Abilities
This Pokemon does not take recoil damage, except Struggle. Does not affect Life Orb damage or crash damage.
If this Pokemon is at full HP, it survives one hit with at least 1 HP. OHKO moves fail when used against this Pokemon.
This Pokemon's attacks with secondary effects have their power multiplied by 1.3, but the secondary effects are removed. If a secondary effect was removed, it also removes the user's Life Orb recoil and Shell Bell recovery, and prevents the target's Anger Shell, Berserk, Color Change, Emergency Exit, Pickpocket, Wimp Out, Red Card, Eject Button, Kee Berry, and Maranga Berry from activating.
