Calming is an ability typically associated with peace-loving or serene Pokémon. When a Pokémon with this ability enters battle, it creates a tranquil aura that can have several beneficial effects.
Effects: 1. Stress Reduction: The primary function of Calming is to reduce the attack power of all opposing Pokémon by reducing their aggression levels. This often translates to a decrease in the opponents' Attack and Special Attack stats by one stage upon the ability's activation. 2. Status Immunity: The calming aura confers a protective effect on the user, often granting immunity to certain status conditions such as confusion and taunt, which could otherwise disrupt its focus and strategy. 3. Boost to Healing Moves: Moves that restore health, such as Recover or Wish, may see a slight boost in their effectiveness when used by a Pokémon with Calming, due to the enhanced tranquil environment.
