Ability Detail

Summary

Overcoat is an ability in the Pokémon series that provides a Pokémon with immunity to damage from weather conditions, such as Hail and Sandstorm. This ability can be quite advantageous for Pokémon that would otherwise be susceptible to such environmental effects, particularly those without an inherent resistance to them.

Effects:

Weather Immunity: Pokémon with Overcoat do not take damage from Hail or Sandstorm weather conditions. This is especially beneficial for maintaining HP in extended battles that involve weather-changing moves or abilities.

Powder Moves Immunity: Overcoat also protects the Pokémon from powder and spore moves such as Sleep Powder, Poison Powder, Stun Spore, and Spore. This additional immunity can be crucial in competitive play, where status conditions can dictate the outcome of battles.

Spore and Rage Powder: Additionally, Overcoat protects against moves like Rage Powder and Spore, which are frequently used to disrupt or control the battlefield.
