Storm Drain

Ability used by 7 Sword and Shield Pokémon.

Flavor

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

Flavor Text

Draws in all Water-type moves. Instead of being hit by Water-type moves, it boosts its Sp. Atk.

Short Effect

Redirects single-target Water moves to this Pokémon where possible. Absorbs Water moves, raising Special Attack one stage.

Effect

All other Pokémon's single-target Water-type moves are redirected to this Pokémon, if it is an eligible target. Other Pokémon's Water moves raise this Pokémon's Special Attack one stage, negating any other effect on it, and cannot miss it. If the move's intended target also has this ability, the move is not redirected. When multiple Pokémon with this ability are possible targets for redirection, the move is redirected to the one with the highest Speed stat, or, in the case of a tie, to a random tied Pokémon. Follow Me takes precedence over this ability.
