Armor Tail (Japanese: テイルアーマー Tail Armor) is an Ability introduced in Generation IX. It is the signature Ability of Farigiraf.
Effect
In battle
This Ability effect may be in need of research. Reason: What happens with moves called by Mirror Move, Metronome, Encore? (using priority moves at 0 priority, and interaction with non-priority moves used at +1 priority due to these moves being boosted by Prankster) You can discuss this on the talk page. |
If an opponent uses a priority move (including moves boosted by Prankster or Gale Wings) that targets the Pokémon with Armor Tail or its allies, Armor Tail prevents the Pokémon from executing that move (PP is still consumed). When this occurs, the text "<Pokémon> cannot use <move>!" is displayed.
Moves that target all Pokémon (except Perish Song) and moves that target all foes cannot be blocked by Armor Tail, even if they become priority moves. Armor Tail has no effect on allies' priority moves.
Mold Breaker, Turboblaze, and Teravolt will ignore this Ability.
Priority moves called using Instruct retain their original priority, and are blocked by Armor Tail. Non-priority moves called using Instruct with boosted priority (for example if the Instruct-user has Prankster) similarly retain their original priority and are not blocked.
