Telepathy is an ability in the Pokémon series that provides a significant strategic advantage in specific battle conditions. This ability allows the Pokémon to anticipate and evade damaging moves used by its allies during Double Battles, Triple Battles, and other multi-Pokémon formats. This avoidance of friendly fire ensures that the Pokémon with Telepathy won't be harmed by its teammate's area-of-effect or targeted attacks, such as Earthquake, Surf, or Explosion.
Effects:

- Selective Availability: Not all Pokémon can possess Telepathy. This ability is usually found on specific species, such as Musharna,
