Wonder Skin (Japanese: ミラクルスキン Miracle Skin) is an Ability introduced in Generation V. Four Pokémon can have this Ability.

Effect

In battle

Wonder Skin reduces the chance of the user receiving a status ailment from an opponent's status move by half. It does not affect moves that inflict status ailments as a secondary effect (e.g. Thunder's chance to paralyze), nor does it affect moves that lower an opponent's in-battle stats (such as Growl lowering the opponents' Attack).

Outside of battle

Wonder Skin has no effect outside of battle.
