Suction Cups (Japanese: きゅうばん Suction Cups) is an Ability introduced in Generation III.
Effect
This Ability prevents the opponent from forcing a switch—or in the wild, ending the battle—with the moves Roar, Whirlwind, Dragon Tail or Circle Throw, or by activating a Red Card.
Outside of battle
From Pokémon Emerald onwards, if a Pokémon with Suction Cups is in first place in the player's party (even if fainted), bites will occur more often while fishing. Sticky Hold has the same effect.
