Flavor

In-game flavor text and effect notes for this ability.

Flavor Text

The Pokémon can sense an opposing Pokémon's dangerous moves.

Short Effect

Notifies all trainers upon entering battle if an opponent has a super-effective move, Self-Destruct, Explosion, or a one-hit KO move.

Effect

When this Pokémon enters battle, if one of its opponents has a move that is super effective against it, Self-Destruct, Explosion, or a one-hit knockout move, all participating trainers are notified. The move itself is not revealed; only that there is such a move. Moves that inflict typeless damage, such as Future Sight, and moves of variable type, such as Hidden Power, count as their listed types. Counter, Metal Burst, Mirror Coat, and one-hit KO moves to which this Pokémon is immune do not trigger this ability.
