term "using a two-turn attack"). This Ability also prevents Abilities that contain the words "This Pokémon can’t...", such as Limber, from removing the respective condition from Pokémon with these Abilities during the attack (including its additional effect), although the Abilities that contain such words can still remove it after all effects of the attack resolve.

Moody

At the end of each turn, a random stat stage (of this Pokémon) that can be raised rises by 2 stages, and a different random stat stage (of this Pokémon) that can be lowered falls by 1 stage.

Motor Drive

Whenever an Electric-type attack (even a non-damaging one) by another Pokémon targets this Pokémon, and the attack is not otherwise ineffective against this Pokémon, this Pokémon’s Speed rises by 1 stage and that attack is ineffective against this Pokémon. (Applied after effects that change targets, but before accuracy check and damage calculation.) [An Electric-type Thunder Wave is ineffective against Ground-type targets in normal cases.] }

Moxie

Whenever an attack by this Pokémon against another Pokémon causes that other Pokémon to faint, this Pokémon’s Attack rises by 1 stage. (Mummy takes precedence over this Ability.)

Multiscale

If this Pokémon’s HP is full, the damage from attacks by other Pokémon against this Pokémon is halved. (Treats each hit of a multi-hit attack as a separate attack.)

Multitype

As this Pokémon enters the battle, if this Pokémon is an Arceus, its type becomes a type that depends on the Plate held if this Pokémon is actually holding a Plate, or Normal otherwise.

Mummy

Whenever this Pokémon is damaged by a direct attack by another Pokémon, that other Pokémon’s Ability becomes this Ability, unless that other Pokémon actually has Multitype or this Ability.

Natural Cure

As this Pokémon leaves the battle (but not if it enters the battle), this Pokémon stops being poisoned, burned, paralyzed, frozen, and asleep. (Checks this Pokémon’s current Ability. Doesn’t apply during battle if this Pokémon is under the effect of Gastro Acid.) If this Pokémon is anywhere in party, this Pokémon stops being poisoned, burned, paralyzed, frozen, and asleep after each battle.

No Guard

Attacks by and against this Pokémon are not avoided by their target because it is using or is under the effect of a two-turn attack, and they can’t be evaded. [Includes returned attack from Future Sight and Doom Desire.] (Includes one-hit KO attacks.) If this Pokémon is the first Pokémon that is in the player’s party and the first in the party isn’t an Egg, doubles the rate of wild Pokémon battles.

Normalize

Attacks by this Pokémon have the Normal type. (Applied before effects that vary an attack’s type. Doesn’t affect confusion damage or Struggle.)

Oblivious

This Pokémon can’t be infatuated.

Overcoat

This Pokémon doesn’t lose HP because of Sandstorm and Hail.

Overgrow

If this Pokémon has 1/3 of its maximum HP, rounded down, or less, Attack and Special Attack for Grass-type attacks by this Pokémon is multiplied by 1.5.

Own Tempo

This Pokémon can’t be confused.

Pickpocket

At the end of all hits of a direct attack by another Pokémon, if this Pokémon was damaged by that attack and this Pokémon has at least 1 HP, this Pokémon receives the item that other Pokémon is actually holding if this Pokémon actually isn’t holding any items and unless that other Pokémon is one of the player’s Pokémon in a wild Pokémon battle and this Pokémon isn’t. (Effect happens even if that other Pokémon has 0 HP or has a substitute. Prevented by Sheer Force if the attack has an additional effect.)

Pickup

At the end of each turn, if this Pokémon actually isn’t holding an item and there is at least one Pokémon that is currently adjacent to this Pokémon, that is not this Pokémon, that has a "last item consumed", and whose item was consumed this turn and since that Pokémon entered the battle, this Pokémon receives a copy of the "last item consumed" for one randomly chosen Pokémon of that kind and that item is reset. If this Pokémon appears anywhere in party and actually isn’t holding an item, this Pokémon picks up an item (at a 10% chance) after a battle in which Exp. Points can be gained ends and if the player won the battle.

Plus

If at least one of this Pokémon’s allies has this Ability or the Minus Ability, Special Attack of this Pokémon is multiplied by 1.5.

Poison Heal

If this Pokémon is poisoned, this Pokémon gains 1/8 of its maximum HP (but not less than 1 HP) at the end of each turn instead of losing HP because of poison.

