Abilities

When this Pokemon enters battle, the opponent's Attack is lowered by one stage. In a double battle, both opponents are affected. This ability also takes effect when acquired during a battle, but will not take effect again if lost and reobtained without leaving battle. This ability has no effect on an opponent that has a substitute. Overworld: If the first Pokemon in the party has this ability, any random encounter with a Pokemon five or more levels lower than it has a 50% chance of being skipped.

Whenever this Pokemon has a major status ailment, it has 1.5× its Speed. This Pokemon is not affected by the usual Speed cut from paralysis. Overworld: If the lead Pokemon has this ability, the wild encounter rate is halved.
