    Abilities

    Rock Head

    This Pokémon does not receive recoil damage from its recoil moves. Struggle's recoil is unaffected. This ability does not prevent crash damage from missing with Jump Kick or High Jump Kick.

    Sturdy

    When this Pokémon is at full HP, any hit that would knock it out will instead leave it with 1 HP. Regardless of its current HP, it is also immune to the one-hit KO moves: Fissure, Guillotine, Horn Drill, and Sheer Cold. If this Pokémon is holding a Focus Sash, this ability takes precedence and the item will not be consumed.

    Weak ArmorHidden

    Whenever a physical move hits this Pokémon, its Speed rises one stage and its Defense falls one stage. This ability triggers on every hit of a multiple-hit move.