Poison Point

Whenever this Pokémon is damaged by a direct attack by another Pokémon, that other Pokémon becomes poisoned at a 30% chance (not considered an additional effect; prevented by Safeguard but not Substitute).

Poison Touch

Whenever another Pokémon is damaged by a direct attack by this Pokémon, that other Pokémon becomes poisoned at a 30% chance (considered an additional effect by Shield Dust; prevented by Safeguard and Substitute). (Takes precedence over Mummy.)

Detailed Information

Probably, in the Japanese language version, Poison Touch can poison Pokémon in battle other than this Pokémon at a 20% chance instead of 30%.

Prankster

The priority level of this Pokémon’s status moves (including Me First) is treated as its priority level plus 1 while determining turn order.

Pressure

Whenever an attack by another Pokémon targets this Pokémon when it’s used, the PP of [the move that attack’s user chose for use this turn] is reduced by an additional 1, but not to less than 0. [ Attack won’t fail solely because the move’s PP can’t be reduced this way. This effect doesn’t apply to moves used by other moves, whether or not the attacker has the move used by such other move.] (If the move’s user changes, effect applies only to the move’s original user. Doesn’t apply to Bide or to the "non-"ghost" variant of Curse. Doesn’t trigger for hits of multi-hit attacks after the first. For the purposes of this Ability, Imprison, Snatch, Spikes, Stealth Rock, and Toxic Spikes target all opposing Pokémon.) (When this Pokémon enters the battle and whenever it adopts this Ability after it had another Ability, a message reveals this Ability on this Pokémon.) If this Pokémon is the first Pokémon that is in the player’s party and the first in the party isn’t an Egg, the chance of encountering high-level Pokémon is 50%. (See "Encounters" in the notes.)

Pure Power

This Pokémon’s Attack is doubled.

Quick Feet

As long as this Pokémon is poisoned, burned, paralyzed, frozen, or asleep, this Pokémon’s Speed is multiplied by 1.5. This Pokémon’s Speed is not reduced because of paralysis.

Reckless

Power of attacks by this Pokémon that cause recoil, as well as Jump Kick and Hi Jump Kick, is multiplied by 4915/4096. [Struggle is excluded.]

Regenerator

Rivalry

Power of attacks by this Pokémon against other Pokémon is multiplied by 5/4 if this Pokémon and the attack’s target are both male or both female, or multiplied by 3/4 if one is male and one is female.

Rock Head

This Pokémon doesn’t receive recoil. (Struggle’s HP loss is excluded.)

Rough Skin

Whenever this Pokémon is damaged by a direct attack by another Pokémon, that other Pokémon loses 1/8 of its maximum HP (but not less than 1 HP) (not considered recoil).

Run Away

{This Pokémon can always run from a wild Pokémon battle even if an effect prevents it from running. } (Sky Drop will still prevent running.)

Sand Force

During Sandstorm, the power of Ground-, Rock-, and Steel-type attacks by this Pokémon is multiplied by 5325/4096, and this Pokémon doesn’t lose HP because of the Sandstorm effect.

Sand Rush

During Sandstorm, this Pokémon’s Speed is doubled and this Pokémon doesn’t lose HP because of the Sandstorm effect.

Sand Stream

Sand Veil

During Sandstorm, accuracy of attacks against this Pokémon is multiplied by 8/10 and this Pokémon doesn’t lose HP because of the Sandstorm effect. If this Pokémon is the first Pokémon that is in the player’s party and the first in the party isn’t an Egg, halves the rate of wild Pokémon battles while sand is blowing.

Sap Sipper

Whenever a Grass-type attack (even a non-damaging one) by another Pokémon targets this Pokémon, this Pokémon’s Attack rises by 1 stage and that attack is ineffective against this Pokémon. (Applied after effects that change targets, but before accuracy check and damage calculation. Aromatherapy doesn’t target any Pokémon.)

Scrappy

Normal- and Fighting-type attacks by this Pokémon are normally effective against the Ghost type.

Serene Grace

Chance of additional effects from attacks by this Pokémon is doubled. (Secret Power is not affected.)

Shadow Tag

Attacks can’t be critical hits against this Pokémon.

Shield Dust

No additional effects of attacks by other Pokémon can occur against this Pokémon. (Additional effects that don’t affect this Pokémon are not prevented.)

Simple

Effects that raise or lower this Pokémon’s stat stages by a certain number of stages do so by twice that many stages instead.

