White Smoke (Japanese: しろいけむり White Smoke) is an ability introduced in Generation III. Only one Pokémon has this ability.
Effect
In battle
White Smoke prevents ability reduction. Therefore the Pokémon's stats cannot be reduced from moves such as Scary Face, or abilities such as Intimidate. However, self-inflicted stat reduction from moves like Overheat will still happen.
Outside of battle
From Pokémon Emerald onwards, if the Pokémon with White Smoke is leading the party, then White Smoke decreases the wild Pokémon encounter rate.
