Abilities
- Hyper Cutter
The Pokémon’s prized, mighty pincers prevent other Pokémon’s moves or Abilities from lowering its Attack stat.
- Mold Breaker
The Pokémon’s moves are unaffected by the Ability of the target, with certain exceptions.
- MoxieHidden
When the Pokémon knocks out a target with an attack, it shows moxie, which boosts its Attack stat.
The Pokémon’s “not very effective” attacks deal double damage.
