Telepathy

Summary

Telepathy is an ability in the Pokémon series that provides a significant strategic advantage in specific battle conditions. This ability allows the Pokémon to anticipate and evade damaging moves used by its allies during Double Battles, Triple Battles, and other multi-Pokémon formats. This avoidance of friendly fire ensures that the Pokémon with Telepathy won't be harmed by its teammate's area-of-effect or targeted attacks, such as Earthquake, Surf, or Explosion.

Effects:

  1. Immunity to Ally Attacks: The primary effect of Telepathy is that it nullifies damage from moves used by its allies, preventing any harm from inadvertent attacks during team battles.
  2. Strategic Flexibility: Telepathy provides more strategic options when planning a team, as it allows the use of powerful area-of-effect moves without the risk of collateral damage.

Interesting Facts:

  1. Selective Availability: Not all Pokémon can possess Telepathy. This ability is usually found on specific species, such as Musharna,
