''' | An '''Ability''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|特性|とくせい}}''' ''ability'') is a game mechanic introduced in [[Generation III]] that provides a passive effect in battle or in the overworld. Individual Pokémon may have only one Ability at a time. Prior to [[Generation VI]], an Ability could not be changed after a Pokémon was obtained except by [[Evolution]]—where the new Ability is determined by the former Ability—and [[List of Pokémon with form differences|form change]]. Not every Ability is beneficial; {{cat|Abilities with negative effects|some will hinder the user}}. | ||
Some Pokémon | ==Mechanics== | ||
[[File:Primordial Sea.png|thumb|[[Primal Reversion|Primal]] {{p|Kyogre}} activating its Ability, {{a|Primordial Sea}}]] | |||
Some species of Pokémon have multiple possible Abilities. The most Abilities any species has is three: two normal Abilities and one Hidden Ability. In most [[wild Pokémon]] encounters, the Pokémon's Ability will be one of its non-Hidden Abilities (each having an even chance of appearing if the species has two). Hidden Abilities were only introduced in [[Generation V]]; they are relatively rare and usually require some type of special encounter. | |||
Pokémon | In technical terms, a species' Abilities may be thought of as having separate slots, with an individual Pokémon's non-Hidden slot determined by its [[personality value]]. For example, an {{p|Eevee}}—with two non-Hidden Abilities—has {{a|Run Away}} for its first non-Hidden slot, {{a|Adaptability}} for its second, and {{a|Anticipation}} for its Hidden Ability slot. {{p|Vaporeon}}—with only one non-Hidden Ability—can be considered to have {{a|Water Absorb}} for both non-Hidden slots. When a Pokémon evolves, its Ability slot remains the same. This means that a {{p|Poochyena}} with {{a|Run Away}} will evolve into a {{p|Mightyena}} with {{a|Intimidate}}, while a Poochyena with {{a|Quick Feet}} will evolve into a Mightyena with {{a|Quick Feet}}. | ||
Abilities | Aside from Evolution, there are two ways for Pokémon to change Abilities in a permanent manner. One way is if the Pokémon has different [[List of Pokémon with form differences|forms]] with different Abilities. The other way is through the [[Ability Capsule]], which is only available in [[Generation VI]]. The Ability Capsule actually changes a Pokémon's non-Hidden Ability slot, but it will not work if the Pokémon has its Hidden Ability or if the species has only one non-Hidden Ability. Aside from these methods, during battle, Pokémon may also change their Ability through [[Mega Evolution]] or [[Primal Reversion]], and certain [[move]]s and Abilities can also change a Pokémon's Ability. | ||
When Abilities were introduced in [[Generation III]], some Pokémon only had one possible Ability. A number of these species were given a second Ability in a later generation. If a Pokémon whose species gained an Ability after Generation III is transferred to Generations IV or {{gen|V}}, it will initially retain its original Ability; upon evolving, however, its Ability slot will be recalculated and its Ability may change. When a Pokémon is transferred to Generation VI, however, it will be locked into the appropriate slot for its current Ability. | |||
Aside from in-battle effects, some Abilities also have effects {{cat|Abilities with field effects|outside of battle}}. | |||

Beginning in [[Generation V]], {{cat|Pokémon without Hidden Abilities|most Pokémon}} were given an additional, '''Hidden Ability''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|隠|かく}}れ{{tt|特性|とくせい}}''' ''Hidden Ability''), which can only be acquired under special circumstances. Such circumstances are listed below. | |||
