Mold Breaker ignores the effects of {{Abilities}} that could ''potentially'' weaken or negate moves (or side-effects of moves) that its user executes; for example, a Pokémon with Mold Breaker can use {{m|Earthquake}} against opponents that posess {{a|Levitate}}. Mold Breaker 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 Mold Breaker can hit a Levitating opponent). | |||

Unlike {{m|Gastro Acid}}, which completely negates a target's Ability, the opponents' Abilities otherwise remain in effect: Abilities that protect against [[status ailment]]s ({{a|Immunity}}, {{a|Insomnia}}, etc.) will not protect the Pokémon from receiving the status ailment, but (with the exception of {{a|Leaf Guard}}) will immediately cure it of the status inflicted. Abilities that draw attacks to the user, such as {{a|Lightningrod}} and {{a|Storm Drain}}, will still divert attacks in double or triple battles regardless of Mold Breaker, but will not prevent the attacks from landing (or landing with 100% accuracy) or infliting damage on the Pokémon. | Unlike {{m|Gastro Acid}}, which completely negates a target's Ability, the opponents' Abilities otherwise remain in effect: Abilities that protect against [[status ailment]]s ({{a|Immunity}}, {{a|Insomnia}}, etc.) will not protect the Pokémon from receiving the status ailment, but (with the exception of {{a|Leaf Guard}}) will immediately cure it of the status inflicted.

In Generation IV, when a Pokémon with Mold Breaker is brought out, the message "'''<name> has Mold Breaker!'''" is displayed. In Generation V onwards, when a Pokémon with Mold Breaker is brought out, the message "'''<name> breaks the mold!'''" is displayed. | |||
