Gorilla Tactics (Japanese: ごりむちゅう Obsessed Gorilla) is an Ability introduced in Generation VIII. It is the signature Ability of Galarian Darmanitan.

Effect

In battle

Gorilla Tactics boosts the Pokémon's Attack by 50%, but limits the Pokémon to using only one move, similar to the Choice Band. This effect stacks with Choice items, meaning a Pokémon with this Ability and a Choice Band will have its Attack boosted to 225%.

Gorilla Tactics temporarily stops working if the user is Dynamaxed.

Outside of battle

Gorilla Tactics has no effect outside of battle.
