Abilities

Early Bird

This Pokémon's remaining sleep turn count falls by 2 rather than 1. If this Pokémon's sleep counter is at 1, it will fall to 0 and then the Pokémon will wake up.

Flash Fire

This Pokémon is immune to Fire-type moves. Once this Pokémon has been hit by a Fire move, its own Fire moves will inflict 1.5× as much damage until it leaves battle. This ability has no effect while the Pokémon is frozen. The Fire damage bonus is retained even if the Pokémon is frozen and thawed or the ability is lost or disabled. Fire moves will ignore this Pokémon's Substitute. This ability takes effect even on non-damaging moves, i.e. Will-O-Wisp.

UnnerveHidden

Opposing Pokémon cannot eat held Berries while this Pokémon is in battle. Affected Pokémon can still use Bug Bite or Pluck to eat a target's Berry.
