Abilities

Sticky Hold

This Pokemon cannot lose its held item due to another Pokemon's Ability or attack, unless the attack knocks out this Pokemon. A Sticky Barb will be transferred to other Pokemon regardless of this Ability.

Storm Drain

This Pokemon is immune to Water-type moves and raises its Special Attack by 1 stage when hit by a Water-type move. If this Pokemon is not the target of a single-target Water-type move used by another Pokemon, this Pokemon redirects that move to itself if it is within the range of that move. If multiple Pokemon could redirect with this Ability, it goes to the one with the highest Speed, or in the case of a tie to the one that has had this Ability active longer.

Sand Force Hidden

If Sandstorm is active, this Pokemon's Ground-, Rock-, and Steel-type attacks have their power multiplied by 1.3. This Pokemon takes no damage from Sandstorm.
