Trivia

• Due to a translation error when the ability was first revealed, the effect was believed to allow the foe to critical hit twice as often, not the user.
• So far, the majority of Pokémon that have this ability are based off of birds.
  • The only Pokémon that has this ability and isn't related to a bird is Absol.
