'''Mold Breaker''' (Japanese: '''かたやぶり''' ''Mold-Breaking'') is an [[Ability]] introduced in [[Generation IV]].

{{main|Ignoring Abilities}}
When a Pokémon with Mold Breaker is brought out, the message "'''<name> has Mold Breaker!'''" will be displayed.
When a Pokémon with Mold Breaker uses a move, the effects of all Pokémon's {{DL|Ignoring Abilities|ignorable Abilities}} are ignored for the execution of that move. (Ignorable Abilities are most Abilities that could potentially negatively affect the success, damage, or effects of a move if possessed by the target of a move or its allies.) For example, a Pokémon with Mold Breaker that uses {{m|Earthquake}} can hit opponents that have {{a|Levitate}}.


Mold Breaker negates the effects of {{Abilities}} that could ''potentially'' weaken or negate moves or the side-effects of moves that the Mold Breaker Pokémon use (Mold Breaker will allow the user's {{m|Earthquake}} to hit a Pokémon with {{a|Levitate}}, but has no effect on the player's ally's Earthquake). However, it also applies to moves that hit all Pokémon in Double and Triple Battles (for example, a Pokémon with Mold Breaker that uses Earthquake could hit its ally that has Levitate).
In Generation IV, when a Pokémon with Mold Breaker is brought out, the message "'''<name> has Mold Breaker!'''" is displayed. From Generation V onward, when a Pokémon with Mold Breaker is brought out, the message "'''<name> breaks the mold!'''" is displayed.


Mold Breaker nullifies the following Abilities (even if they would end up boosting the power of the Mold Breaker Pokémon's move): {{a|Battle Armor}}, {{a|Clear Body}}, {{a|Damp}}, {{a|Dry Skin}}, {{a|Filter}}, {{a|Flash Fire}}, {{a|Flower Gift}}, {{a|Heatproof}}, {{a|Hyper Cutter}}, {{a|Immunity}}, {{a|Inner Focus}}, {{a|Insomnia}}, {{a|Keen Eye}}, {{a|Leaf Guard}}, {{a|Levitate}}, {{a|Lightningrod}}, {{a|Limber}}, {{a|Magma Armor}}, {{a|Marvel Scale}}, {{a|Motor Drive}}, {{a|Oblivious}}, {{a|Own Tempo}}, {{a|Sand Veil}}, {{a|Shell Armor}}, {{a|Shield Dust}}, {{a|Simple}}, {{a|Snow Cloak}}, {{a|Solid Rock}}, {{a|Soundproof}}, {{a|Sticky Hold}}, {{a|Storm Drain}}, {{a|Sturdy}}, {{a|Suction Cups}}, {{a|Tangled Feet}}, {{a|Thick Fat}}, {{a|Unaware}}, {{a|Vital Spirit}}, {{a|Volt Absorb}}, {{a|Water Absorb}}, {{a|Water Veil}}, {{a|White Smoke}}, and {{a|Wonder Guard}}.
====Generation IV====
{{a|Flower Gift}} will increase the {{stat|Attack}} of allies with Mold Breaker, even when they are attacking the ally with Flower Gift.


Mold Breaker only negates these Abilities in the event they weaken or negate moves; they are active in any other instance. While Mold Breaker allows a Pokémon to bypass the effects of moves that prevent status (i.e. Immunity, Insomnia, Limber, Own Tempo, and Vital Spirit, but not Leaf Guard), the status the Pokémon's move inflicts will be cured instantly after the attack. Lightningrod and Storm Drain still divert attacks in double or triple battles, but will not prevent attacks when they land (and will not make any Electric- or Water-type attacks hit with 100% accuracy, respectively).
====Generation V onward====
If a Pokémon with Mold Breaker forces a Pokémon to switch in by using a {{cat|Moves that switch the target out|move that switches the target out}} (such as {{m|Roar}} or {{m|Dragon Tail}}), ignorable Abilities are ignored when applying [[entry hazard]]s. For example, a Pokémon with {{a|Levitate}} switched in this way will be affected by {{m|Spikes}} and {{m|Toxic Spikes}} (unless it is also [[grounded|ungrounded]] for other reasons); if a {{type|Poison}} Pokémon with Levitate is switched in this way, it will remove Toxic Spikes from its side of the field (unless it is also ungrounded for other reasons).


====Generation V====
If a Pokémon with Mold Breaker attacks, it does not gain {{stat|Attack}} due to an ally's Flower Gift.
When a Pokémon with Mold Breaker is brought out, the message "'''<name> breaks the mold!'''" will be displayed.


Mold Breaker nullifies the same Abilities as in Generation IV, as well as the following Abilities (even if they would end up boosting the power of the Mold Breaker Pokémon's move): {{a|Big Pecks}}, {{a|Contrary}}, {{a|Friend Guard}}, {{a|Heavy Metal}}, {{a|Light Metal}}, {{a|Magic Bounce}}, {{a|Multiscale}}, {{a|Sap Sipper}}, {{a|Telepathy}}, and {{a|Wonder Skin}}.
====Generation VIII onward====
Mold Breaker no longer ignores {{a|Dark Aura}} and {{a|Fairy Aura}}, though it will still ignore Aura Break.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
* [[Roark's Rampardos]]'s Mold Breaker stopped [[Ash's Pikachu]]'s {{a|Static}}, even though Static is not affected by Mold Breaker in the games.
* In the {{pkmn|anime}}, [[Roark's Rampardos]]'s Mold Breaker prevented [[Ash's Pikachu]] and [[Paul's Elekid]]'s {{a|Static}} from inflicting it with {{status|paralysis}}, despite the fact that Static is not affected by Mold Breaker in the games.
* Three-quarters of the Pokemon (9/12) with this Ability were introduced in Generation V
