Pressure (Ability): Difference between revisions

|text3=Raises the foe's PP usage.

'''Pressure''' (Japanese: '''プレッシャー''' ''Pressure'') is an [[Ability]] introduced in [[Generation III]]. Twenty-five Pokémon can have this Ability, a majority of them {{pkmn2|legendary}}.

Pressure increases foes' PP usage by one for moves targeting the Pokémon with Pressure. Consequently, extra PP is deducted even if the foe's move misses, has multiple targets, or is rendered ineffective due to immunity.

In Generation IV, Pressure also affects ally Pokémon in a Double Battle when using moves such as {{m|Earthquake}}, {{m|Surf}}, {{m|Lava Plume}}, {{m|Discharge}} or any other move which affect all Pokémon engaged in battle. However, this does not happen in Generation V.

As of Generation IV, one is alerted to the presence of Pressure by the message "'''<name> is exerting its Pressure!'''"

This ability isn't affected by {{a|Teravolt}} and {{a|Turboblaze}}.

From {{game|Emerald}} onwards, if a Pokémon with Pressure is leading the [[party]], then Pressure increases the chance of battling a higher-leveled wild Pokémon by 50%. See also {{a|Hustle}} and {{a|Vital Spirit}}.

* {{p|Wailmer}} and {{p|Pawniard}} are the only non-evolved nor fully evolved Pokémon that have Pressure as their Abilities, and both can only have this ability when obtained from the [[Dream World]].