* Where possible, all Pokémon obtained from the [[Pokémon Global Link]], either via the [[Pokémon Dream World]] or a [[List of Pokémon Global Link promotions/Pokémon|Global Link promotion]], will always have their Hidden Ability. | |||
* Certain [[event Pokémon]] may have their Hidden Ability. | |||
* Pokémon obtained from the [[Pokémon Dream Radar]] will have their Hidden Abilities. | |||
* Some overworld Pokémon in {{game|Black and White|s}} have their Hidden Ability: | |||
** The five {{p|Darmanitan}} in the [[Desert Resort]]. | |||
** The {{p|Musharna}} in the [[Dreamyard]] on Fridays. | |||
* Any Pokémon found in [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2]]'s [[Hidden Grotto]]s have their Hidden Ability. In addition, the following Pokémon will have their Hidden Ability: | |||
** On Mondays, a male {{p|Jellicent}} at [[Undella Bay]]{{sup/5|B2}} or a {{p|Braviary}} on {{rt|4|Unova}}{{sup/5|W2}}. | |||
** On Thursdays, a {{p|Mandibuzz}} on {{rt|4|Unova}}{{sup/5|B2}} or a female {{p|Jellicent}} at [[Undella Bay]]{{sup/5|W2}}. | |||
** A {{p|Deerling}} given as a gift on {{rt|6|Unova}} | |||
** [[Yancy]]/[[Curtis]] will trade the player a specific Pokémon with a hidden ability after entering the [[Hall of Fame]] and riding the ferris wheel with them. | |||
* A Pokémon in a [[Horde Encounter]] may have its Hidden Ability. | |||
* Pokémon found in a [[Friend Safari]] have a small chance of having a Hidden Ability. That chance increases if the registered friend associated with the Safari is online. | |||
* {{DL|DexNav|Hidden Pokémon}} have a small chance of having their Hidden Ability. The chance increases as more of the same species are encountered. | |||
{| style="text-align: | ===Abilities and breeding=== | ||
Before Generation V, the Ability slot that a [[Pokémon Egg]] would have when it hatched was left to random chance, resulting in a 50% chance of having either slot. Since Generation V, though, special mechanics have been introduced. | |||
! width=" | |||
Starting in {{2v2|Black|White}}, female Pokémon with [[Ability#Hidden Abilities|Hidden Abilities]] have a 60% chance of passing on the Hidden Ability to their offspring when bred with a male Pokémon from the same [[Egg Group]]. In Generation VI, this was extended so that male and genderless Pokémon with a Hidden Ability can also pass it down if they are bred with Ditto. The chance of the offspring having either non-Hidden Ability is 20% each. | |||
Starting in {{2v2|Black|White|2}}, there is an 80% chance that the Ability slot of the female will be passed to the baby when bred with a male Pokémon from the same Egg Group. Starting in Generation VI, this chance is generically applied to any non-Ditto parent. | |||

==In Pokémon Conquest== | |||
{{main|List of Abilities in Pokémon Conquest}} | |||
While most Pokémon species in [[Pokémon Conquest]] have access to three Abilities (similar to the main series, Hidden Abilities included), many of these Abilities are different from the main series due to differences in the battle system. For example, Abilities like {{a|Cute Charm}} and {{a|Rivalry}} do not exist in Pokémon Conquest (due to the game's lack of a [[gender]] mechanic), while other Abilities utilize mechanics unique to Pokémon Conquest battles (like "Sprint", which increases the user's movement {{stat|Range}}). | |||
Like the main series, an individual Pokémon's Ability is dictated by its current species (i.e. evolutionary form) and may change during [[evolution]]. | |||
==In the anime== | |||
[[File:Clemont Chespin Overgrow.png|thumb|250px|[[Clemont's Chespin]] activating {{a|Overgrow}}]] | |||
