Stamina

Stamina

Stamina is an ability introduced in the Pokémon series starting from Generation VII. This ability is primarily known for its defensive utility, as it boosts the endurance of the Pokémon that possesses it.

Effects: - Defensive Boost: When a Pokémon with Stamina is hit by a move (regardless of whether it deals damage or not), its Defense stat is increased by one stage. This effect can activate multiple times throughout the battle, potentially leading to significant boosts in the Pokémon's Defense if it continues to take hits.

Significance: - Survivability: Stamina is particularly advantageous in prolonging the survivability of Pokémon in battles, making them much more formidable opponents over time, especially in prolonged matches. - Strategy: Ideally, this ability is utilized on Pokémon with high HP or base defense stats to maximize its effectiveness. One of the most notable Pokémon with this ability is Mudsdale, known for its tank-like qualities.
