Orichalcum Pulse is an exclusive ability introduced in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, primarily associated with the Paradox Pokémon Koraidon. This ability activates under certain conditions to provide strong advantages during battle.
Key Effects:
Sunlight Activation: When Koraidon enters the battlefield, Orichalcum Pulse automatically brings strong sunlight, similar to the move Sunny Day. This weather effect not only boosts Fire-type moves but also has various interactions with other abilities and moves.
Stat Boost: In addition to setting up sunlight, Orichalcum Pulse boosts Koraidon's Attack stat by 30% while the strong sunlight is active. This makes Koraidon an even more formidable physical attacker, enhancing its offensive capabilities significantly.
Interesting Facts:
Weather Control: Unlike optional weather-setting moves like Sunny Day, Orichalcum Pulse activates automatically upon Koraidon's entry, eliminating the need to spend a turn on setting up weather manually
