Teravolt ignores the effects of {{Abilities}} that could potentially affect the damage or effects of a move that its user executes. For example, a Pokémon with Teravolt can hit opponents that possess {{a|Levitate}} by using {{m|Earthquake}}. Teravolt applies regardless of target Pokémon, but only to moves executed by its user (so if two Pokémon in a [[Double Battle]] both know Earthquake, only the Pokémon with Teravolt can hit a Pokémon with Levitate).
{{main|Ignoring Abilities}}
 
When a Pokémon with Teravolt uses a move, the effects of all Pokémon's {{DL|Ignoring Abilities|ignorable Abilities}} are ignored for the execution of that move. (Ignorable Abilities are most Abilities that could potentially negatively affect the success, damage, or effects of a move if possessed by the target of a move or its allies.) For example, a Pokémon with Teravolt that uses {{m|Earthquake}} can hit opponents that have {{a|Levitate}}.
Teravolt ignores all ignorable Abilities, not only the targets'—including the user's allies'. For example, if a Pokémon with Teravolt uses {{m|Spore}} on a Pokémon whose ally has {{a|Sweet Veil}}, the target will still fall {{status|sleep|asleep}}. Likewise, if a Pokémon with Teravolt uses {{m|Thunderbolt}} targeting an opponent while its own ally has {{a|Lightning Rod}}, it will still use the move on its original target. This also means that a Pokémon with Teravolt will not gain {{stat|Attack}} due to an ally's {{a|Flower Gift}}.
 
The Abilities are only ignored while the move is being executed. They take effect again immediately after its execution.
* Abilities that prevent status conditions (such as {{a|Immunity}} and {{a|Oblivious}}) will not protect the Pokémon from receiving the status condition. However, many of these Abilities also have effects to cure the Pokémon of the status condition if afflicted, which will activate immediately after being inflicted with the status condition, even if it was inflicted by a Pokémon with Teravolt.
* If a Pokémon with {{a|Own Tempo}} consumes a held {{cat|Berries that may cause confusion|Berry that may cause confusion}} in response to the move of a Pokémon with Teravolt, it will become confused if it dislikes the [[flavor]]. However, Own Tempo will then activate and cure it of confusion.
 
If a Pokémon with Teravolt forces a Pokémon to switch in by using a {{cat|Moves that switch the target out|move that switches the target out}} (such as {{m|Roar}} or {{m|Dragon Tail}}), ignorable Abilities are ignored when applying [[entry hazard]]s. For example, a Pokémon with {{a|Levitate}} switched in this way will be affected by {{m|Spikes}} and {{m|Toxic Spikes}} (unless it is also [[grounded|ungrounded]] for other reasons); if a {{type|Poison}} Pokémon with Levitate is switched in this way, it will remove Toxic Spikes from its side of the field (unless it is also ungrounded for other reasons).


When a Pokémon with Teravolt is brought out, the message "'''<name> is radiating a bursting aura!'''" will be displayed.

Main article: Ignoring Abilities

When a Pokémon with Teravolt uses a move, the effects of all Pokémon's ignorable Abilities are ignored for the execution of that move. (Ignorable Abilities are most Abilities that could potentially negatively affect the success, damage, or effects of a move if possessed by the target of a move or its allies.) For example, a Pokémon with Teravolt that uses Earthquake can hit opponents that have Levitate.

When a Pokémon with Teravolt is brought out, the message "<name> is radiating a bursting aura!" will be displayed.

Generation VIII onward

Teravolt no longer ignores Dark Aura and Fairy Aura, though it will still ignore Aura Break.

Outside of battle

Teravolt has no effect outside of battle.