Skill Link

Multi-hit attacks that "strike two to five times in a row", if used by this Pokémon, strike five times. Triple Kick doesn’t stop because its target avoids the second or later hit.

Slow Start

When this Pokémon enters the battle and whenever it adopts this Ability after it had another Ability, { this Pokémon’s Attack and Speed are halved for five turns, including this turn, or until this Pokémon leaves the battle [or is rotated out] or this Pokémon [doesn’t have] this Ability.}

Sniper

If an attack by this Pokémon is a critical hit, its damage is multiplied by 1.5.

Snow Cloak

During Hail, accuracy of attacks against this Pokémon is multiplied by 8/10 and this Pokémon doesn’t lose HP because of the Hail effect. If this Pokémon is the first Pokémon that is in the player’s party and the first in the party isn’t an Egg, halves the rate of wild Pokémon battles while snow is falling.

Snow Warning

When this Pokémon enters the battle and whenever it adopts this Ability after it had another Ability, the effect of Hail begins and continues indefinitely, even if already in effect, unless the effect is already indefinite.

Solar Power

During Sunny Day, this Pokémon’s Special Attack is multiplied by 1.5. At the end of each turn, if Sunny Day is in effect, this Pokémon loses 1/8 of its maximum HP (but not less than 1 HP).

Solid Rock

Damage from attacks whose types are "super effective" against this Pokémon’s types, if they are used by other Pokémon against this Pokémon, is multiplied by 3/4.

Soundproof

This Pokémon doesn’t receive the effects of sound-based attacks. (Uproar can still affect whether this Pokémon falls asleep or wakes up; this Pokémon doesn’t receive a perish count when Perish Song is used, but its perish count will still decline; doesn’t affect Heal Bell. Applied after accuracy check.)

Speed Boost

At the end of each turn, raises this Pokémon’s Speed by 1 stage unless this Pokémon entered the battle after the beginning of this turn.

Stall

{This Pokémon strikes after all other Pokémon whose moves have equal or greater priority than this Pokémon’s move. (See timing.) }

Static

Whenever this Pokémon is damaged by a direct attack by another Pokémon, that other Pokémon becomes paralyzed at a 30% chance (not considered an additional effect, prevented by Safeguard but not Substitute). If this Pokémon is the first Pokémon that is in the player’s party and the first in the party isn’t an Egg, the chance of encountering an Electric-type Pokémon, if possible, is 50%. (See "Encounters" in the notes.)

Steadfast

Whenever this Pokémon flinches, this Pokémon’s Speed rises by 1 stage. (Triggers during this Pokémon’s attack segment.)

Stench

Whenever this Pokémon damages another Pokémon with an attack that doesn’t have an additional effect of making its target flinch, that other Pokémon may flinch this turn (10% chance; considered an additional effect by Shield Dust and Serene Grace/Pledges; not cumulative with King’s Rock or Razor Fang; prevented by Substitute; treats each hit of a multi-hit attack as a separate attack). If this Pokémon is the first Pokémon that is in the player’s party and the first in the party isn’t an Egg, halves the rate of wild Pokémon battles.

Sticky Hold

This Pokémon’s held item can’t be removed from this Pokémon by other Pokémon. (This includes Bug Bite, Incinerate, Knock Off, and Pluck.) (This Pokémon can use Bestow, Switcheroo, and Trick normally, and Item Drop can still be used on it. Trick and Switcheroo will fail against this Pokémon even if it isn’t holding any items.) If this Pokémon is the first Pokémon that is in the player’s party and the first in the party isn’t an Egg, the fishing success rate raises.

Storm Drain

Water-type attacks (even non-damaging ones, but not Water Pledge) by other Pokémon with a range of "single Pokémon except user" that could target this Pokémon are directed to this Pokémon instead of to any other Pokémon that could be a target of that attack (other than its user). (Applied after Follow Me, but before Magic Coat. If more than one potential target of the attack has this Ability, the attack is directed to the target (of that kind) with the highest Speed stat, or if there is a tie, to a random tied Pokémon.) Whenever a Water-type attack (even a non-damaging one and including Water Pledge) by another Pokémon targets this Pokémon, and the attack is not otherwise ineffective against this Pokémon, this Pokémon’s Special Attack rises by 1 stage and that attack is ineffective against this Pokémon. (Applied after effects that change targets, but before accuracy check and damage calculation.)

