Water Veil (Japanese: みずのベール Water Veil) is an Ability introduced in Generation III. All Pokémon that have this Ability are Water types.
Effect
In battle
Water Veil prevents the Pokémon from being burned.
A Pokémon with this Ability will be cured of burn if it is burned while in battle (such as if it gains the Ability outside of battle or by an effect like Skill Swap, or is burned by a Pokémon with an Ability like Mold Breaker). If the Pokémon is holding a Rawst Berry or a Lum Berry, it will be eaten before Water Veil cures the Pokémon of burn.
Generation III
If a burned Pokémon with Water Veil is sent into battle as one of the lead Pokémon or to replace a fainted Pokémon, it will not be cured of burn until after a Pokémon takes its turn (uses a move, switches out, etc.). It will be cured of burn if it is switched in to replace a switched out Pokémon.
If a burned Pokémon has Water Veil as its original Ability but not its current Ability, it will remain burned when switched out.
Generation IV
There is no known way for a burned Pokémon with Water Veil to enter battle.
If a burned Pokémon has Water Veil as its original Ability but not its current Ability, if it is one of the active Pokémon at the end of the battle or switched out, it will be cured of burn (with no message).
Generation V onward
If a burned Pokémon has Water Veil as its original Ability but not its current Ability, it will remain burned when switched out.
Outside of battle
If a burned Pokémon gains Water Veil by evolution or the Ability Capsule, it will not be cured of burn until sent into battle. Pokémon with Water Veil will not be burned by the Gentleman's Kirlia or Dusclops in the Battle Pike nor the Battle Arcade's game board.
