Static
Static is an ability in the Pokémon series that primarily relates to causing paralysis. When a Pokémon with Static is hit by a move that makes direct contact, there is a 30% chance that the opposing Pokémon will become paralyzed. This status condition reduces the opponent's speed and has a 25% chance to prevent them from making a move during their turn.
Effects: 1. Paralysis Inducement: As noted, the core effect of Static is to potentially paralyze an opponent upon contact. 2. Team Synergy: Pokémon with Static can work well in teams where speed control is crucial. By paralyzing foes, it can tilt the speed advantage in its team's favor. 3. Contact Moves: Moves that involve direct contact, such as Tackle, Bite, or physical variants of moves, are specifically the ones that may trigger Static.
Interesting Facts: 1. Signature Pokémon: Static is commonly found on Electric-type
