#122
Ability 1: Lightning Rod
Lightning Rod forces all single-target Electric-type moves – used by any other Pokémon on the field – to target this Pokémon, and with 100% accuracy. This includes the status move Thunder Wave. The ability is most useful in double/triple battles.
Ability 2: Solid Rock
Solid Rock reduces the damage taken from super-effective attacks by 25%.
Hidden Ability: Reckless
Reckless increases the power of recoil moves by 20%. By extension this means the amount of recoil damage taken will increase as more more damage is dealt (except for High Jump Kick and Jump Kick which have fixed recoil).
