Effect

In battle

Main article: Ignoring Abilities

When a Pokémon with Teravolt uses a move, the effects of all Pokémon's ignorable Abilities are ignored for the execution of that move. (Ignorable Abilities are most Abilities that could potentially negatively affect the success, damage, or effects of a move if possessed by the target of a move or its allies.) For example, a Pokémon with Teravolt that uses Thunder can hit opponents that have Lightning Rod.

When a Pokémon with Teravolt is brought out, the message "<name> is radiating a bursting aura!" will be displayed.

Generation VIII onward

Teravolt no longer ignores Dark Aura and Fairy Aura, though it will still ignore Aura Break.

Outside of battle

Teravolt has no effect outside of battle.
