Abilities that draw attacks to the user, such as {{a|Lightning Rod}} and {{a|Storm Drain}}, no longer divert attacks from a Pokémon with Mold Breaker. | |||
When a Pokémon with Mold Breaker uses a move, even the effects of allies' Abilities (notably {{a|Flower Gift}}, {{a|Sweet Veil}}, {{a|Aroma Veil}} and {{a|Flower Veil}}) are ignored for the duration of that move. As such, if the move of a Pokémon with Mold Breaker triggers an Ability (such as {{a|Gooey}} or {{a|Cursed Body}}) or item (such as [[Destiny Knot]]), the Pokémon with Mold Breaker will not be protected by its allies' Abilities; likewise, if a Destiny Knot held by a Pokémon with Mold Breaker is activated during the use of its own move (such as in response to the target's {{a|Cute Charm}}), that target will not be protected by its allies' Aroma Veil. This also means that a Pokémon with Mold Breaker will not gain {{stat|Attack}} due to an ally's Flower Gift. | |||
