Mold Breaker ignores all | Mold Breaker ignores all ignorable Abilities, not only the targets'—including the user's allies'. For example, if a Pokémon with Mold Breaker uses {{m|Spore}} on a Pokémon whose ally has {{a|Sweet Veil}}, the target will still fall {{status|sleep|asleep}}. Likewise, if a Pokémon with Mold Breaker uses {{m|Thunderbolt}} targeting an opponent while its own ally has {{a|Lightning Rod}}, it will still use the move on its original target. | ||

If a Pokémon with Mold Breaker forces a Pokémon to switch in | If a Pokémon with Mold Breaker forces a Pokémon to switch in by using a {{cat|Moves that switch the target out|move that switches the target out}} (such as {{m|Roar}} or {{m|Dragon Tail}}), ignorable Abilities are ignored when applying [[entry hazard]]s. For example, a Pokémon with {{a|Levitate}} switched in this way 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). | ||
If a Pokémon with Mold Breaker attacks, it does not gain {{stat|Attack}} due to an ally's Flower Gift. | |||
