Pressure (Ability): Difference between revisions

|text3=Raises the foe's PP usage.

'''Pressure''' (Japanese: '''プレッシャー''' ''Pressure'') is an [[Ability]] introduced in [[Generation III]]. Twenty-five Pokémon can have this Ability.

When a Pokémon with Pressure is targeted by a foe's move, one additional PP is deducted upon execution. Consequently, extra PP is deducted even if the foe's move misses, has multiple targets, or is rendered ineffective due to immunity.

This Ability isn't affected by {{a|Teravolt}} and {{a|Turboblaze}}.

As of Generation IV, one is alerted to the presence of Pressure by the message "'''<name> is exerting its Pressure!'''"

In Generation IV, Pressure increases PP usage of moves executed not only by foes, but also by Double Battle allies. This does not happen in Generation V.

* Pressure is shared by all members of both the [[legendary birds]] and [[legendary beasts]], including their [[trio master]]s. All members of the [[creation trio]] can also have Pressure. This makes it the most common Ability amongst [[legendary Pokémon]].

* {{p|Wailmer}} and {{p|Pawniard}} are the only non-evolved nor fully evolved Pokémon that have Pressure as their Abilities, and both can only have this ability when obtained from the [[Dream World]].
