Supersweet-Syrup is a unique ability seen in some Pokémon species within the Pokémon universe. When a Pokémon with this ability enters the battle, it emits a sweet aroma that has a distinct effect on the battlefield.
Effects:
Speed Reduction: Supersweet-Syrup creates a sticky battlefield, reducing the Speed stat of all opposing Pokémon by one stage. This effect can drastically alter the dynamics of the battle, giving slower, often more bulky or hard-hitting Pokémon a chance to strike first.
Immunity Impact: The Pokémon with Supersweet-Syrup itself is unaffected by this speed reduction, which can be strategic, especially in double or triple battles.
Sticky Residue: Moves like Rapid Spin or Defog can remove the syrupy field effect, returning speed stats to normal.
