Turboblaze (Japanese: ターボブレイズ Turboblaze) is an Ability introduced in Generation V. It is the signature Ability of Reshiram and White Kyurem.
Effect
In battle
Turboblaze 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 Turboblaze can hit opponents that possess Levitate by using Earthquake. Turboblaze 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 Turboblaze can hit a Pokémon with Levitate).
Unlike Gastro Acid, which completely negates a target's Ability, the opponents' Abilities otherwise remain in effect:
- Abilities that prevent status conditions (such as Immunity and 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 are not negated by Turboblaze.
- If a Pokémon with Own Tempo consumes a held Berry that may cause confusion in response to the move of a Pokémon with Turboblaze, it will become confused if it dislikes the flavor (although Own Tempo will then activate and cure it of confusion).
Turboblaze can ignore the Abilities of Pokémon other than the target, including allies'. For example, if a Pokémon with Turboblaze uses Toxic on a Grass-type Pokémon whose ally has Flower Veil, the target will still be poisoned. Likewise, if a Pokémon with Turboblaze uses Thunderbolt targeting an opponent while its ally has Lightning Rod, it will still use the move on its original target. This also means that a Pokémon with Turboblaze will not gain Attack due to an ally's Flower Gift.
If a Pokémon with Turboblaze forces a Pokémon to switch in with a move like Roar or Dragon Tail, Abilities that affect entry hazards will be ignored if possible; if forced to switch in this way. For example, if a Pokémon with Levitate is switched in this way, it will be affected by Spikes and Toxic Spikes (unless it is otherwise ungrounded).
When a Pokémon with Turboblaze is brought out, the message "<name> is radiating a blazing aura!" will be displayed.
Abilities affected
Turboblaze ignores the following Abilities, even in situations where the Ability could increase the power of a move (such as using Low Kick on a Pokémon with Heavy Metal or using a Fire-type move on a Pokémon with Dry Skin):
Turboblaze does not ignore the effects of Aura Break, Magic Guard, Comatose, Shields Down, Full Metal Body, Shadow Shield, and Prism Armor.
Outside of battle
Turboblaze has no effect outside of battle.
