Sheer Force (Ability): Difference between revisions

Sheer Force raises the base power of all attacking moves that have an [[additional effect]] by 30%, but the additional effects are ignored.

Sheer Force does not negate primary effects such as [[recoil]], stat penalty or status condition for the user, increased critical hit rate, moves that never miss, moves that change power, two-turn moves, etc. Sheer Force will, however, negate all secondary effects, such as reducing the target's stats, increasing the user's stats, or causing a status condition to the target. Moves that have both a primary and secondary effect will have only their secondary effect negated (and gain the power boost). For example, {{m|Flare Blitz}} has both a primary recoil effect and a secondary chance to burn; its damage will be boosted by 30% (but not cause burn) and still inflict recoil to the user after attacking.

If (and only if) a move is boosted by the effect of Sheer Force, it will no longer trigger item or Ability effects that activate ''after attacking''. This includes the effects of {{DL|In-battle effect item|Eject Button}}, {{DL|In-battle effect item|Shell Bell}}, and {{DL|In-battle effect item|Red Card}}, as well as the Abilities {{a|Color Change}} and {{a|Emergency Exit}}. If an item has two effects, only the effect(s) that activate after attacking will be negated. Therefore, if a Pokémon holds a {{DL|In-battle effect item|Life Orb}}, it will gain the passive damage boost (because it is not activated after the attack) but the recoil effect afterward will be ignored.

Although the following moves are affected by the Ability, they currently cannot be learned by any Pokémon with Sheer Force. They may, however, be called via {{m|Metronome}}, {{m|Mirror Move}}, {{m|Copycat}}, or {{m|Mimic}}, or be used by a Pokémon that gained Serene Grace by {{a|Trace}} or a move such as {{m|Skill Swap}} or {{m|Role Play}}.
