Arena Trap
Prevents opposing Pokemon from choosing to switch out unless they are airborne, are holding a Shed Shell, or are a Ghost type.
Sheer Force Hidden
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.
