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.