Sturdy

One-hit KO attacks against this Pokémon will fail for other Pokémon (whether or not this Pokémon’s HP is full). If this Pokémon’s HP is full and damage (including confusion damage) would reduce this Pokémon’s HP to less than 1, instead that damage reduces this Pokémon’s HP to 1 (treats each hit of a multi-hit attack as a separate attack; takes precedence over Focus Sash and Focus Band; Endure takes precedence over this effect).

Suction Cups

Attacks by other Pokémon and items held by other Pokémon can’t force this Pokémon to end a wild Pokémon battle or cause this Pokémon to be replaced with a different Pokémon not in battle. If this Pokémon is the first Pokémon that is in the player’s party and the first in the party isn’t an Egg, the fishing success rate raises.

Super Luck

Attacks by this Pokémon have a heightened chance for a critical hit.

Swarm

If this Pokémon has 1/3 of its maximum HP, rounded down, or less, Attack and Special Attack for Bug-type attacks by this Pokémon is multiplied by 1.5.

Swift Swim

During Rain Dance, this Pokémon’s Speed is doubled.

Synchronize

Whenever this Pokémon is burned, poisoned, or paralyzed by an attack by another Pokémon or an Ability from another Pokémon, that other Pokémon also receives the same condition. (This doesn’t include Toxic Spikes. Safeguard and Substitute don’t affect this. If this Pokémon became badly poisoned, that other Pokémon becomes badly poisoned. Effect happens immediately.) If this Pokémon is the first Pokémon that is in the player’s party and the first in the party isn’t an Egg, the rate of encountering wild Pokémon with the same nature as this Pokémon is 50%. (See "Encounters" in the notes.)

Tangled Feet

As long as this Pokémon is confused, accuracy of attacks against this Pokémon is halved.

Technician

If an attack by this Pokémon against another Pokémon has a power of 60 or less, that attack’s power is multiplied by 1.5. (Includes Struggle. Applied after effects of the attack itself that vary its power and after Helping Hand, and before other effects that modify its power.)

Telepathy

Whenever a damaging attack by an ally of this Pokémon targets this Pokémon, that attack is ineffective against this Pokémon if it isn’t otherwise ineffective against it. (Affects Future Sight and Doom Desire only at the time they return an attack.)

Teravolt

While this Pokémon is using an attack, effects from certain Abilities by other Pokémon are not applied. (When this Pokémon enters the battle and whenever it adopts this Ability after it had another Ability, a message reveals this Ability on this Pokémon.)

Detailed Information

The list of Abilities prevented by this Ability is: Battle Armor, Big Pecks, Clear Body, Contrary, Damp (both the Selfdestruct/Explosion effect and the Aftermath effect), Dry Skin (both the boosted power and absorbing Water attacks), Filter, Flash Fire, Flower Gift (both the Attack and Special Defense boosts), Friend Guard, Heatproof, Heavy Metal, Hyper Cutter, Immunity, Inner Focus, Insomnia, Keen Eye, Leaf Guard, Levitate, Light Metal, Lightningrod, Limber, Magic Bounce, Magma Armor, Marvel Scale, Motor Drive, Multiscale, Oblivious (including when Oblivious prevents Captivate from working), Own Tempo, Sand Veil, Sap Sipper, Shell Armor, Shield Dust, Simple, Snow Cloak, Solid Rock, Soundproof, Sticky Hold, Storm Drain, Sturdy, Suction Cups, Tangled Feet, Telepathy, Thick Fat, Unaware (even if this Pokémon’s stat stages are less than 0), Vital Spirit, Volt Absorb, Water Absorb, Water Veil, White Smoke, Wonder Guard, and Wonder Skin. Moreover, this Ability do not affect the returned attack from Future Sight and Doom Desire. For two-turn attacks, only the first and second attack segment of the attack are affected, not the entire effect (to avoid confusion with the term "using a two-turn attack"). This Ability also prevent Abilities that contain the words "This Pokémon can’t...", such as Limber, from removing the respective condition from Pokémon with these Abilities during the attack (including its additional effect), although the Abilities that contain such words will still remove it after all effects of the attack resolve.

Thick Fat

Attack and Special Attack for Fire- and Ice-type attacks against this Pokémon is halved.

