== {{m|Explosion}} & {{m|Selfdestruct}} ==
These two moves cause the user to faint upon using them, but, does the user's Sturdy prevent it from fully fainting?
[[User:JetanHertz13|JetanHertz13]] 19:02, 11 December 2009 (UTC)
:No, Pokémon with Sturdy will still faint if their HP is reduced to 0 by means other than OHKO moves. {{a|Damp}} is the ability that negates explosive moves. &mdash;'''<span style="font-family:Verdana"><span style="color:#000">darklord</span>[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|<span style="color:#0047AB">trom</span>]]</span>''' 22:18, 13 December 2009 (UTC)

== Question ==

I have a question.  Does Sturdy still give an immunity to moves like Fissure and Sheer Cold in Black and White? [[User:Pokemon champ|Pokemon champ]] 08:58, 8 January 2011 (UTC)
: Never mind I found out myself, sorry for the stupid question. [[User:Pokemon champ|Pokemon champ]] 09:01, 8 January 2011 (UTC)

== Potential Trivia ==

Is it worth mentioning that 23 out of the 32 Pokémon that can have this ability (I think i counted correctly) are at least part Rock-type? I see this as being a blatant reference to a rock's strength and resilience ie sturdiness. [[User:Oshawhat?|Oshawhat?]] 17:41, 20 February 2011 (UTC)

== Recoil ==

If someone with Sturdy does enough damage with a move like {{m|Head Smash}} to OHKO themself, will they still faint or will Sturdy kick in? Example, it an Aggron uses Head Smash and OHKOs a Blissey with 700 HP, the recoil Aggron takes will always be enough to OHKO itself; will Sturdy kick in or will Aggron go down anyway?

:According to Smogon, [http://www.smogon.com/bw/abilities/sturdy it "Does not protect the holder from OHKOing itself from recoil damage."] --[[User:Abcboy|Abcboy]] ([[User talk:Abcboy|talk]]) 01:29, 29 October 2012 (UTC)
::All right, thanks. I see you've already added to the article already. [[User:Dimenticare|Dimenticare]] ([[User talk:Dimenticare|talk]]) 03:12, 29 October 2012 (UTC)

== Multi-hit moves. ==

What about Shedinja? It always has max HP, so would they still ignore, or would it work? It says "activate for every attack", but is that implying like every hit or just the first hit, as the main section says? [[User:Marked +-+-+|Marked +-+-+]] ([[User talk:Marked +-+-+|talk]]) 17:00, 6 April 2013 (UTC)
:The main section also says "''Sturdy will activate as long as a Pokémon has full HP''", so yes, Sturdy Shedinja does survive every hit of a multi-hit move.--'''[[User:Dennou Zenshi|<font color="#AB0909">電</font><font color="#063A73">禅</font>]]<small>[[User talk:Dennou Zenshi|<font color="#fff" face="Tahoma"><span style="text-shadow:#000 0.2em 0.1em 0.1em; class=texhtml">Den Zen</span></font>]]</small>''' 17:10, 6 April 2013 (UTC)

== Additional trivia? ==

Is it worth noting that most Pokemon with this ability have one or more double weaknesses? --[[User:Terry152|Terry152]] ([[User talk:Terry152|talk]]) 09:16, 13 September 2013 (UTC)
:No. You can see it for yourself on the page. We try to avoid stating information in trivia when it's already present on the page. Plus, ''most'' is not notable in any regards.

== Sturdy Shedinja ==
Does Sturdy activate if the Pokémon only has a maximum of 1HP in the first place? Such as if Shedinja was Worry Seeded and then Skill Swapped? Regardless of the example, I think that information belongs on the page. [[User:Me, Hurray!|Me, Hurray!]] ([[User talk:Me, Hurray!|talk]]) 14:23, 30 May 2017 (UTC)
:According to [[Shedinja (Pokémon)#1 HP trivia]], yes, it does activate. As for whether it belongs on this page, eh... from a quick glance at some of the other things in that "1 HP trivia" section, it seems like we're inconsistent ({{m|Substitute}} mentions Shedinja's weird interaction, but [[Super Training]] and {{DL|In-battle effect item|Focus Sash}} don't). I'm on the fence about whether it belongs on all the pages or none of them, but whatever we do, we should be consistent.

::Um, guys, there's more than Trivia. It's right in the Effect section, and I think it's very sensible where it is. [[User:Nescientist|Nescientist]] ([[User talk:Nescientist|talk]]) 20:06, 30 May 2017 (UTC)
:::Ah, sorry, didn't mean to imply I was talking about adding it to any kind of trivia section. I just wasn't looking and trusted Me, Hurray when they implied it wasn't already in this page's effects section.

==Most Common Ability==
On both this page and on the page for {{a|Swift Swim}}, the Trivia explains that more Pokémon have this ability than any other. But only one of them can be true. Can someone find out which one it is? Thanks [[User:The IceCream|The IceCream]] ([[User talk:The IceCream|talk]]) 18:15, 6 January 2018 (UTC)
:Sounds like a simple matter of counting the number of table entries, which you could have done on your own. This page has 41 entries and Swift Swim's has 39, so I'm removing the trivium from Swift Swim. Probably somebody just forgot to remove it from that page when Sturdy overtook it in Generation 7.