Abilities have been shown in the anime, but are usually only used in battles; however, sometimes they have an effect on the plot, such as [[Ash's Infernape]]'s {{a|Blaze}}. Abilities sometimes work differently in the anime than they would in the games, such as {{a|Mold Breaker}}, which in the anime cancels out more Abilities than it would in the games. | |||
===In the {{series|original}}=== | |||
The only Ability that was seen in the original series was {{a|Color Change}}, being used by [[Madison and Alexa]]'s {{p|Kecleon}} in ''[[EP205|The Kecleon Caper]]''. It was later used by {{jo|Harrison}}'s Kecleon in ''[[EP271|Playing With Fire!]]''. | |||
===In the {{series|Advanced Generation}}=== | |||
The first Ability to be seen other than {{a|Color Change}} was {{a|Rough Skin}}, first seen in ''[[AG019|Sharpedo Attack!]]''. It was used by a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Sharpedo}}. | |||
In ''[[AG033|Now That's Flower Power!]]'' a {{p|Kecleon}} used {{a|Color Change}}. | |||
In ''[[AG039|A Poké-BLOCK Party!]]'', a {{p|Whismur}} used its {{a|Soundproof}} Ability to stay awake and listen to {{an|Jigglypuff}}'s song. | |||
[[Colonel Hansen]]'s {{p|Shedinja}} used {{a|Wonder Guard}} in ''[[AG044|The Princess and the Togepi]]''. | |||
Two Abilities were seen in ''[[AG070|Balance of Power]]'', being used by [[Ash's Pikachu]] and {{AP|Grovyle}}, using {{a|Static}} and {{a|Overgrow}} respectively. | |||
[[Bart]]'s {{p|Castform}} used {{a|Forecast}} in ''[[AG083|Unfair Weather Friends]]'', turning into its [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Castform|Sunny and Rainy Form]]. | |||
In ''[[AG088|The Garden of Eatin']]'', [[Marcel]]'s {{p|Vigoroth}} used {{a|Vital Spirit}}. | |||
Both {{a|Drizzle}} and {{a|Drought}} were seen in ''[[AG097|Gaining Groudon]]'' and ''[[AG098|The Scuffle of Legends]]'' respectively. | |||
In ''[[AG099|It's Still Rocket Roll to Me!]]'', [[Liza]]'s {{p|Lunatone}} used {{a|Levitate}}. | |||
In ''[[AG111|Eight Ain't Enough]]'', [[Juan]]'s {{p|Luvdisc}} used {{a|Swift Swim}}. | |||
In ''[[AG112|Showdown At Linoone]]'', a {{p|Linoone}} has the Ability {{a|Pickup}} and takes items to its private stash, including {{an|May}}'s Poké Balls. | |||
In ''[[AG131|At the End of the Fray]]'', [[Tyson]]'s {{p|Hariyama}} used {{a|Thick Fat}}. | |||
In ''[[AG138|Rough, Tough Jigglypuff]]'', [[Lisa Mitchum]]'s {{p|Jigglypuff}} used {{a|Cute Charm}} Her [[Mitch Mitchum|father]]'s {{p|Loudred}} used Soundproof to stop Jigglypuff's {{m|Sing}} from working. | |||
[[Angela]]'s Kecleon used Color Change in ''[[AG156|From Cradle to Save]]'', as well as [[Brock's Bonsly]] using {{a|Rock Head}}. | |||
In ''[[AG188|Pinch Healing!]]'', a wild {{p|Wooper}} used {{a|Water Absorb}}. | |||
In ''[[AG191|Once More With Reeling!]]'', [[May's Blaziken]] used its {{a|Blaze}} Ability while [[Ash's Sceptile]] used {{a|Overgrow}} during their [[Contest Battle]] in the {{to|Terracotta}} {{pkmn|Contest}}. | |||
===In the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}=== | |||
Abilities proved important in the battles [[Paul]] and {{Ash}} had with [[Roark]]. During Paul's battle in ''[[DP015|Shapes of Things to Come!]]'', his {{TP|Paul|Elekid}} uses {{a|Static}} to paralyze Roark's {{p|Onix}} and {{p|Cranidos}} although the latter shakes it off with {{a|Mold Breaker}}. Paul also deliberately allows his {{TP|Paul|Chimchar}} to take extra damage so that it can activate {{a|Blaze}}. After {{Ash}}'s first match with Roark ends in defeat, {{an|Brock}} briefly lends him {{TP|Brock|Sudowoodo}} in ''[[DP017|Wild in the Streets!]]'' because its Ability {{a|Rock Head}} makes it similar to Roark's Pokémon Onix, who also had the Ability. During Ash's rematch in ''[[DP018|O'er the Rampardos We Watched!]]'', {{AP|Pikachu}} also activates {{a|Static}} against Roark's newly evolved {{TP|Roark|Rampardos}} and it is similarly ineffective. | |||
