Mold Breaker (Ability): Difference between revisions

→‎Effect: Mold Breaker has always ignored Lightning Rod and Storm Drain fully (also, their only effect in Gen 4 was redirection, so it wouldn't make sense to list them as being ignorable that gen otherwise)
(Undo revision 3118914 by Sumwun (talk)It ignores all Pokémon's ignorable Abilities, not just the targets. Allies' Flower Gift, the target's allies' Sweet Veil, etc. are all ignored.)

* 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 will activate immediately after being inflicted with the status condition, even if it was inflicted by a Pokémon with Mold Breaker.

If a Pokémon with Mold Breaker forces a Pokémon to switch in with a move like {{m|Roar}} or {{m|Dragon Tail}}, ignorable Abilities are ignored when applying [[entry hazard]]s. For example, Pokémon with {{a|Levitate}} will be affected by {{m|Spikes}} and {{m|Toxic Spikes}} (unless it is also [[grounded|ungrounded]] for other reasons); if a {{type|Poison}} Pokémon with Levitate is switched in this way, it will remove Toxic Spikes from its side of the field (unless it is also ungrounded for other reasons).

Abilities that draw attacks to the user, such as {{a|Lightning Rod}} and {{a|Storm Drain}}, no longer divert attacks from a Pokémon with Mold Breaker.


When a Pokémon with Mold Breaker uses a move, even the effects of allies' Abilities (notably {{a|Flower Gift}}, {{a|Sweet Veil}}, {{a|Aroma Veil}} and {{a|Flower Veil}}) are ignored for the duration of that move. As such, if the move of a Pokémon with Mold Breaker triggers an Ability (such as {{a|Gooey}} or {{a|Cursed Body}}) or item (such as [[Destiny Knot]]), the Pokémon with Mold Breaker will not be protected by its allies' Abilities; likewise, if a Destiny Knot held by a Pokémon with Mold Breaker is activated during the use of its own move (such as in response to the target's {{a|Cute Charm}}), that target will not be protected by its allies' Aroma Veil. This also means that a Pokémon with Mold Breaker will not gain {{stat|Attack}} due to an ally's Flower Gift.