Tinted Lens

{Damage from attacks whose types are "not very effective" against this Pokémon’s types, if they are used by this Pokémon against other Pokémon, is doubled. }

Torrent

If this Pokémon has 1/3 of its maximum HP, rounded down, or less, Attack and Special Attack for Water-type attacks by this Pokémon is multiplied by 1.5.

Toxic Boost

As long as this Pokémon is poisoned, the power of physical attacks by this Pokémon against other Pokémon is multiplied by 1.5.

Trace

When this Pokémon enters the battle, its Ability becomes the Ability that a random adjacent opposing Pokémon, among those that actually have an Ability other than Flower Gift, Forecast, Illusion, Imposter, Multitype, Trace, Wonder Guard, and Zen Mode, actually has. {If there is no such Pokémon, this Ability doesn’t trigger. }

Truant

{Every other turn, this Pokémon does nothing instead of using an attack. (See "notes" below for details.) }

Turboblaze

While this Pokémon is using an attack, effects from certain Abilities by other Pokémon are not applied. (When this Pokémon enters the battle and whenever it adopts this Ability after it had another Ability, a message reveals this Ability on this Pokémon.)

Detailed Information

The list of Abilities prevented by this Ability is: Battle Armor, Big Pecks, Clear Body, Contrary, Damp (both the Selfdestruct/Explosion effect and the Aftermath effect), Dry Skin (both the boosted power and absorbing Water attacks), Filter, Flash Fire, Flower Gift (both the Attack and Special Defense boosts), Friend Guard, Heatproof, Heavy Metal, Hyper Cutter, Immunity, Inner Focus, Insomnia, Keen Eye, Leaf Guard, Levitate, Light Metal, Lightningrod, Limber, Magic Bounce, Magma Armor, Marvel Scale, Motor Drive, Multiscale, Oblivious (including when Oblivious prevents Captivate from working), Own Tempo, Sand Veil, Sap Sipper, Shell Armor, Shield Dust, Simple, Snow Cloak, Solid Rock, Soundproof, Sticky Hold, Storm Drain, Sturdy, Suction Cups, Tangled Feet, Telepathy, Thick Fat, Unaware (even if this Pokémon’s stat stages are less than 0), Vital Spirit, Volt Absorb, Water Absorb, Water Veil, White Smoke, Wonder Guard, and Wonder Skin. Moreover, this Ability doesn’t affect the returned attack from Future Sight and Doom Desire. For two-turn attacks, only the first and second attack segment of the attack are affected, not the entire effect (to avoid confusion with the term "using a two-turn attack"). This Ability also prevents Abilities that contain the words "This Pokémon can’t...", such as Limber, from removing the respective condition from Pokémon with these Abilities during the attack (including its additional effect), although the Abilities that contain such words will still remove it after all effects of the attack resolve.

Unaware

Attacks by this Pokémon against other Pokémon ignore their target’s Defense, Special Defense, and evasiveness stat stages. Attacks by other Pokémon against this Pokémon ignore the Attack, Special Attack, and accuracy stat stages (affects Foul Play). (This effect applies only in damage calculation and accuracy checks. Power calculation for Punishment and Stored Power is not specially affected.)

Unburden

This Pokémon’s Speed is doubled as long as it actually isn’t holding an item if an item that this Pokémon [actually] held { was consumed or removed from this Pokémon while this Pokémon had this Ability and since this Pokémon entered the battle. (This applies even if the item is swapped for the same or different item. This includes if this Pokémon has an item "knocked off".)}

Unnerve

Whenever this Pokémon or another Pokémon enters the battle, berries held by opposing Pokémon can’t trigger, until this Pokémon leaves the battle [or is rotated out] or doesn’t have this Ability. (Item Urge will have no effect for Berries held by those Pokémon. An opposing Pokémon can use Natural Gift and Fling normally and items involved in Bug Bite, Fling, and Pluck attacks by and against an opposing Pokémon will take effect normally.)

Victory Star

Accuracy of attacks by this Pokémon and its allies is multiplied by 1.1. (This effect is cumulative.)

Vital Spirit

This Pokémon can’t fall asleep. {If this Pokémon is the first Pokémon that is in the player’s party and the first in the party isn’t an Egg, the chance of encountering high-level Pokémon is 50%. (See "Encounters" in the notes.) }

Volt Absorb

Whenever an Electric-type attack (even a non-damaging one) by another Pokémon targets this Pokémon, and the attack is not otherwise ineffective against this Pokémon, this Pokémon gains 1/4 of its maximum HP (but not less than 1 HP) and that attack is ineffective against this Pokémon. (Applied after effects that change targets, but before accuracy check and damage calculation. An Electric-type Thunder Wave is ineffective against Ground-type targets in normal cases.)

