Swoobat

Courting Pokémon ^#528

Emitting powerful sound waves tires it out. Afterward, it won’t be able to fly for a little while.

The auspicious shape of this Pokémon’s nose apparently led some regions to consider Swoobat a symbol of good luck.

- Unaware
  This Pokémon ignores other Pokémon's stat modifiers for the purposes of damage and accuracy calculation. Effectively, this affects modifiers of every stat except Speed. The power of punishment and stored power is calculated as usual. When this Pokémon hurts itself in confusion, its stat modifiers affect damage as usual.
- Klutz
  In battle, this Pokémon cannot use its held item, nor will the item have any passive effect on the battle, positive or negative. This Pokémon also cannot use fling. The Speed cut from the iron ball and the effort items (the macho brace, power weight, power bracer, power belt, power lens, power band, and power anklet) is unaffected. Items that do not directly affect the battle, such as the exp share, the amulet coin, or the soothe bell, work as usual. All held items work as usual out of battle. Other moves that use the held item, such as natural gift and switcheroo, work as usual.

- Simple
  Each stage of this Pokémon's stat modifiers acts as two stages. These doubled stages are still limited to a minimum of -6 and a maximum of 6. This Pokémon can still accumulate less than -3 or more than 3 stages of stat modifiers, even though the extra ones have no effect after doubling.

Anyone who comes into contact with the ultrasonic waves emitted by a courting male experiences a positive mood shift.
