Pixilate
Pixilate is an ability in the Pokémon series that transforms Normal-type moves into Fairy-type moves. Additionally, these moves receive a 20% power boost. This ability is particularly significant in competitive play, as it allows Pokémon to repurpose typically less effective Normal-type moves into powerful Fairy-type attacks, broadening their offensive coverage and effectiveness.
