Skill Link (Japanese: スキルリンク Skill Link) is an Ability introduced in Generation IV. Prior to Generation V, it was the signature Ability of Shellder and Cloyster.
Effect
In battle
Generation IV
Skill Link enables multi-strike moves that hit 2-5 times per use to always strike five times.
Generation V onward
Even if the Ability is lost in the middle of move (such as via Mummy), the user will still hit the maximum number of times on the turn in progress.
Skill Link now affects the moves Triple Kick and Triple Axel, that can hit up to three times. When used by Pokémon with this Ability, there will be one accuracy check for all strikes instead of individual checks for each strike.
