'''Mold Breaker''' (Japanese: '''かたやぶり''' ''Mold-Breaking'') is an [[Ability]] introduced in [[Generation IV]].

===Generation IV===
{{main|Ignoring Abilities}}
Mold Breaker allows the Pokémon's moves to strike through any opposing abilities; e.g. {{type2|Fire}} moves will hit a Pokémon with {{a|Flash Fire}}. Likewise, Pokémon with {{a|Water Absorb}} or {{a|Wonder Guard}} will have their abilities disabled and will be damaged by Water or non-super effective moves, respectively. The {{a|Levitate}} ability is also lifted, enabling {{type2|Ground}} moves to hit those Pokémon. However, this does not enable Pokémon who are unaffected from a type by its own typing, rather than an ability, to get hit by the type that doesn't affect it through Mold Breaker.
When a Pokémon with Mold Breaker uses a move, the effects of all Pokémon's {{DL|Ignoring Abilities|ignorable Abilities}} are ignored for the execution of that move. (Ignorable Abilities are most Abilities that could potentially negatively affect the success, damage, or effects of a move if possessed by the target of a move or its allies.) For example, a Pokémon with Mold Breaker that uses {{m|Earthquake}} can hit opponents that have {{a|Levitate}}.


When a Pokémon with Mold Breaker is brought out, the message "'''<name> has Mold Breaker!'''" will be displayed.
In Generation IV, when a Pokémon with Mold Breaker is brought out, the message "'''<name> has Mold Breaker!'''" is displayed. From Generation V onward, when a Pokémon with Mold Breaker is brought out, the message "'''<name> breaks the mold!'''" is displayed.


===Generation V===
====Generation IV====
Mold Breaker does not ignore the effects of {{a|Mummy}}.
{{a|Flower Gift}} will increase the {{stat|Attack}} of allies with Mold Breaker, even when they are attacking the ally with Flower Gift.
 
====Generation V onward====
If a Pokémon with Mold Breaker forces a Pokémon to switch in by using a {{cat|Moves that switch the target out|move that switches the target out}} (such as {{m|Roar}} or {{m|Dragon Tail}}), ignorable Abilities are ignored when applying [[entry hazard]]s. For example, a Pokémon with {{a|Levitate}} switched in this way will be affected by {{m|Spikes}} and {{m|Toxic Spikes}} (unless it is also [[grounded|ungrounded]] for other reasons); if a {{type|Poison}} Pokémon with Levitate is switched in this way, it will remove Toxic Spikes from its side of the field (unless it is also ungrounded for other reasons).
 
If a Pokémon with Mold Breaker attacks, it does not gain {{stat|Attack}} due to an ally's Flower Gift.
 
====Generation VIII onward====
Mold Breaker no longer ignores {{a|Dark Aura}} and {{a|Fairy Aura}}, though it will still ignore Aura Break.
