Rattled

Rattled is a Pokémon ability that provides a unique reactive advantage in battles. When a Pokémon with this ability is hit by specific types of moves—namely Bug, Ghost, or Dark-type moves—its Speed stat is increased by one stage. This boost can be particularly advantageous in turning the tide of a battle, enabling the Pokémon to outspeed opponents that it may not have been able to before.

Here are some interesting facts about Rattled: - Type Interaction: The specific interaction with Bug, Ghost, and Dark-type moves makes Rattled strategically useful against certain opponents. Most Pokémon with this ability tend to have weaknesses that align with these attack types, allowing them to counter potential disadvantages. - Stage Boost: Each increase in Speed stat can make a significant impact, as a one-stage boost typically means a 50% increase in the Pokémon's Speed stat. This can be crucial in high-stakes battles, where speed can determine which Pokémon attacks first. -

Effects

This Pokémon's Speed rises one stage with each hit from a damaging dark-, ghost-, or bug-type move.
