Stalwart

Stalwart is an ability introduced in Generation VIII of the Pokémon series. The primary effect of Stalwart is that it allows the Pokémon with this ability to ignore the effects of moves and abilities that draw in moves, such as Follow Me and Storm Drain. This ensures that the Pokémon's targeted moves reach their intended target without being redirected.

An interesting fact about Stalwart is that it highlights the Pokémon's unwavering focus on its target. It is especially useful in double battles where move redirection strategies are common, as it allows the user to bypass distractions and hit the target they originally intended to strike. This ability can be particularly advantageous when dealing with opponents who rely heavily on redirection tactics to protect key Pokémon on their team.

Stalwart is the signature ability of a few specific Pokémon, most notably the Steel/Dragon-type Duraludon. This allows Duraludon to effectively counter Pokémon like Togekiss, which often use redirection moves like Follow Me to divert attacks
