Water Veil (Japanese: みずのベール Water Veil) is an Ability introduced in Generation III. Eleven Pokémon can have this Ability, all of which are Water type.

Effect

In battle

Water Veil prevents the Pokémon from being burned.

A Pokémon with this Ability will be cured of burn if it is burned while in battle (such as if it gains the Ability outside of battle or by an effect like Skill Swap, or is burned by a Pokémon with an Ability like Mold Breaker). If the Pokémon is holding a Rawst Berry or a Lum Berry, it will be eaten before Water Veil cures the Pokémon of burn.

Outside of battle

If a burned Pokémon gains Water Veil by evolution or the Ability Capsule, it will not be cured of burn until sent into battle. Pokémon with Water Veil will not be burned by the Gentleman's Kirlia or Dusclops in the Battle Pike nor the Battle Arcade's game board.
