Mold Breaker (Japanese: かたやぶり Mold-Breaking) is an Ability introduced in Generation IV.
Effect
In battle
When a Pokémon with Mold Breaker uses a move, the effects of all ignorable Abilities (i.e. Abilities that could potentially affect the damage or effects of a move that its user executes) are ignored for the execution of that move. For example, a Pokémon with Mold Breaker that uses Earthquake can hit opponents that have Levitate.
Mold Breaker ignores all ignorable Abilities, not only the targets'—including the user's allies'. For example, if a Pokémon with Mold Breaker uses Spore on a Pokémon whose ally has Sweet Veil, the target will still fall asleep. Likewise, if a Pokémon with Mold Breaker uses Thunderbolt targeting an opponent while its own ally has Lightning Rod, it will still use the move on its original target.
The Abilities are only ignored while the move is being executed. They take effect again immediately after its execution.
- Abilities that prevent status conditions (such as Immunity and Oblivious) will not protect the Pokémon from receiving the status condition. However, many of these Abilities also have effects to cure the Pokémon of the status condition if afflicted, which will activate immediately after being inflicted with the status condition, even if it was inflicted by a Pokémon with Mold Breaker.
- If a Pokémon with Own Tempo consumes a held Berry that may cause confusion in response to the move of a Pokémon with Mold Breaker, it will become confused if it dislikes the flavor. However, Own Tempo will then activate and cure it of confusion.
In Generation IV, when a Pokémon with Mold Breaker is brought out, the message "<name> has Mold Breaker!" is displayed. From Generation V onward, when a Pokémon with Mold Breaker is brought out, the message "<name> breaks the mold!" is displayed.
Generation IV
Flower Gift will increase the Attack of allies with Mold Breaker, even when they are attacking the ally with Flower Gift.
Generation V onward
If a Pokémon with Mold Breaker forces a Pokémon to switch in by using a move that switches the target out (such as Roar or Dragon Tail), ignorable Abilities are ignored when applying entry hazards. For example, a Pokémon with Levitate switched in this way will be affected by Spikes and Toxic Spikes (unless it is also ungrounded for other reasons); if a Poison-type Pokémon with Levitate is switched in this way, it will remove Toxic Spikes from its side of the field (unless it is also ungrounded for other reasons).
If a Pokémon with Mold Breaker attacks, it does not gain Attack due to an ally's Flower Gift.
Abilities affected
Mold Breaker ignores the following Abilities, even in situations where the target's Ability could increase the power of a move if it weren't ignored (such as using Low Kick on a Pokémon with Heavy Metal or using a Fire-type move on a Pokémon with Dry Skin):