Water Absorb

Whenever a Water-type attack (even a non-damaging one) by another Pokémon targets this Pokémon, and the attack is not otherwise ineffective against this Pokémon, this Pokémon gains 1/4 of its maximum HP (but not less than 1 HP) and that attack is ineffective against this Pokémon. (Applied after effects that change targets, but before accuracy check and damage calculation.)

Water Veil

This Pokémon can’t be burned.

Weak Armor

Whenever this Pokémon is damaged by a physical attack by another Pokémon, this Pokémon’s Defense falls by 1 stage and its Speed rises by 1 stage.

White Smoke

{Attacks and Abilities by other Pokémon can’t lower this Pokémon’s stat stages. (Effects that merely change stat stages without necessarily lowering them, such as Haze, are not affected.) If this Pokémon is the first Pokémon that is in the player’s party and the first in the party isn’t an Egg, halves the rate of wild Pokémon battles. }

Wonder Guard

This Pokémon is immune to damaging attacks whose type is not "super effective" against this Pokémon’s types. (Affects fixed-damage attacks in the same way as other damaging attacks. Doesn’t affect confusion damage or Struggle.)

Wonder Skin

Accuracy of non-damaging attacks against this Pokémon (with an accuracy check) is 50 (before accuracy-modifying effects).

Zen Mode

At the end of each turn, if this Pokémon is a Darmanitan and hasn’t transformed, this Pokémon assumes Zen Mode if its current HP is half its maximum HP or less (until this Pokémon has transformed), or Standard Mode otherwise, and this Pokémon reverts to Standard Mode when this Pokémon leaves the battle or doesn’t have this Ability. (If it changes to a different form this way, its stats are recalculated and its types change to conform to that form, except if it has transformed.)

Notes

Descriptions in normal text show effects that happen only in battle. Unless noted otherwise, such effects apply only if this Pokémon is in battle and isn’t rotated out. Descriptions in italics indicate effects that occur out of battle.

In Rotation Battles, Abilities that trigger "when this Pokémon enters the battle" do not trigger if this Pokémon enters the battle in a rotated-out state. They don’t trigger when the Pokémon rotates in.

If an Ability’s effect contains the words "This Pokémon can’t...", the affected condition, if the Pokémon has it, is removed if the Pokémon has this Ability. This effect triggers after each Pokémon’s attack segment and whenever a Pokémon (including this Pokémon) enters the battle (including when a battle begins). This effect won’t remove the affected condition when it leaves the battle or when a battle ends, even if this Ability is the Pokémon’s original Ability.

Pokémon Black Version and Pokémon White Version - Held Items

If an item’s trigger condition includes the word "when" (such as in Lum Berry and Sitrus Berry), as well as Custap Berry, it doesn’t trigger if a Pokémon has transformed, but it triggers, among other things, when a Pokémon leaves the battle.

If there is a first move that the holder chose for use and that wasn’t prevented from being used (and where the holder held this item as it started to use the move, since holder entered the battle or the effect ends or is reset, whichever is later), holder can’t choose any other move for use (while holder is holding this item) for as long as holder remains in battle, has that move, and is actually holding this item. (Trick and Switcheroo reset this effect even if holder thereby gains the same or a different choice item. Applies to use of Pursuit as a Pokémon is about to switch. Ignores moves used by other moves, moves that are prevented from being used, moves that couldn’t be used because they had zero PP, and moves used by the holder because of Magic Bounce, Magic Coat, or Snatch. Ignores Struggle. Effect is not reset if affected move runs out of PP and then has its PP restored.)

Ground-type attacks are normally effective against the holder if it’s a Flying type (overrides Smack Down here, but not Ingrain or Gravity), and they are effective against the holder as though it didn’t have Levitate.

(Counts all hits of a multi-hit attack. Attacks used on different turns are considered separate attacks. The appropriate type item will also trigger if Present would try to recover HP to the target, even if it can’t do so. Affects Selfdestruct and Explosion, even though the holder faints from the attack. For Future Sight and Doom Desire, the effect triggers only at the time the attack is returned at the end of the effect, only if the holder is in battle (even if the holder is rotated out), and only if the holder began the effect by using the attack.
