Hyper Cutter (Ability): Difference between revisions

Hyper Cutter (Japanese: かいりきバサミ Superpowerful Claws) is an ability introduced in Generation III. Nine Pokémon have this ability, all of which have powerful claws or jaws.

Effect

In battle

Hyper Cutter prevents the Attack stat from being reduced from moves such as Growl or abilities such as Intimidate.

Outside of battle

In Pokémon Emerald, using Cut will remove all tall grass within a two square radius of the player's position, as opposed to a one square radius without this ability. In Generation IV, Hyper Cutter has no effect outside of battle due to removal of cutting tall grass.
