Anticipation causes the Pokémon to "shudder" | When a Pokémon with Anticipation enters the battle or a Pokémon gains the Ability Anticipation, it causes the Pokémon to "shudder" if any opponent has a damaging move that is super-effective against the Pokémon with Anticipation, a [[one-hit knockout move]], or {{m|Selfdestruct}} or {{m|Explosion}}. | ||
{{m|Hidden Power}}, {{m|Judgment}}, {{m|Weather Ball}}, and {{m|Natural Gift}} are treated as {{type|Normal}} moves. {{m|Counter}}, {{m|Metal Burst}}, and {{m|Mirror Coat}} do not trigger Anticipation. | |||
====Generation V==== | ====Generation V onward==== | ||
The moves Selfdestruct and Explosion no longer trigger Anticipation | The moves Selfdestruct and Explosion no longer trigger Anticipation by default (although they can still trigger it in [[Inverse Battle]]s, if the Pokémon is weak to Normal-type moves). | ||
{{m|Counter}}, {{m|Metal Burst}}, and {{m|Mirror Coat}} are counted as attacking moves of their types, so can trigger Anticipation. {{m|Techno Blast}} is treated as a Normal-type move. | |||
