Heavy-Metal

Summary

Heavy Metal is an ability primarily held by certain Steel-type Pokémon. This ability doubles the Pokémon's weight, which can have various strategic implications in battle. Here are the key points about Heavy Metal:

  1. Weight Doubling: The primary effect of Heavy Metal is to double the user's weight. For instance, if a Pokémon normally weighs 100 kg, with Heavy Metal, its weight becomes 200 kg.

  2. Move Interactions:

  3. Heavy Slam/Heat Crash: Moves like Heavy Slam and Heat Crash inflict damage based on the user's weight relative to the target's weight. A heavier Pokémon generally deals more damage with these moves, so Heavy Metal can significantly boost their power.
  4. Grass Knot/Low Kick: Conversely, moves like Grass Knot and Low Kick, which inflict more damage based on the target’s weight, will deal increased damage to a Pokémon with Heavy Metal.

  5. Negative Speed Impact: While Heavy Metal increases
