Game data
Abilities
- Oblivious

The Pokémon sticks to its own tempo, preventing it from becoming confused. It is also unaffected by Intimidate.
- RegeneratorHidden
The Pokémon has ⅓ of its max HP restored when it switches out of battle.
The Pokémon ignores the target’s stat changes when attacking, and ignores the attacker’s stat changes when being attacked. It cannot ignore changes to the Speed stat, however.