In ''[[DP036|A Secret Sphere of Influence!]]'', [[Officer Jenny]]'s {{p|Stunky}} used {{a|Stench}}. | |||
[[Gardenia]]'s {{p|Cherubi}} caught {{Ash}} by surprise during their first battle in ''[[DP037|The Grass Menagerie!]]'' when it was able to move very quickly with {{a|Chlorophyll}}. | |||
In ''[[DP050|Tag! We're It...!]]'', Ash and Paul found themselves at a disadvantage during their first [[Multi Battle|Tag Battle]] in the [[Hearthome City Tag Battle Competition]] because the {{p|Rhydon}} used by one of their opponents possessed {{a|Lightning Rod}}, rendering Pikachu's {{type|Electric}} [[move|attacks]] useless. | |||
In ''[[DP051|Glory Blaze!]]'' Ash, {{an|Dawn}} and {{an|Brock}} found Paul and {{cat|Paul's Pokémon|his other Pokémon}} evidently abusing his {{TP|Paul|Chimchar}}, repeatedly attacking it until it eventually collapsed from exhaustion. When confronted, Paul explained that Chimchar actually wanted the brutal training regimen; when they first met, Chimchar was being attacked by wild {{p|Zangoose}} and when pushed to the limit it activated {{a|Blaze}} and defeated all of the Zangoose with {{m|Flame Wheel}}. This incredible power was what drove Paul to capture Chimchar in the first place and the two have been trying to replicate the experience ever since with no success. | |||
{{a|Swift Swim}} was an important part of [[Ash's Buizel]] going toe to toe with [[Maylene's Lucario]] in ''[[DP068|A Triple Fighting Chance!]]'' | |||
{{a|Blaze}} returned in ''[[DP081|Chim - Charred!]]'' when Ash's Chimchar became enraged during a battle with [[Paul's Ursaring]]. It took considerable effort for Ash to return Chimchar to normal after it defeated Ursaring, causing Paul to leave the battle a draw. Paul told Ash that they would only battle again when and if Ash and Chimchar learned to control Blaze. | |||
In ''[[DP095|Battling the Generation Gap!]]'', [[Lila]]'s {{p|Delcatty}} activated his {{a|Cute Charm}} Ability while battling [[Dawn's Ambipom]] in the final round of the {{to|Celestic}} {{pkmn|Contest}}. | |||
[[Brock's Croagunk]] first used his {{a|Anticipation}} Ability in ''[[DP096|Losing Its Lustrous!]]''. He often used it to find Team Rocket and chase them off on his own. | |||
Two {{p|Darkrai}} have used {{a|Bad Dreams}}. One used it in ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'' and another in ''[[DP104|Sleepless in Pre-Battle!]]''. | |||
In ''[[DP102|A Shield with a Twist!]]'', [[Fantina]]'s {{p|Gengar}} used {{a|Levitate}}. | |||
In ''[[DP108|Dealing with Defensive Types!]]'', [[Byron]]'s {{p|Bronzor}} used its {{a|Heatproof}} Ability to minimize damage from [[Ash's Chimchar]]'s {{m|Flamethrower}}. | |||
In ''[[DP114|Another One Gabites the Dust!]]'', [[Jessie's Yanmega]] activated its {{a|Speed Boost}} Ability while performing in the {{to|Chocovine}} {{pkmn|Contest}}. | |||
In ''[[DP118|Pursuing a Lofty Goal!]]'', [[Paul's Honchkrow]] used its Ability {{a|Super Luck}}. | |||
In ''[[DP127|Sliding Into Seventh!]]'', [[Jeremiah]]'s {{p|Skuntank}} was known to have Stench as it Ability but the Ability activated off-screen. | |||
In ''[[DP132|Evolving Strategies!]]'', [[Paul's Magmortar]] used its {{a|Flame Body}} Ability to burn [[Ash's Pikachu]]. [[Paul's Ursaring]] also used its {{a|Guts}} Ability when [[Ash's Pikachu]]'s {{a|Static}} activated. | |||
An {{p|Arceus}} used {{a|Multitype}} in ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]''. | |||
In ''[[DP141|Challenging a Towering Figure!]]'', [[Palmer]]'s {{p|Rhyperior}} used {{a|Solid Rock}}. | |||
A wild {{p|Trapinch}} used its {{a|Arena Trap}} Ability in ''[[DP145|A Rivalry to Gible On!]]''. | |||
