When a Pokémon with Teravolt is brought out, the message "'''<name> is radiating a bursting aura!'''" will be displayed.  
Teravolt ignores the effects of {{Abilities}} that could potentially affect the damage or effects of a move that its user executes. For example, a Pokémon with Teravolt can hit opponents that possess {{a|Levitate}} by using {{m|Earthquake}}. Teravolt applies regardless of target Pokémon, but only to moves executed by its user (so if two Pokemon in a [[Double Battle]] both know Earthquake, only the Pokémon with Teravolt can hit a Pokémon with Levitate).


Teravolt negates the effects of {{Abilities}} that weaken or negate moves or the side-effects of moves.
Unlike {{m|Gastro Acid}}, which completely negates a target's Ability, the opponents' Abilities otherwise remain in effect:
* Abilities that prevent status conditions (such as {{a|Immunity}} and {{a|Oblivious}}) will not protect the Pokémon from receiving the status condition; however, many of these Abilities also have effects to cure the Pokémon of the status condition if afflicted, which are not negated by Teravolt.
* Abilities that draw attacks to the user, such as {{a|Lightning Rod}} and {{a|Storm Drain}}, will still divert attacks regardless of Teravolt, but will not nullify the damage or boost the Pokémon's stats.


The following are the Abilities that Teravolt ignores.
Teravolt can ignore the Abilities of Pokémon other than the target; for example, if a Pokémon with Teravolt uses {{m|Thunder Wave}} on a {{type|Grass}} Pokémon whose ally has {{a|Flower Veil}}, the target will still be {{status|paralysis|paralyzed}}.
 
If a Pokémon with Teravolt forces a Pokémon to switch in with a move like {{m|Roar}} or {{m|Dragon Tail}}, immunities to [[entry hazard]]s due to Abilities will be negated (except {{a|Magic Guard}}). If forced to switch in this way:
* Pokémon with {{a|Levitate}} will be affected by {{m|Spikes}} and {{m|Toxic Spikes}}, unless they are {{type|Flying}} or holding an [[Air Balloon]].
** {{type|Poison}} Pokémon with Levitate can remove Toxic Spikes, if they are not Flying-type and not holding an Air Balloon.
* Pokémon with {{a|Immunity}} will be {{status|poison}}ed by Toxic Spikes (although Immunity will then activate and cure them of poison).
* Pokémon with {{a|Leaf Guard}} will be {{status|poison}}ed by Toxic Spikes even during [[harsh sunlight]].
* Pokémon with {{a|Clear Body}} or {{a|White Smoke}} will have their {{stat|Speed}} lowered by {{m|Sticky Web}}.
* {{type|Grass}} Pokémon that have or have an ally with {{a|Flower Veil}} will be poisoned by Toxic Spikes, and will have their Speed lowered by Sticky Web.
 
In Generation VI, a Pokémon with {{a|Overcoat}} will be affected by {{cat|powder and spore moves}} as well.
 
When a Pokémon with Teravolt is brought out, the message "'''<name> is radiating a bursting aura!'''" will be displayed.
 
===Abilities affected===
Teravolt ignores the following Abilities, even in situations where the Ability could increase the power of a move (such as using {{m|Low Kick}} on a Pokemon with {{a|Heavy Metal}} or using a {{type|Fire}} move on a Pokémon with {{a|Dry Skin}}):
