Abilities
This Pokemon is immune to Water-type moves and restores 1/4 of its maximum HP, rounded down, when hit by a Water-type move.
If Sunny Day is active, this Pokemon's Speed is doubled. This effect is prevented if this Pokemon is holding a Utility Umbrella.
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.
