All other Pokémon's single-target [Electric]{type}-type moves will hit this Pokémon, including its ally's, ignoring target and [accuracy]{mechanic}. This Pokémon is immune to Electric moves, and its [Special Attack]{mechanic} rises one [stage]{mechanic:stat modifier} upon being hit by one. [Ground]{type}-type Pokémon's Electric immunity takes precedence over this ability, preventing the Special Attack boost. [Hidden Power]{move} and multiple-target moves, i.e. [Discharge]{move}, cannot be redirected. [Follow Me]{move} takes precedence over this ability. Protects against opponent-inflicted stat drops.

An effect chance is a move's chance to inflict a [status ailment]{mechanic}, cause a [stat change]{mechanic:stat modifier}, or make the target [flinch]{mechanic:flinching} in addition to the move's main effect. For example, [Flamethrower]{move}'s chance of [burning]{mechanic:burn} the target is doubled, but [Protect]{move}'s chance of success and [Air Cutter]{move}'s increased [critical hit]{mechanic} rate are unaffected. Cures any [major status ailment]{mechanic} upon leaving battle. Doubles the chance of moves' extra effects occurring.

56 53 55 Pickup Hustle 3 After each battle, this Pokémon has a 10% chance of picking up an item if it is not already holding one.

This ability is checked after the battle ends, at which point any temporary ability changes have worn off.

57 54 56 Truant Cute Charm 3 Every second turn on which this Pokémon should attempt to use a move, it will instead do nothing ("loaf around"). Loafing around interrupts moves that take multiple turns the same way [paralysis]{mechanic}, [flinching]{mechanic}, etc do. Most such moves, for example [Bide]{move} or [Rollout]{move}, are simply cut off upon loafing around. Attacks with a recharge turn, such as [Hyper Beam]{move}, do not have to recharge; attacks with a preparation turn, such as [Fly]{move}, do not end up being used. Moves that are forced over multiple turns and keep going through failure, such as [Outrage]{move}, [Uproar]{move}, or any move forced by [Encore]{move}, keep going as usual. If this Pokémon is [confused]{mechanic:confusion}, its confusion is not checked when loafing around; the Pokémon cannot hurt itself, and its confusion does not end or come closer to ending. If this Pokémon attempts to move but fails, e.g. because of [paralysis]{mechanic} or [Gravity]{move}, it still counts as having moved and will loaf around the next turn. If it does not attempt to move, e.g. because it is [asleep]{mechanic:sleep} or [frozen]{mechanic:freezing}, whatever it would have done will be postponed until its next attempt; that is, it will either loaf around or move as usual, depending on what it last did. This ability cannot be changed with [Worry Seed]{move}, but it can be disabled with [Gastro Acid]{move}, changed with [Role Play]{move}, or traded away with [Skill Swap]{move}. Whenever a move makes contact with this Pokémon, the move's user has a 30% chance of being [infatuated]{mechanic:infatuation}.

This ability has no effect for any Pokémon other than [Castform]{pokemon}. If the [weather]{mechanic} ends or becomes anything that does not trigger this ability, or a Pokémon with [Air Lock]{ability} or [Cloud Nine]{ability} enters battle, this Pokémon's type and form revert to their default. If this ability is lost or disabled, this Pokémon cannot change its current type and form until it regains its ability. Changes [Castform]{pokemon}'s type and form to match the [weather]{mechanic}.

Overworld: If the lead Pokémon has this ability, any wild Pokémon whose species can be either gender has an increased chance of being the opposite gender. This Pokémon's hold item cannot be removed by other Pokémon. Damaging moves that would remove this Pokémon's item can still inflict damage against this Pokémon, e.g. [Knock Off]{move} or [Pluck]{move}.
