Ability Detail

Summary

Keen Eye is an ability in the Pokémon series that serves primarily to enhance a Pokémon’s accuracy and hinder an opponent’s attempts to lower it. Below is a detailed summary of Keen Eye:

Effects: 1. Accuracy Prevention: Keen Eye prevents the Pokémon’s accuracy from being lowered by opponent’s moves or abilities. This means that moves like Sand Attack and abilities like Intimidate (when used in tandem with accuracy-lowering moves) will not affect a Pokémon with Keen Eye. 2. Bypassing Evasion Boosts (Generation VI onward): From Generation VI onwards, Pokémon with Keen Eye can land their moves on opponents that have raised their evasion stats as if there was no such increase. For instance, a Pokémon with double evasion would still be hit by a Keen Eye user as though its evasion were at the base level.

Interesting Facts: - Pokémon Species: Keen Eye is commonly found in bird Pokémon, such as Pidgey,

Effects

This Pokémon cannot have its accuracy lowered. This ability does not prevent any accuracy losses other than stat modifiers, such as the accuracy cut from fog; nor does it prevent other Pokémon's evasion from making this Pokémon's moves less accurate. This Pokémon can still be passed negative accuracy modifiers through heart swap. Overworld: If the first Pokémon in the party has this ability, any random encounter with a Pokémon five or more levels lower than it has a 50% chance of being skipped.
