Intimidate (Japanese: いかく Intimidation) is an Ability introduced in Generation III.
Effect
In battle
Generation III
When a Pokémon with Intimidate enters the battle, it lowers the Attack stat of all adjacent opponents by one stage.
In Generations III and IV, Intimidate's activation message reads, "<Pokémon>'s Intimidate cuts <opponent>'s attack!" In Generation V, the message changed to "<Opponent>'s Attack fell!"
Intimidate has no effect on Pokémon who are immune to Attack stat reductions, such as Pokémon with Clear Body, Hyper Cutter, or White Smoke. This Ability will not affect a target with a substitute.
Generation IV onward
Intimidate now also activates when a Pokémon gains the Ability, such as via Skill Swap or Mega Evolution.
In a Triple Battle, Intimidate does not affect non-adjacent Pokémon.
Intimidate does not affect Pokémon with the Full Metal Body Ability.
Wild Pokémon are more likely to call for help when facing a Pokémon with Intimidate. It shares this effect with Pressure and Unnerve.
If a Pokémon holding an Adrenaline Orb is affected by Intimidate, the item will be consumed and increase the holder's Speed by one stage.
Outside of battle
From Pokémon Emerald onwards, if a Pokémon with Intimidate is in the first place in the party (even if fainted), there is a 50% chance it will prevent a random wild encounter that would have occurred if the wild Pokémon would be at least 5 levels lower than the Pokémon with Intimidate. It shares this effect with Keen Eye.
