Abilities
| Ability | Description |
|---|---|
| Volt Absorb |
Whenever an electric-type move hits this Pokémon, it heals for 1/4 of its maximum HP, negating any other effect on it. This ability will not take effect if this Pokémon is ground-type and thus immune to Electric moves. Electric moves will ignore this Pokémon's substitute. This effect includes non-damaging moves, i.e. thunder-wave. |
| Illuminate |
Overworld: If the lead Pokémon has this ability, the wild encounter rate is doubled. This ability has no effect in battle. |
