Flavor text

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 claims it changes 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.
Pokémon with Levitate

Trivia
- Not all floating Pokémon have this ability. For example, Mew, who floats in the air, does not have Levitate.
