Pressure (Japanese: プレッシャー Pressure) is an Ability introduced in Generation III. Twenty-five Pokémon can have this Ability, a majority of them legendary.
Effect
In battle
Pressure increases foes' PP usage by one for moves targeting the Pokémon with Pressure. Consequently, extra PP is deducted even if the foe's move misses, has multiple targets, or is rendered ineffective due to immunity.
In Generation IV, Pressure also affects ally Pokémon in a Double Battle when using moves such as Earthquake, Surf, Lava Plume, Discharge or any other move which affect all Pokémon engaged in battle. However, this does not happen in Generation V.
As of Generation IV, one is alerted to the presence of Pressure by the message "<name> is exerting its Pressure!"
This ability isn't affected by Teravolt and Turboblaze.
Outside of battle
From Pokémon Emerald onwards, if the Pokémon with Pressure is leading the party, then Pressure increases the chance of battling a higher-leveled wild Pokémon by 50%. See also Hustle and Vital Spirit.
