White Smoke (Japanese: しろいけむり White Smoke) is an ability introduced in Generation III. Only one Pokémon has this ability.

Effect

In battle

White Smoke prevents ability reduction. Therefore the Pokémon's stats cannot be reduced from moves such as Scary Face, or abilities such as Intimidate.

Outside of battle

From Pokémon Emerald onwards, if the Pokémon with White Smoke is leading the party, then White Smoke decreases the wild Pokémon encounter rate.
