Sturdy (Japanese: がんじょう Sturdy) is an ability introduced in Generation III. Thirty-two Pokémon have this Ability.
Effect
In battle
Generations III and IV
Sturdy negates one-hit knockout moves.
Generation V
In addition to Sturdy's previous effect, Sturdy now works like a Focus Sash, causing the Pokémon to have 1 HP remaining if an attack's hit would have brought it from full health to 0 HP. Sturdy will activate as long as a Pokémon has full HP, and can therefore be used multiple times if brought back to full health. If a Pokémon with Sturdy is holding a Focus Sash, Sturdy will activate first. Final Gambit will not faint a Pokémon with Sturdy.
Multi-hit moves can break through Sturdy, like the Focus Sash. When a multi-hit move hits a Pokémon with Sturdy, Sturdy's effect activates only for the move's first hit, not the entire move.
Outside of battle
Sturdy has no effect outside of battle.

Trivia
