Ability
- Intimidate
- Game's description
- Lowers the foe's ATTACK.
- Battle effect
- Upon entering battle, the opponent's Attack lowers one stage. In a Double Battle, both opponents' Attack are lowered. POKéMON with the Clear Body, Hyper Cutter, or White Smoke ability are unaffected. In a link battle, if both sides switch on the same turn, and first player sends out a POKéMON with Intimidate, the opponent's Attack will be lowered before the opponent's POKéMON switches.
- Map effect
- If the POKéMON is in the lead spot, chance of encountering a low level wild POKéMON decreases by 50%. This applies to POKéMON five levels lower than or below the level of the lead POKéMON.
- Flash Fire
- Game's description
- Powers up if hit by fire.
- Battle effect
- Activates when user is hit by a damaging Fire-type move (including Fire-type Hidden Power). Once activated, user's Fire-type moves deal 1.5 times damage. While this ability is in effect, this POKéMON is immune to damage from Fire-type attacks and Fire-type Hidden Power (accuracy and effect from these moves are ignored). For Fire-type POKéMON with this ability, Will-O-Wisp activates this ability without having an effect. If a non-Fire-type POKéMON has this ability, Will-O-Wisp will activate the ability and will have an effect.
