Mold-Breaker

Mold Breaker is a Pokémon ability that allows the user to negate the defensive abilities of its targets. This means that a Pokémon with Mold Breaker can use its moves without being hindered by the target's abilities that would normally reduce or prevent the moves' effects. For example, Mold Breaker bypasses abilities like Levitate, Sturdy, and Multiscale, thus allowing moves that would normally be nullified or weakened by these abilities to hit or deal their full damage.

Effects:

  1. Negation of Abilities: Mold Breaker negates defensive abilities in battle. This includes abilities that grant immunity, reduce damage, or have any protective effects.
  2. Effective Moves: All moves used by a Mold Breaker Pokémon are executed as if the target had no abilities, making it particularly useful against Pokémon that rely on their abilities for survival in competitive play.
  3. Bypassing Defenses: Specific scenarios include:
  4. Levitate: Moves
