    Abilities

    Hyper Cutter

    This Pokémon's Attack cannot be lowered by other Pokémon. This ability does not prevent any Attack losses other than stat modifiers, such as the Attack cut from a burn. This Pokémon can still be passed negative Attack modifiers through Heart Swap or Power Swap.

    Arena Trap

    While this Pokémon is in battle, opposing Pokémon cannot flee or switch out. Flying-type Pokémon and Pokémon in the air, e.g. due to Levitate or Magnet Rise, are unaffected. Pokémon with Run Away can still flee. Pokémon can still switch out with the use of a move or item. Overworld: If the lead Pokémon has this ability, the wild encounter rate is doubled.

    Sheer ForceHidden

    This Pokémon's moves with extra effects have 1.3× their power, but lose their extra effects. An effect chance is a move's chance to inflict a status ailment, cause a stat change, or make the target flinch in addition to the move's main effect. For example, Thunder Shock's paralysis is an extra effect, but Thunder Wave's is not, nor are Knock Off's item removal and Air Cutter's increased critical hit rate. Moves that lower the user's stats are unaffected.
