'''Zen Mode''' (Japanese: '''ダルマモード''' ''{{wp|Daruma doll|Daruma}} Mode'') is an [[Ability]] introduced in [[Generation V]]. It is the [[signature Ability]] of {{p|Darmanitan}} and one of the signature Abilities of {{rf|Galarian}} Darmanitan.

==Effect==
===In battle===
If a {{p|Darmanitan}} has this Ability, it is able to [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Darmanitan|change forms]] in battle, based on its [[HP]]. Each form has its own [[type]]s, [[base stats]], [[EV yield]], [[height]], and [[weight]]. This Ability has no effect on any other Pokémon, even one that {{m|Transform|transforms}} into Darmanitan.

At the end of a turn, if the HP of a Standard Mode Darmanitan with the Ability Zen Mode is 50% HP or less, it will change into its Zen Mode. At the end of a turn, if the HP of a Zen Mode Darmanitan with the Ability Zen Mode is above half, it will change into its Standard Mode. Darmanitan is always in Standard Mode outside of battle.

A Zen Mode Darmanitan will change back to Standard Mode when switched out.

In Standard Mode, Unovan Darmanitan is {{type|Fire}} and Galarian Darmanitan is {{type|Ice}}; in Zen Mode, Unovan Darmanitan is dual-type {{2t|Fire|Psychic}} and Galarian Darmanitan is dual-type {{2t|Ice|Fire}}.

====Generations V to VI====
If Darmanitan loses Zen Mode or Zen Mode is suppressed with {{m|Gastro Acid}}, it will revert to its Standard Mode and not be able to change form. If Darmanitan gains Zen Mode, at the end of the turn it will change form if its HP is below half.

{{m|Role Play}} fails if the target has Zen Mode. {{m|Entrainment}} fails if the user has Zen Mode. Zen Mode cannot be copied by {{a|Trace}}.

====Generation VII onward====
{{m|Gastro Acid}}, {{m|Worry Seed}}, and {{m|Simple Beam}} fail if the target has Zen Mode. {{m|Role Play}}, {{m|Skill Swap}}, {{m|Entrainment}}, and {{m|Doodle}} fail if either Pokémon has Zen Mode. Zen Mode cannot be copied by {{a|Trace}}, {{a|Power of Alchemy}}, or {{a|Receiver}}, replaced by {{a|Mummy}} or {{a|Lingering Aroma}}, suppressed by {{m|Core Enforcer}} or {{a|Neutralizing Gas}}, or traded by {{a|Wandering Spirit}}.

===Outside of battle===
Zen Mode has no effect outside of battle.

Dancer (Ability)

2025-11-21T05:02:40Z

Linathan: Reverted mention of sleep and freeze (Proof: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1290010578516971671/1441290490619367536/20251120235227-01KAJC1W39ZTSNDF1NS57V9XBF.mp4?ex=692141de&is=691ff05e&hm=928298ac3a48f4fbbe05eb3892c5feaf4138872502c7c52a36dc6311342f60c2&)

{{AbilityInfobox/desc|VII|When another Pokémon uses a dance move, it can use a dance move following it regardless of its Speed.}}
{{AbilityInfobox/desc|VIII|When another Pokémon uses a dance move, it can use a dance move following it regardless of its Speed.}}
{{AbilityInfobox/desc|IX|Whenever a dance move is used in battle, the Pokémon will copy the user to immediately perform that dance move itself.}}
|}
'''Dancer''' (Japanese: '''おどりこ''' ''Dancer'') is an [[Ability]] introduced in [[Generation VII]]. It is the [[signature Ability]] of {{p|Oricorio}}.

==Effect==
===In battle===
Whenever another Pokémon uses a [[dance move]], a Pokémon with the Ability Dancer will immediately use that move as well. Using a move through Dancer is a separate action to using the move originally selected. Dancer will not activate for a move copied by another Pokémon with Dancer, but it will activate on an {{m|instruct}}ed dance move.

Dancer is able to copy a [[status move|status]] dance move that has been powered up into its corresponding [[Z-Move]] (e.g. Z-Feather Dance), but the Pokémon with Dancer copies the regular version of the move and does not gain the additional Z-Power effect.

Dancer will not activate if all of the move's targets are {{cat|protection moves|protected}} from it, if the move fails to affect any Pokémon (e.g. {{m|Teeter Dance}} if all of the targets are already confused or have {{a|Own Tempo}}), or if all targets are immune (e.g. {{type|Electric}} {{m|Revelation Dance}} if the target is {{type|Ground}}). Dancer will not activate if the move is stolen by {{m|Snatch}} or if the Pokémon with Dancer is in the semi-invulnerable turn of a move like {{m|Fly}}.

If multiple Pokémon have Dancer when a dance move is used, the slowest Pokémon will move first ([[Lagging Tail]] and [[Full Incense]] are ignored), even during {{m|Trick Room}}.

