Flower Gift (Ability)

Flower Gift (Japanese: フラワーギフト Flower Gift) is an Ability introduced in Generation IV. It is the signature Ability of Cherrim.

Effect

In battle

Generation IV

During harsh sunlight, Flower Gift increases the Attack and Special Defense stats of the Pokémon with this Ability and its allies by 1.5×.

Flower Gift is not responsible for changing Cherrim from Overcast Form into Sunshine Form.

Flower Gift can be copied by Trace or Role Play.

Generation V onward

Along with its previous effect, Flower Gift now changes Cherrim from Overcast Form to Sunshine Form during harsh sunlight. If Cherrim loses Flower Gift or Flower Gift is suppressed (such as by Gastro Acid), it will revert to its Overcast Form.

Role Play fails if the target has the Ability Flower Gift. Entrainment fails if the user has the Ability Flower Gift. Flower Gift cannot be copied by Trace, Power of Alchemy, or Receiver.

Generation VIII onward

A Dynamaxed Cherrim in Sunshine Form who has its ability changed by an effect such as Worry Seed will remain in Sunshine Form for the duration of the battle, even once the Dynamax expires.

Outside of battle

Flower Gift has no effect outside of battle.
