Levitate (Japanese: ふゆう Floating) is an ability introduced in Generation III. Twenty-eight Pokémon have this ability naturally, most of them either Psychic- or Template:Type2s, making it the most prevalent ability in the games.

Effect

In battle

Levitate causes the user to be unaffected by Template:Type2 moves and Arena Trap. Despite the fact that the move Magnet Rise is said to change the Pokémon's ability to Levitate, this is not true — it merely renders the Pokémon immune to Ground attacks while still keeping its normal ability for five turns.

Outside of battle

Levitate has no effect outside of battle.

In the anime

Gengar. Gengar floats in the air around the battlefield.

Trivia

  • Not all floating Pokémon have this ability. For example, Mew, who floats in the air, does not have Levitate.
  • Despite the fact that its Generation IV description says that it gives full immunity to all Template:Type2 moves, Pokémon with Levitate are affected by Sand-Attack.
  • Even if a levitating Pokémon uses Dig, Levitate still makes Earthquake and Magnitude miss.
