Gravity (Japanese: じゅうりょく Gravity) is a Psychic-type move introduced in Generation IV.

Contents

Effect

Gravity disables moves that requires the user to go into the air, including Bounce, Fly, Splash, Jump Kick and Hi Jump Kick, and the moves that require levitation such as Magnet Rise. If a Pokémon is using Fly or Bounce when Gravity comes into effect, it will immediately be stopped.

It also disables the immunity of Flying-type Pokémon and Pokémon with the Levitate ability to Ground-type moves. Spikes and Toxic Spikes will also affect the Flying-type Pokémon and the Pokémon with Levitate. It also decreases the Evasion of all Pokémon in battle by two stages.

After five turns, the intense gravity will wear off, much like a weather condition (though weather conditions do not supersede it).
