Illuminate (Japanese: はっこう Luminescence) is an Ability introduced in Generation III.
Effect
In battle
Illuminate has no effect during battle.
In Pokémon Mystery Dungeon and the sequel, a Pokémon with Illuminate "blinks" after a turn in which it was damaged. The "blink" summons a hostile Pokémon somewhere on the floor.
Outside of battle
If a Pokémon with Illuminate is leading the party, the wild Pokémon encounter rate increases by 100%. From Pokémon Emerald onwards, it shares this trait with Arena Trap.

Notes

Watchog holds out its arms and the yellow parts of its eyes and all the yellow stripes on its body flash yellow extremely brightly. The light then dies down a little, causing any invisible things to appear.
