'''Illuminate''' (Japanese: '''はっこう''' ''Luminescence'') is an [[Ability]] introduced in [[Generation III]].


==Effect==
==Effect==
===In battle===
===Generations III to VIII===
====In battle====
Illuminate has no effect during battle.
Illuminate has no effect during battle.


In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]] and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 2|the sequel]], a Pokémon with Illuminate "blinks" after a turn in which it was damaged. The "blink" summons a hostile Pokémon somewhere on the floor.
====Outside of battle====
If a Pokémon with Illuminate is in the first place in the [[party]] (even if [[fainting|fainted]]), the wild Pokémon encounter rate increases by 100%. It shares this trait with {{a|Arena Trap}} and {{a|No Guard}}.
=====Generation VIII=====
In {{g|Sword and Shield}}, this Ability only affects the rate at which [[random encounter]]s happen.
===Generation IX===
====In battle====
Starting in Version 2.0.1 of {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, Illuminate prevents other Pokémon from lowering the {{stat|accuracy}} stat stage of the Pokémon with this Ability, and also ignores the target's {{stat|evasion}} stages.
 
Effects that decrease accuracy without using stat stages, such as {{a|Wonder Skin}} and {{a|Sand Veil}}, are unaffected by Illuminate.
 
This Ability can be ignored with {{a|Mold Breaker}}.


===Outside of battle===
Prior to version 2.0.1 of {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, Illuminate had no effect in battle, even after its text update in version 1.3.2. However, this inconsistency could not be seen in-game as no Pokémon with Illuminate had been available in Scarlet and Violet at the time.
Illuminate causes the wild Pokémon encounter rate to increase. See also {{a|Arena Trap}}.
 
====Outside of battle====
Illuminate appears to have no effect on the encounter rate of wild Pokémon.

==In other games==
==={{g|Mystery Dungeon series}}===
Prior to {{g|Super Mystery Dungeon}}, a Pokémon with Illuminate "blinks" after a turn in which it was damaged. The "blink" summons a hostile Pokémon somewhere on the floor.
 
In {{g|Super Mystery Dungeon}}, the Pokémon obtains the Decoy [[Status condition (Mystery Dungeon)|status]] after using an illuminating move. The Decoy status makes enemies preferentially attack the Pokémon instead of other allies.
 
====Affected moves====
The table below lists the moves affected by Illuminate, as well as the Pokémon that can have Illuminate and learn those moves.
