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, Cramorant catches prey and changes its form depending on its remaining HP.
If its HP is over half, it catches an Arrokuda and changes into its Gulping Form. If hit by an attack in this form, Cramorant spits out Arrokuda at the attacker, dealing damage equal to ¼ of the attacker's maximum HP and lowering the attacker's Defense stat by one stage. If the attacker has Magic Guard, it'll take no damage, but still trigger the cutscene and take the defense drop/paralysis.
If its HP is under half, it catches a Pikachu and changes into its Gorging Form. If hit by an attack in this form, Cramorant spits out Pikachu at the attacker, dealing damage equal to ¼ of the attacker's maximum HP and paralyzing the attacker.
If Cramorant Dynamaxes while it has a catch in its mouth, it reverts to its base form (without spitting its catch). Even if a Dynamaxed Cramorant uses Surf or Dive (only possible as a wild Pokémon in a Max Raid Battle), it will not change into its Gulping or Gorging Form.
Gastro Acid, Worry Seed, and Simple Beam fail if the target has Gulp Missile. Role Play, Skill Swap, and Entrainment fail if either Pokémon has Gulp Missile. Gulp Missile cannot be copied by Trace.
Outside of battle
Gulp Missile has no effect outside of battle.
