Gulp Missile (Ability)

Gulp Missile (Japanese: うのミサイル Gulp Missile) is an Ability introduced in Generation VIII. It is the signature Ability of Cramorant.

Effect

In battle

After Cramorant uses Surf or Dive, if its HP is over half, it catches an Arrokuda and changes into its Gulping Form. If its HP is under half, it instead catches a Pikachu and changes into its Gorging Form. If it is hit by an attack while in either form, Cramorant spits out its catch at the attacker, dealing damage equal to ¼ of the attacker's maximum HP.

If Cramorant is hit in its Gulping Form, Gulp Missile additionally lowers the attacker's Defense stat by one stage. If Cramorant is hit in its Gorging Form, Gulp Missile instead additionally paralyzes the attacker.

If Cramorant undergoes Dynamax while it has a catch in its mouth, it reverts to its original form, losing its catch without causing any damage or other effects. Since it can only use Max Moves during this time, not Surf or Dive, it will not be able to obtain a new catch until the Dynamax duration is over.

Role Play, Gastro Acid, Worry Seed, and Simple Beam fail if the target has Gulp Missile. Skill Swap and Entrainment fail if either Pokémon has Gulp Missile. Gulp Missile cannot be copied by Trace.
