Hyper Cutter (Japanese: かいりきバサミ Superpowerful Claws) is an Ability introduced in Generation III. Nine Pokémon have this Ability.
Effect
In battle
Hyper Cutter prevents the Attack stat from being reduced (except those self-inflicted) from moves such as Growl or Abilities such as Intimidate. However, the stat can be changed by Power Swap, Heart Swap, or Power Split and inflict a stat boost with Swagger.
Outside of battle
In Pokémon Emerald, using Cut will remove all tall grass within a two square radius of the player's position, as opposed to a one square radius without this Ability. In Generation IV and onward, Hyper Cutter has no effect outside of battle due to removal of cutting tall grass.