If the Pokémon with Dancer is {{status|Confusion|confused}}, it may hurt itself instead of copying the move, even if it is protected by a move like {{m|Protect}} or {{m|Mat Block}}. If a Pokémon has [[flinch]]ed, this also applies to moves it subsequently tries to copy with Dancer. A Pokémon with Dancer that is locked into a {{cat|Consecutively executed moves|consecutively executed move}} (such as {{m|Petal Dance}}) or any move by {{m|Encore}} or a held {{cat|Choice items|Choice item}} will still try to copy the move, but will fail unless it is locked into that same dance move; if a Pokémon uses Petal Dance via Dancer while locked into Petal Dance, this usage does not count towards the 2-3 turn duration. If a Pokémon with Dancer is holding an [[Assault Vest]], it can still successfully copy [[status move|status]] dance moves.

{{m|Lunar Dance}} is copied after the original user faints. If a Pokémon copies {{m|Petal Dance}} via Dancer, it will not be locked into the move. If {{m|Feather Dance}} is reflected by {{a|Magic Bounce}} or {{m|Magic Coat}}, Dancer will not activate for either the initial usage of the move or its reflected use. If the Pokémon with Dancer is under the effect of {{m|Taunt}}, it will still try to copy a [[status move|status]] dance move, but will fail.

Moves used via Dancer can be stolen by Snatch and reflected by Magic Bounce and Magic Coat. Moves used via Dancer are not considered the move used most recently (such as for the purpose of {{m|Instruct}}, {{m|Mimic}} or {{m|Mirror Move}}), but damage dealt by them is considered for the purpose of {{m|Counter}}, {{m|Mirror Coat}}, {{m|Metal Burst}}, and {{m|Comeuppance}}.

In a [[Double Battle]], if an ally uses a single-target dance move on an opponent, then the copied move will target the same opponent when copied by Dancer. Otherwise, a copied single-target dance move will target the user of the dance move.

In a [[Tera Raid Battle]], Dancer will not activate if an ally uses a dance move.

==Trivia==
* {{m|Rain Dance}} is not classified as a dance move, because its Japanese name does not reference dancing—it translates to "Rain Prayer" instead.
** Regardless, Dancer copying Rain Dance would be ineffective, as Rain Dance fails when used while it is already raining.
* {{m|Clangorous Soul}} and {{m|Aqua Step}} are the only moves classified as dance moves that do not have "Dance" in their names.
** Aqua Step is the only one that is a [[physical move]].

Destiny Bond (move)

2025-09-04T19:13:24Z

Linathan: Destiny Bond can still be used even while a Dynamax Pokemon is present on the field as long as it's not in a Max Raid Battle. The battle message "The move was blocked by the power of Dynamax!" only applies to Max Raid Battles. See

'''Destiny Bond''' (Japanese: '''みちづれ''' ''Take Along With'') is a non-damaging {{type|Ghost}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation II]].

==Effect==
When Destiny Bond is used, until the user moves again, if the user faints as the direct result of an attack the attacking Pokémon also faints. If the user takes another turn (including "inactive" turns such as those spent {{status|sleep}}ing or [[flinch]]ing), the effect disappears.

Destiny Bond does not activate from indirect damage such as [[weather]] damage, damage from {{m|Leech Seed}}, and {{m|Future Sight}}. Destiny Bond also bypasses [[Focus Sash]], {{a|Sturdy}}, and {{a|Magic Guard}}.

Destiny Bond can affect non-adjacent foes.

Destiny Bond has no effect if an ally causes the user to faint.

===Generations II to IV===
A Pokémon defeated by this move will faint before the Pokémon that used Destiny Bond.

Destiny Bond can be used as the second move of a [[Contest combination|Pokémon Contest combination]], with the user gaining 8 bonus appeal points if {{m|Curse}}, {{m|Endure}}, or {{m|Mean Look}} was used in the previous turn.

===Generations V and VI===
A Pokémon defeated by this move will now faint ''after'' the Pokémon that used Destiny Bond, meaning that if Destiny Bond is used by the last Pokémon on a player's team, and the last Pokémon on the opposing team makes it faint, the opposing player will win.

Destiny Bond can also be used as part of a [[Contest combination|Contest Spectacular combination]], with the user gaining an extra three appeal points if any of the moves {{m|Encore}}, {{m|Taunt}} or {{m|Torment}} was used in the prior turn.

===Generation VII===
Destiny Bond will always fail if it was successfully executed on the previous turn.

If powered up by a [[Ghostium Z]] into Z-Destiny Bond, the user becomes the [[center of attention]], forcing all of the opponent's moves to target the user for the turn, if possible.

===Generation VIII===
If used in a [[Max Raid Battle]], Destiny Bond will fail with the message "The move was blocked by the power of Dynamax!"

===Generation IX===
In pre-1.2.0 Versions of {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, if the user {{Tera}}stallizes the turn after using Destiny Bond, it would fail to make the attacker faint.

Destiny Bond inflicts the {{DL|Status condition (Mystery Dungeon)|Destiny Bond}} status condition on the enemy. Any damage sustained by the user will also be inflicted on the target with this status condition. This includes any self-inflicted damage from recoil. If the move is bounced back, the user will be linked to themselves. In such case, Destiny Bond will trigger if the user hurts themselves from recoil/crash damage, or a different move that was bounced back at the user. The status conditions lasts for 11{{sup/md|RB}}{{sup/md|TDS}} / 6{{sup/md|GTI}}{{sup/md|SMD}} turns.
