-No Pokémon have Sniper as their only ability.

+Critical hits will do 3× damage instead of 2× damage. Sniper cannot be activated by {{m|Beat Up}}.

+====Generation V====
-! style="width:80px" | {{p|Seadra}}
+Sniper can now be activated by Beat Up. Additionally, rather than changing the critical hit multiplier directly, Sniper now multiplies by 1.5 the damage dealt by a move that deals a critical hit, applied last to [[damage]] as part of the "final" modifiers that get applied to the damage, resulting in virtually the same effect.

+Critical hits will now effectively do only 2.25× damage, as a result of the critical hit multiplier being lowered to 1.5×.
