Rough Skin (Japanese: さめはだ Sharkskin) is an ability introduced in Generation III. Only 2 Pokémon have this ability, both in the same evolutionary line.

Effect

In battle

All moves that make contact with the Pokémon with Rough Skin will damage the user by 1/16 of their maximum HP after damage is dealt. In Generation IV, the damage is increased to 1/8.

In Pokémon Mystery Dungeon and the sequel, if an enemy directly in front of the Pokémon attacks it, the attacker is damaged by half of the damage done.

Outside of battle

Rough Skin has no effect outside of battle.