A wild {{p|Heatran}} used {{a|Flash Fire}} in ''[[DP169|Pokémon Ranger: Heatran Rescue!]]''. | |||
[[Volkner]]'s {{p|Electivire}} used its {{a|Motor Drive}} Ability in ''[[DP179|The Eighth Wonder of the Sinnoh World!]]'' against {{Ash}} in their [[Gym]] battle. It was later used by [[Paul's Electivire]] in ''[[DP188|Battling a Thaw in Relations!]]''. | |||
In ''[[DP184|Casting a Paul on Barry!]]'', [[Barry's Empoleon]] activated its {{a|Torrent}} Ability while battling Paul's Electivire in the third round of the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]]. | |||
[[Paul]]'s {{p|Aggron}} used its {{a|Rock Head}} Ability in ''[[DP186|Familiarity Breeds Strategy!]]'' to avoid damage from its {{m|Double-Edge}} attack. In [[DP187|the next episode]] Paul's {{p|Froslass}} and {{p|Ninjask}} used {{a|Snow Cloak}} and Speed Boost respectively. | |||
{{a|Illusion}} was seen twice in ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]'', being seen by a [[Zoroark (M13)|Zoroark]] and [[Zorua (M13)|Zorua]]. | |||
===In the {{series|Best Wishes}}=== | |||
A Hidden Ability was first seen in ''[[BW008|Saving Darmanitan From the Bell!]]'' by a {{p|Darmanitan}} using {{a|Zen Mode}}. | |||
In ''[[BW010|A Rival Battle for Club Champ!]]'', [[Trip]]'s {{p|Tranquill}} used {{a|Super Luck}} to easily defeat [[Ash's Oshawott]] and {{AP|Tepig}}. Trip's {{p|Frillish}} later used {{a|Cursed Body}}. | |||
In ''[[BW012|Here Comes the Trubbish Squad!]]'', a wild {{p|Trubbish}} used its Ability {{a|Stench}}. | |||
In ''[[BW014|A Night in the Nacrene City Museum!]]'', [[Lenora]]'s {{p|Watchog}} used its {{a|Illuminate}} Ability to reveal any hidden things in the museum to appear. | |||
{{AP|Sewaddle}} was revealed to have {{a|Swarm}} in ''[[BW019|A Connoisseur's Revenge!]]'' but he wasn't shown activating it. {{an|Cilan}}'s {{TP|Cilan|Dwebble}} was shown using its {{a|Sturdy}} Ability in the same episode. | |||
A wild {{p|Venipede}} used its {{a|Poison Point}} Ability to poison Ash in ''[[BW022|A Venipede Stampede!]]''. | |||
In ''[[BW034|Gotta Catch A Roggenrola!]]'', {{an|Iris}} pointed out that {{AP|Roggenrola}} had the Ability Sturdy, implying that Roggenrola would receive less damage than a Pokémon normally would. | |||
[[Luke's Zorua]] often used {{a|Illusion}} to help [[Luke]] in making his movies. It was first seen in ''[[BW038|Movie Time! Zorua in "The Legend of the Pokémon Knight"!]]''. | |||
In ''[[BW041|The Club Battle Hearts of Fury: Emolga Versus Sawk!]]'', [[Iris's Emolga]] used {{a|Static}} to help it win a battle against [[Stephan's Sawk]]. | |||

In ''[[BW061|Battling the King of the Mines!]]'', [[Ash's Boldore]] used its Sturdy Ability to stop a {{m|Horn Drill}} from working. | |||
In ''[[BW070|The Clubsplosion Begins!]]'', [[Edmund]]'s {{p|Seismitoad}} used {{a|Swift Swim}} against Stephan's Sawk, but ended up losing. | |||
In ''[[BW093|Goodbye, Junior Cup - Hello Adventure!]]'', [[Alder]]'s {{p|Bouffalant}} used {{a|Sap Sipper}} to defeat [[Trip's Serperior]]. | |||
In ''[[BW094|The Road to Humilau!]]'', [[Marlon]]'s {{p|Jellicent}} used Cursed Body. | |||
Swarm wasn't seen until ''[[BW106|Strong Strategy Steals the Show!]]'' during Leavanny's battle with [[Stephan's Sawk]]. | |||
In ''[[BW127|The Island of Illusions!]]'', a {{p|Zoroark}} used {{a|Illusion}}. | |||
In ''[[BW140|Survival of the Striaton Gym!]]'', [[Morana]]'s {{p|Abomasnow}} used its {{a|Snow Warning}} Ability. [[Cilan's Pansage]] was confirmed to have Gluttony as his Ability in the same episode. | |||
===In the {{series|XY}}=== | |||
[[Clemont's Chespin]] used its Ability {{a|Overgrow}} in ''[[XY015|An Appetite for Battle!]]'' battling against a {{p|Delphox}}. | |||
