Anger Shell is a unique ability introduced in the Pokémon series. This ability triggers when the Pokémon's HP drops below half in battle, initiating an intriguing and strategic effect. Upon activation, Anger Shell lowers the Pokémon’s Defense and Special Defense stats by one stage each. However, it compensates for this reduction by raising the Pokémon’s Attack, Special Attack, and Speed stats by one stage each.
The activation of Anger Shell provides a mix of risk and reward; the reduction in defenses makes the Pokémon more vulnerable to subsequent attacks, while the boost in offensive stats and speed can turn the tide of battle by allowing the Pokémon to hit harder and potentially outspeed opponents that were previously faster.
Interesting Facts: - Anger Shell is akin to the moves Shell Smash and Belly Drum, which also involve trade-offs between lowering defense and raising offensive potential. - The ability promotes a more aggressive and dynamic battle strategy, particularly for sweeping tactics, where the Pokémon aims to knock out opponents quickly before
