Abilities
- Stench
By releasing a stench when attacking, there is a 10% chance that targets damaged by the Pokémon’s moves will flinch. This does not stack with moves or items that have a chance to flinch.
- Sticky Hold
The Pokémon’s held items cling to its sticky body and cannot be stolen or removed by other Pokémon.
- Poison TouchHidden
When the Pokémon hits a target with a contact move, the target has a 30% chance of being poisoned.
Water-type moves do not work on the Pokémon. Instead, they restore ¼ of its max HP.
