Effect
In battle
Mold Breaker allows the Pokémon's moves to strike through any opposing abilities e.g. Fire-type moves will hit a Pokémon with Flash Fire. Likewise, Pokémon with Water Absorb or Wonder Guard will have their abilities disabled and will be damaged by Water or non-super effective moves respectively. Levitate ability is also lifted, enabling Ground-type moves to hit through. However, this does not enable Flying-type Pokémon to be hit by Ground-type moves or Ghost-type Pokémon to be hit by Normal-type moves.
When a Pokémon with Mold Breaker is brought out, the message "<name> has Mold Breaker!" will be displayed.
Outside of battle
Mold Breaker has no effect outside of battle.
