Illuminate (Japanese: はっこう Luminescence) is an Ability introduced in Generation III. Six Pokémon can have this Ability.
Effect
In battle
Illuminate has no effect during battle.
In Pokémon Mystery Dungeon and the sequel, a Pokémon with Illuminate "blinks" after a turn in which it was damaged. The "blink" summons a hostile Pokémon somewhere on the floor.
Outside of battle
If a Pokémon with Illuminate is leading the party, the wild Pokémon encounter rate is increased to 200%. It shares this trait with Arena Trap.
