2625Wonder Guard3This Pokémon is immune to damaging moves that are not [super effective]{mechanic} against it.

2827Effect Spore3Whenever a move makes contact with this Pokémon, the move's user has a 30% chance of being [paralyzed]{mechanic:paralysis}, [poisoned]{mechanic:poison}, or put to [sleep]{mechanic}, chosen at random. Nothing is done to compensate if the move's user is immune to one of these ailments; there is simply a lower chance that the move's user will be affected.Has a 30% chance of inflcting either [paralysis]{mechanic}, [poison]{mechanic}, or [sleep]{mechanic} on attacking Pokémon on contact.
2928Synchronize3Whenever this Pokémon is [burned]{mechanic:burn}, [paralyzed]{mechanic:paralysis}, or [poisoned]{mechanic:poison}, the Pokémon who gave this Pokémon that ailment is also given the ailment. If this Pokémon is badly poisoned, this ability only passes back regular poison. This ability cannot pass back a status ailment that the Pokémon did not directly receive from another Pokémon, such as the poison from [Toxic Spikes]{move} or the burn from a [Flame Orb]{item}. Overworld: In Pokémon Emerald and all subsequent games, if the lead Pokémon has this ability, wild Pokémon have a 50% chance of having the lead Pokémon's nature, and a 50% chance of being given a random nature as usual; this results in a 52% chance of having the lead Pokémon's nature. This does not work on Pokémon received outside of battle or roaming legendaries.

[Hidden Power]{move} and multiple-target moves, i.e. [Discharge]{move}, are completely unaffected. [Follow Me]{move} takes precedence over this ability.

This effect is ignored if the Pokémon is immune to [Electric]{type} moves from the [Ground]{type}.Draws in all other Pokémon's [Electric]{type} moves, ignoring target and [accuracy]{mechanic}.
3332Serene Grace3This Pokémon's moves twice their usual effect chance.

5554Truant3Every second turn on which this Pokémon should attempt to use a move, it will instead do nothing ("loaf 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.

This ability has no effect for any Pokémon other than [Castform]{pokemon}.

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}.
6160Sticky Hold3This 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}.

Moves of variable type, such as [Hidden Power]{move}, are affected. They otherwise work as usual, however; [Weather Ball]{move}, for example, is always forced to be Normal, but it still has doubled power and looks different during [weather]{mechanic}.

Anything that directly depends on such damage will also not happen; for example, [Leech Seed]{move} will neither hurt this Pokémon nor heal the opponent, and Pokémon with a [Jaboca Berry]{item} or [Rowap Berry]{item} will not consume the berry when hit by this Pokémon. Also, [paralysis]{mechanic} cannot prevent this Pokémon from moving, though the [Speed]{mechanic} cut is unaffected. [Struggle]{move}'s recoil; [Pain Split]{move}, whether used by or against this Pokémon; and the [HP]{mechanic} costs of [Belly Drum]{move} and [Substitute]{move} are unaffected.

10099No Guard4Moves used by or against this Pokémon never miss. One-hit KO moves are unaffected. Moves affected by this ability can hit Pokémon during the preparation turn of moves like [Dig]{move} or [Fly]{move}. In Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, moves affected by this ability have a (100 - accuracy)% chance to hit through [Detect]{move} or [Protect]{move}; moves that would usually be likely to miss are likely to break through. This is a bug and does not happen in any subsequent games. Overworld: If the lead Pokémon has this ability, the wild encounter rate is increased.Ensures all moves used by and against the Pokémon hit.
101100Stall4This Pokémon moves last within its priority bracket. Multiple Pokémon with this ability move in order of [Speed]{mechanic} amongst themselves.

Items that do not directly affect the battle, such as the [Exp. Share]{item}, the [Amulet Coin]{item}, or the [Soothe Bell]{item}, work as usual. All held items work as usual out of battle. Moves that use the held item, such as [Fling]{move}, [Natural Gift]{move}, and [Switcheroo]{move}, work as usual.Negates all battle effects of the Pokémon's held item.
105104Mold Breaker4This Pokémon's moves completely ignore abilities that could hinder or prevent their effect on the target. This Pokémon's moves ignore abilities that would prevent them, such as [Levitate]{ability}, [Soundproof]{ability}, and [Water Absorb]{ability}; abilities that would prevent their effects, such as [Clear Body]{ability}, [Shell Armor]{ability}, and [Sticky Hold]{ability}; abilities that grant any protective benefit, such as [Simple]{ability}, [Snow Cloak]{ability}, and [Thick Fat]{ability}; and abilities that would prevent them from hitting the intended target, i.e. [Lightningrod]{ability} and [Storm Drain]{ability}. If an ability could either hinder or help this Pokémon's moves, e.g. [Dry Skin]{ability} or [Unaware]{ability}, the ability is ignored either way. An ability ignored by this ability is only nullified for the duration of the move. For example, this Pokémon's moves can [paralyze]{mechanic:paralysis} a Pokémon with [Limber]{ability}, but Limber will activate and heal the paralysis immediately thereafter, and this Pokémon's [Spikes]{move} are not helped by this ability after they have been placed. This ablity does not in any way ignore type changes granted by abilities such as [Color Change]{ability} or [Forecast]{ability}; nor effects that were caused by abilities but are no longer tied to an ability, such as the rain from [Drizzle]{ability}; nor abilities that hinder moves' effects on the user but not the target, such as [Liquid Ooze]{ability}.

In the event of a tie, one is chosen at random. Moves without a listed base power are assigned one as follows: Power | Moves ----: | ----- 160 | One-hit KO moves: [Fissure]{move}, [Guillotine]{move}, [Horn Drill]{move}, and [Sheer Cold]{move} 120 | Counter moves: [Counter]{move}, [Metal Burst]{move}, and [Mirror Coat]{move} 80 | Variable power or set damage: [Crush Grip]{move}, [Dragon Rage]{move}, [Endeavor]{move}, [Flail]{move}, [Frustration]{move}, [Grass Knot]{move}, [Gyro Ball]{move}, [Hidden Power]{move}, [Low Kick]{move}, [Natural Gift]{move}, [Night Shade]{move}, [Psywave]{move}, [Return]{move}, [Reversal]{move}, [Seismic Toss]{move}, [SonicBoom]{move}, [Trump Card]{move}, and [Wring Out]{move} 0 | Any such move not listed Reveals the opponents' strongest move upon entering battle.

Covet, Thief, and Knock Off still inflict damage against this Pokémon. Unlike with [Sticky Hold]{ability}, this Pokémon cannot use [Fling]{move}, Switcheroo, or Trick to lose its item itself, nor gain an item through Switcheroo or Trick if it does not have one. This ability has no effect for any Pokémon other than [Arceus]{pokemon}. This ability cannot be traded with [Skill Swap]{move}, nor copied with [Role Play]{move} or [Trace]{ability}, nor disabled with [Gastro Acid]{move}, nor changed with [Worry Seed]{move}.
