Motor Drive (Japanese: でんきエンジン Electric Engine) is an Ability introduced in Generation IV. All Pokémon that have this Ability are Electric types. Prior to Generation V, it was the signature Ability of Electivire.
Effect
In battle
When a Pokémon with Motor Drive is hit by an Electric-type move, its Speed is increased by one stage, and the move will have no effect on that Pokémon.
Motor Drive will not activate if the Pokémon is protected from the Electric-type move.
If a Pokémon with Motor Drive is holding a Cell Battery, Motor Drive absorbs the move so the Cell Battery's effect is not triggered.
Outside of battle
Motor Drive has no effect outside of battle.
