'''Suction Cups''' (Japanese: '''きゅうばん''' ''Suction Cups'') is an [[ability]] that ''firmly anchors the body.'' Only 3 [[Pokémon]] have this ability. This ability prevents the opponent from forcing a switch with {{m|Roar}} or {{m|Whirlwind}}. Outside of battle, Suction Cups ''causes bites to occur more often while fishing'' (see also {{A|Sticky Hold}}). It was introduced in [[Generation III]].

'''Suction Cups''' (Japanese: '''きゅうばん''' ''Suction Cups'') is an [[Ability]] introduced in [[Generation III]].
 
==Effect==
===In battle===
This Ability prevents other Pokémon from forcing the Pokémon with this Ability to [[recall|switch out]] or [[escape|flee]] with {{cat|Moves that switch the target out|a move}} (e.g. {{m|Roar}}, {{m|Circle Throw}}, etc.) or item ([[Red Card]]). Suction Cups does not affect the Pokémon switching out manually, or switching out or fleeing with its own move (e.g. {{m|Baton Pass}}, {{m|Teleport}}, etc.) or item ([[Eject Button]]).
 
Even if the Pokémon with this Ability is {{type|Ghost}} or holds a [[Shed Shell]] or [[Smoke Ball]], it cannot be forced to switch or flee. If a Pokémon with this Ability is under the effect of {{m|Ingrain}}, Suction Cups will take priority over Ingrain if it would be forced to switch or flee.
 
If a Pokémon with Suction Cups hits a Pokémon holding a Red Card, the Red Card will still activate and be consumed, but fails to cause that Pokémon to switch out or flee.
 
===Outside of battle===
{{AbilityResearch|In [[Generation VII]], does Suction Cups only make Pokémon fishing encounters more common, or does it make hooking anything more common?}}
From {{game|Emerald}} onwards, if a Pokémon with Suction Cups is in first place in the player's [[party]] (even if [[fainting|fainted]]), bites will occur more often while [[fishing]]. {{a|Sticky Hold}} has the same effect.
 
Due to an error in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, the Ability has no effect outside of battle in those games.<ref>[https://twitter.com/im_a_blisy/status/1266504362085552134 @im_a_blisy on Twitter]</ref> This behavior is kept in {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, where the Ability also has no effect outside of battle.<ref>https://twitter.com/Sibuna_Switch/status/1465550398354345997</ref>
