Abilities

Oblivious

This Pokémon cannot be infatuated and is immune to Captivate. If a Pokémon is infatuated and acquires this ability, its infatuation is cleared.

Anticipation

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.

This Pokémon is cured of any major status ailment after each turn during rain.
