Rivalry (Japanese: とうそうしん Belligerence) is an Ability introduced in Generation IV.
Effect
In battle
Generation IV
When a Pokémon with Rivalry uses an attack, the attack's power is raised by 25% if the target and the user have the same gender, and is reduced by 25% if the target and the user have opposite genders. If the user or target is genderless, the move's power is unaffected.
Unless the Pokémon is genderless, Rivalry powers up confusion damage.
Generation V onward
Rivalry no longer powers up confusion damage.
Outside of battle
Rivalry has no effect outside of battle.
