Immunity
Summary
Immunity is an ability that prevents a Pokémon from being afflicted with the Poison status condition. This makes Pokémon with this ability highly effective against opponents that use Poison-type moves or tactics aimed at inflicting poison status.
Effects: - A Pokémon with Immunity cannot be poisoned by any means, including moves like Toxic, Poison Sting, and abilities like Poison Point. - This ability overrides the effects of moves or abilities that would otherwise inflict the poisoned status, providing a consistent safeguard throughout battle.
Interesting Facts: - Users: Many Normal-type Pokémon, such as Snorlax and Zangoose, often have Immunity as their primary or hidden ability. - Strategic Advantage: Having a Pokémon with Immunity in a team can provide a significant strategic edge, particularly in longer battles where status conditions play a critical role. - Breeding: If a Pokémon with Immunity is bred, there is a chance its offspring will inherit the ability, making it useful for breeding
Effects
- This Pokémon cannot be poisoned. This includes bad poison. If a Pokémon is poisoned and acquires this ability, its poison is healed; this includes when regaining a lost ability upon leaving battle.
