Stealth is an ability in the Pokémon series that is particularly strategic and enabling in battles. This ability allows a Pokémon to be less noticeable in battle, increasing its evasiveness. Essentially, when a Pokémon with Stealth is on the battlefield, it becomes harder for opponents to land their moves on it due to the stat increase in its evasion, making evasion-based strategies more feasible.
Effects of Stealth:
- Increased Evasiveness: The primary effect of Stealth is that it boosts the Pokémon’s evasion. This means that the accuracy of the opponent's moves is lower when targeting the Pokémon with Stealth.
- Elusiveness in Battle: Stealth makes it more difficult for opponents to predict the Pokémon’s movements, giving a tactical advantage in longevity during battles.
Interesting Facts:
- Strategic Advantage: Stealth is useful in conjunction with moves that already have a higher chance to miss, such as moves with lower accuracy.
