 Teravolt ignores the effects of {{Abilities}} that could potentially affect the damage or effects of a move that its user executes. For example, a Pokémon with Teravolt can hit opponents that possess {{a|Levitate}} by using {{m|Earthquake}}. Teravolt applies regardless of target Pokémon, but only to moves executed by its user (so if two Pokémon in a [[Double Battle]] both know Earthquake, only the Pokémon with Teravolt can hit a Pokémon with Levitate).
-Unlike {{m|Gastro Acid}}, which completely negates a target's Ability, the opponents' Abilities otherwise remain in effect:
+Teravolt ignores all ignorable Abilities, not only the targets'—including the user's allies'. For example, if a Pokémon with Teravolt 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 Teravolt uses {{m|Thunderbolt}} targeting an opponent while its own ally has {{a|Lightning Rod}}, it will still use the move on its original target. This also means that a Pokémon with Teravolt will not gain {{stat|Attack}} due to an ally's {{a|Flower Gift}}.
-* 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 are not negated by Teravolt.
-* If a Pokémon with {{a|Own Tempo}} consumes a held {{cat|Berries that may cause confusion|Berry that may cause confusion}} in response to the move of a Pokémon with Teravolt, it will become confused if it dislikes the [[flavor]] (although Own Tempo will then activate and cure it of confusion).
-Teravolt can ignore the Abilities of Pokémon other than the target; for example, if a Pokémon with Teravolt uses {{m|Thunder Wave}} on a {{type|Grass}} Pokémon whose ally has {{a|Flower Veil}}, the target will still be {{status|paralysis|paralyzed}}.
+The Abilities are only ignored while the move is being executed. They take effect again immediately after its execution.
+* 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 Teravolt.
+* If a Pokémon with {{a|Own Tempo}} consumes a held {{cat|Berries that may cause confusion|Berry that may cause confusion}} in response to the move of a Pokémon with Teravolt, it will become confused if it dislikes the [[flavor]]. However, Own Tempo will then activate and cure it of confusion.
-When a Pokémon with Teravolt 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 Teravolt triggers an Ability (such as {{a|Gooey}} or {{a|Cursed Body}}) or item (such as [[Destiny Knot]]), the Pokémon with Teravolt will not be protected by its allies' Abilities; likewise, if a Destiny Knot held by a Pokémon with Teravolt 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 Teravolt will not gain {{stat|Attack}} due to an ally's Flower Gift.
+If a Pokémon with Teravolt 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 Teravolt forces a Pokémon to switch in with a move like {{m|Roar}} or {{m|Dragon Tail}}, Abilities that affect [[entry hazard]]s will be ignored if possible; if forced to switch in this way:
-* Pokémon with {{a|Levitate}} will be affected by {{m|Spikes}} and {{m|Toxic Spikes}}, unless they are {{type|Flying}} or holding an [[Air Balloon]].
-** {{type|Poison}} Pokémon with Levitate can remove Toxic Spikes, if they are not Flying-type and not holding an Air Balloon.
-* Pokémon with {{a|Immunity}} will be {{status|poison}}ed by Toxic Spikes (although Immunity will then activate and cure them of poison).
-* Pokémon with {{a|Leaf Guard}} will be {{status|poison}}ed by Toxic Spikes even during [[harsh sunlight]].
-* Pokémon with {{a|Simple}}, {{a|Contrary}}, {{a|Clear Body}} or {{a|White Smoke}} will have their {{stat|Speed}} lowered one stage by {{m|Sticky Web}}.
-* {{type|Grass}} Pokémon that have or have an ally with {{a|Flower Veil}} will be poisoned by Toxic Spikes, and will have their Speed lowered one stage by Sticky Web.
-From Generation VI onward, a Pokémon with {{a|Overcoat}} will be affected by {{cat|powder and spore moves}} as well.
 When a Pokémon with Teravolt is brought out, the message "'''<name> is radiating a bursting aura!'''" will be displayed.
