Oblivious

Oblivious is an ability in the Pokémon series that provides specific beneficial effects to the Pokémon that possess it. Primarily, it grants immunity to infatuation and the effects of the move Taunt. Here's a detailed look at its effects and other interesting facts:

  • Effects:
  • Immunity to Infatuation: Oblivious makes the Pokémon immune to becoming infatuated by the ability Cute Charm or the move Attract. Infatuated Pokémon normally have a 50% chance of being immobilized by love each turn.
  • Immunity to Taunt: It prevents the Pokémon from being affected by Taunt, which usually forces the target to use only damaging moves for several turns.

  • Expanded Functionality: In earlier generations (up to Generation VI), Oblivious only provided immunity to infatuation. Starting from Generation VI, its effects were expanded to include immunity to Taunt as well.
