Abilities
- Contrary
Reverses any stat changes affecting the Pokémon so that attempts to boost its stats instead lower them — and attempts to lower its stats will boost them.
- Suction Cups
The Pokémon uses suction cups to stay in one spot. This protects it from moves and items that would force it to switch out.
- InfiltratorHidden
When using its moves, the Pokémon ignores the effects of targets’ Light Screen, Reflect, Aurora Veil, Safeguard, and substitutes.
When the Pokémon is hit by a contact move, the attacker’s Speed stat is lowered.