In ''[[SS029|Mega Evolution Special I]]'', [[Siebold]]'s {{me|Blastoise}} was shown to have {{a|Mega Launcher}}. | |||

[[Olympia]]'s two {{p|Meowstic}} were seen using their respective Abilities in ''[[XY092|All Eyes on the Future!]]'', with the male Meowstic having its Hidden Ability {{a|Prankster}} and the female one having {{a|Keen Eye}}. | |||
Two Abilities were seen in ''[[SS035|Mega Evolution Special IV]]'', both in battle against [[Alain's Charizard]]. A {{me|Venusaur}} used {{a|Thick Fat}} to half the damage it took from a {{m|Flamethrower}}. [[Malva]]'s {{p|Houndoom}} later used {{a|Flash Fire}} to absorb another Flamethrower. | |||
==In the TCG== | |||
Abilities under the name of Abilities did not appear in the {{pkmn|Trading Card Game}} until the {{TCG|Black & White}} expansion kicking off [[Generation V]]. However, this was merely a renaming of the longstanding [[Pokémon Power]]s. Pokémon Powers were very similar to Abilities, but were introduced much earlier, appearing in the very first {{TCG|Base Set}} during [[Generation I]]. In fact, some Abilities from the games originally appeared as Pokémon Powers. | |||
With the introduction of the {{TCG|Expedition Base Set}}, Pokémon Powers were split into two groups: Poké-Powers and Poké-Bodies. Poké-Powers are special effects that the player must trigger or announce using. A Poké-Body's effect is a passive Ability that is always in effect. When Pokémon Powers became Abilities, these distinctions were done away with. | |||

{{tc|Rich Boy|Dol}}'s {{p|Bouffalant}} activated {{a|Sap Sipper}} in ''[[PBW4|Challenge the Battle Subway!]]''. | |||

===={{chap|Ruby & Sapphire}}==== | |||
[[File:Brawly Makuhita Thick Fat Adventures.png|thumb|200px|[[Brawly's Makuhita]] activating {{a|Thick Fat}} in Pokémon Adventures]] | |||
Parallel to their introduction in [[Generation III]] of the video games, Abilities were first introduced in the ''Ruby & Sapphire'' chapter of [[Pokémon Adventures]]. | |||
During {{adv|Sapphire}}'s battle with [[Roxanne]] in ''[[PS190|Blowing Past Nosepass I]]'', [[Roxanne's Nosepass]] proved superior to [[Rono]]. Worried that Rono would be defeated, {{adv|Sapphire}} attempted to switch Rono out for [[Chic]] but was unable to. Roxanne explained that because her {{p|Nosepass}} has {{a|Magnet Pull}}, {{t|Steel}}-type Pokémon cannot switch out. However, Sapphire figured out in [[PS191|the next round]] that she could use this to her advantage because Nosepass's magnetic attunement causes it to automatically face north when idle. While Roxanne was bragging about her impending victory, Nosepass let its guard down, allowing Rono to sneak up behind it from the south and land a devastating hit that caused Nosepass to faint. | |||
{{adv|Ruby}}'s first encounter with Abilities arrived in ''[[PS193|Stick This in Your Craw, Crawdaunt II]]'' when he and [[Mr. Briney]] were attacked by a wild {{p|Crawdaunt}}. [[Peeko]] tried to defeat it with {{m|Quick Attack}}, but the Crawdaunt's {{a|Shell Armor}} prevented it from doing much damage at all. After Mr. Briney fell unconscious, Ruby had [[Kiki]] use {{m|Double-Edge}} and infatuate Crawdaunt with its Ability {{a|Cute Charm}}. | |||

After [[Wattson]] is captured by the [[New Mauville]] generator, Sapphire devised a double battle strategy using his {{TP|Wattson|Electrike}} in ''[[PS205|Plugging Past Electrike II]]''. While Electrike did not have the moves to defeat the generator itself, and the wild {{p|Donphan}} that Wattson and the [[Trick Master]] had originally intended to capture would be quickly eradicated by its powerful attacks, Electrike's Ability {{a|Lightning Rod}} would allow it to redirect the bolt away from Donphan, buying Donphan enough time to destroy the generator with {{m|Rollout}}. | |||
