POKEMON ABILITIES
Emerald Version
by Sean Nolan
If you have played Pokemon Ruby, Sapphire, FireRed or LeafGreen,
you know that pokemon have innate abilities which have an effect
on their battling. Some pokemon have one possible ability, while
others have two possible abilities. In most cases, the ability
will be something beneficial, while in a few, it serves no battle
purpose, and in one distinct instance, it hinders the pokemon in
battle (Truant).
What is new in Emerald, which inspired this guide, is that many
abilities now have out-of-battle effects. Therefore, I have made
this guide which details both in- and out-of-battle effects of the
various abilities. After the ability list, I have also added a
list of attacks which have effects on abilities in battle.
So without further ado, here is the list of abilities:

Shedinja
There are also two abilities which do not naturally appear in the
game on any pokemon. They are Cacophany, which is identical to
Soundproof, and No Ability, which is exactly what is sounds like.
The following moves have some effect on pokemon abilities:
Role Play - This will copy the ability of the target pokemon. If
an ability is copied which prevents a status effect
which is already affecting this pokemon, the effects
will be suspended until this pokemon loses the copied
ability. For instance, if a Burned pokemon uses Role
Play to copy Water Veil, the effects of the Burn
(damage each turn and lowered attack) will vanish
until the pokemon either Role Plays another ability
or until it switches out and back in. Remember that
Wonder Guard CANNOT be the target of Role Play.
Skill Swap - This move trades moves with the target pokemon. It
CANNOT target Wonder Guard. See Role Play above for
the effects of a pre-existing status effect when an
immunity ability is swapped in.
Transform - This will copy the ability of the target pokemon when
the user changes form.
REQUESTS FOR INFORMATION!!!!!
I would gladly give credit to anyone who can answer the following:
1) Does Transform allow Ditto/Mew to acquire Wonder Guard and
KEEP its higher-than-1 HPs?
2) Does Snatch steal increases from abilities like Speed Boost?
E-mail any answers to [email protected]
A note on moves such as Overheat and Superpower:
No ability will prevent a pokemon from losing stats from its own
moves, so Clear Body, Hyper Cutter, etc, will not prevent stat
loss from moves such as Overheat, Superpower, etc.
And finally, this is a list (hopefully complete) of the moves
that are considered a Physical Attack and which trigger abilities
such as Flame Body and Static:
Aerial Ace
Ancientpower
Arm Thrust (2-5 chances!)
Astonish
Bide
Bind
Bite
Blaze Kick
Body Slam
Bounce
Brick Break
Clamp
Comet Punch (2-5 chances!)
Constrict

Struggle
Submission
Super Fang
Superpower
Tackle
Take Down
Thief
Thrash
Thunderpunch
Tickle
Triple Kick
Vice Grip
Vine Whip
Vital Throw
Waterfall
Wing Attack
Wrap
Just a word of advice. Notice in the list how some have, in
parentheses, 2 chances or 2-5 chances? These attacks hit
multiple times in a single attack, and each time they connect,
there is a chance the effect will take place. Since the
average chance of occurence is 30%, if you hit them 4 or 5
times, you are almost guaranteed of setting off whatever
effect the ability causes. Don't use these against pokemon
with status generating abilities!
And now, the boilerplate...
