Prankster

Prankster is a highly strategic Ability in Pokémon that grants priority to status moves, allowing Pokémon with this ability to use these moves before most other actions in a turn, regardless of their Speed. This means that moves like Taunt, Thunder Wave, Substitute, and various other non-damaging moves can be used effectively to disrupt opponents, set up conditions, or protect the user.

Effects of Prankster: 1. Priority Boost: Grants +1 priority to status moves. This allows a slower Pokémon with Prankster to potentially act before a faster Pokémon using standard moves. 2. Non-Damaging Move Focus: It specifically applies to status moves, which can include moves that inflict status conditions (e.g., paralysis, confusion), set up entry hazards, change weather conditions, or alter stat stages.

Interesting Facts: 1. Dark-Type Immunity: As of Generation VII, Dark-type Pokémon are immune to moves that gain priority
