Flavor text

Limber (Japanese: じゅうなん Flexible) is an Ability introduced in Generation III.
Effect
In battle
Limber prevents the Pokémon from being afflicted by paralysis.
A Pokémon with this Ability will be cured of paralysis if it is paralyzed while in battle (such as if it gains the Ability outside of battle or by an effect like Skill Swap, or is paralyzed by a Pokémon with an Ability like Mold Breaker).
Generation III
If a paralyzed Pokémon with Limber is sent into battle as one of the lead Pokémon or to replace a fainted Pokémon, or gains Limber due to Trace, it will not be cured of paralysis until after a Pokémon takes its turn (uses a move, switches out, etc.). It will be cured of paralysis if it is switched in to replace a switched out Pokémon (including if switched in via Baton Pass).
If a paralyzed Pokémon has Limber as its original Ability but not its current Ability, it will remain paralyzed when switched out.
If the Pokémon with this Ability is paralyzed and is holding a Cheri or Lum Berry, Limber will cure the Pokémon of paralysis before the Berry has a chance to be consumed.
Generation IV
When a paralyzed Pokémon with Limber enters battle, it will be cured of paralysis.
If a paralyzed Pokémon has Limber as its original Ability but not its current Ability, if it is one of the active Pokémon at the end of the battle or switched out, it will be cured of paralysis (with no message).
Generation V onward
If a paralyzed Pokémon has Limber as its original Ability but not its current Ability, it will remain paralyzed when switched out.
If the Pokémon with this Ability is paralyzed and is holding a Cheri or Lum Berry, the Berry will be eaten and cure the Pokémon of paralysis before Limber has a chance to activate.
Outside of battle
If a paralyzed Pokémon gains Limber by evolution or the Ability Capsule, it will not be cured of paralysis until sent into battle. Pokémon with Limber will not be paralyzed by the Gentleman's Kirlia in the Battle Pike nor the Battle Arcade's game board.

Description
|
In the manga
Pokémon Adventures
- In volume 24, Green's Ditto, Ditty, was revealed to have Limber as its Ability.
- White's Stunfisk, Dorothy, was revealed to have Limber as her Ability in the PokéSPedia data-book.
- Sird's Persian was revealed to have Limber as her Ability.
Trivia
- Because Electric-type Pokémon are immune to paralysis from Generation VI onwards, Stunfisk's Limber Ability is redundant unless its type is changed via a type altering move like Camouflage, Reflect Type, or Soak.
