Abilities

Synchronize

If another Pokemon burns, paralyzes, poisons, or badly poisons this Pokemon, that Pokemon receives the same non-volatile status condition.

Early Bird

This Pokemon's sleep counter drops by 2 instead of 1.

Magic Bounce Hidden

This Pokemon is unaffected by certain non-damaging moves directed at it and will instead use such moves against the original user. Moves reflected in this way are unable to be reflected again by this or Magic Coat's effect. Spikes, Stealth Rock, Sticky Web, and Toxic Spikes can only be reflected once per side, by the leftmost Pokemon under this or Magic Coat's effect. The Lightning Rod and Storm Drain Abilities redirect their respective moves before this Ability takes effect.
