Synchronize

Summary

Synchronize is a Pokémon ability that allows the user to pass on status conditions it receives to its opponent. If a Pokémon with Synchronize becomes poisoned, paralyzed, or burned, the same status condition will be inflicted on the opponent that caused the status ailment. This ability can serve as both a defensive and offensive tool in battle, providing strategic depth and utility.

Effects:

Poisoning: If a Pokémon with Synchronize is poisoned (either regular or badly poisoned), the opponent that inflicted the poison will also become poisoned with the same severity.
Paralysis: When a Pokémon with Synchronize is paralyzed, the opponent causing the paralysis also becomes paralyzed. This can significantly hinder the opponent's speed and ability to act in subsequent turns.
Burning: If a Pokémon with Synchronize is burned, the opponent that caused the burn will also be inflicted with the burn status condition, reducing their physical attack power and causing

Effects

Whenever this Pokémon is burned, paralyzed, or poisoned, the Pokémon who gave this Pokémon that ailment is also given the ailment. This ability passes back bad poison when this Pokémon is badly poisoned. This ability cannot pass on a status ailment that the Pokémon did not directly receive from another Pokémon, such as the poison from toxic spikes or the burn from a flame orb. Overworld: If the lead Pokémon has this ability, wild Pokémon have a 50% chance of having the lead Pokémon's nature, and a 50% chance of being given a random nature as usual, including the lead Pokémon's nature. This does not work on Pokémon received outside of battle or roaming legendaries.
