'''Levitate''' (Japanese: '''ふゆう''' ''Floating'') is an [[Ability]] introduced in [[Generation III]]. Thirty-three {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} can have this Ability.

Levitate renders the user immune to {{type|Ground}} moves (except {{m|Sand-Attack}}), {{m|Spikes}}, {{m|Toxic Spikes}}, {{a|Arena Trap}}, and damage from {{m|Sky Drop}}. These immunities can be lost if holding an {{DL|In-battle effect item|Iron Ball}}, or the Pokémon is under the effects of {{m|Smack Down}}, {{m|Gravity}}, or {{m|Ingrain}}.

*Many non-{{type|Flying}} Pokémon that have been seen to be capable of floating or flying, such as {{p|Beedrill}}, cannot have this Ability. 

**{{p|Shedinja}} also cannot have this Ability, but its {{a|Wonder Guard}} Ability gives it immunity to Ground-type moves. However, Shedinja is still affected by the effects of Arena Trap, {{m|Spikes}}, and {{m|Toxic Spikes}}.

* Despite the fact that its [[Generation IV]] and [[Generation V]] descriptions state that Levitate gives immunity to all {{type|Ground}} moves, Pokémon with Levitate are affected by {{m|Sand-Attack}}.

* [[Form differences#Rotom|Fan]] {{p|Rotom}} is the only Pokémon with this Ability to be naturally immune to {{type|Ground}} moves due to being {{type|Flying}} in Generation V and onward.

* {{p|Bronzor}} and {{p|Bronzong}} are the only Pokémon that can naturally have this Ability that also have {{a|Heatproof|a secondary Ability}}. In addition, they are the only ones that have {{a|Heavy Metal|a Hidden Ability}} as well.

* {{p|Gengar}}, {{p|Vibrava}}, {{p|Eelektrik}}, and {{p|Eelektross}}, despite having this Ability, land on the ground when sent out of their Poké Balls. All others with this Ability float without touching the ground.
