Mirror-Armor

Mirror Armor is a Pokémon ability introduced in Generation VIII. This unique ability is characteristic of Pokémon such as Corviknight. Here are the key details and effects of Mirror Armor:

  1. Effect:
  2. Mirror Armor reflects any stat-lowering effects back to the Pokémon that attempted to inflict them. For instance, if an opposing Pokémon tries to lower Corviknight's Defense stat with a move like Screech, the effect will instead target the user of Screech, lowering its Defense instead. This includes effects from moves, abilities, and even items that cause stat reductions.

  3. In-Battle Dynamics:

  4. This ability can be strategically advantageous, especially when faced with opponents that rely on moves to debuff stats as part of their strategy. Mirror Armor essentially makes it risky for opponents to use such strategies, as the debuff will backfire onto them.
  5. It is important to note that Mirror Armor does not reflect stat increases; it solely deals with attempts
