Levitate
Levitate is an ability in the Pokémon series that grants the user immunity to all Ground-type moves. This can be particularly advantageous in battles, as Ground-type moves are commonly used and can be highly damaging.
Effects: 1. Immunity to Ground-Type Moves: Pokémon with Levitate are entirely immune to Ground-type moves, including powerful attacks like Earthquake, Earth Power, and Mud-Slap. This immunity also extends to Ground-type status moves such as Spikes and Toxic Spikes but not to entry hazards such as Stealth Rock. 2. Ignorance of Certain Terrain Effects: Levitate provides immunity to terrain-based effects that occur on the ground, such as damage from Spikes and Toxic Spikes. 3. Negated by Moves and Abilities: The ability can be nullified by certain moves and abilities. For example, Mold Breaker, Turboblaze, and Teravolt can bypass Levitate, allowing Ground-type moves to hit.
