Sheer Force (Ability): Difference between revisions

'''Sheer Force''' (Japanese: '''ちからずく''' ''Sheer Force'') is an Ability introduced in [[Generation V]]. Twenty-five {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} can have this Ability.

Sheer Force raises the base power of all attacking moves that have an [[additional effect]] by 30%, but the additional effects are ignored.

Sheer Force does not negate primary effects such as [[recoil]], stat penalty or status condition for the user, increased critical hit rate, moves that never miss, moves that change power, two-turn moves, etc. Sheer Force will, however, negate all secondary effects, such as reducing the target's stats, increasing the user's stats, or causing a status condition to the target. Moves that have both a primary and secondary effect will have only their secondary effect negated (and gain the power boost). For example, {{m|Flare Blitz}} has both a primary recoil effect and a secondary chance to burn; its damage will be boosted by 30% (but not cause burn) and still inflict recoil to the user after attacking.

If (and only if) a move is boosted by the effect of Sheer Force, it will no longer trigger item or Ability effects that activate ''after attacking''. This includes the effects of {{DL|In-battle effect item|Eject Button}}, {{DL|In-battle effect item|Shell Bell}}, and {{DL|In-battle effect item|Red Card}}, as well as the Ability {{a|Color Change}}. If an item has two effects, only the effect(s) that activate after attacking will be negated. Therefore, if a Pokémon holds a {{DL|In-battle effect item|Life Orb}}, it will gain the passive damage boost (because it is not activated after the attack) but the recoil effect afterward will be ignored.
