Super Luck (Ability)

Super Luck (Japanese: きょううん Good Luck) is an ability introduced in Generation IV. Nine Pokémon can have this ability.

In battle

Super Luck enables the user to critical hit twice as often as normal. The critical hit multiplier is applied before critical hit bonuses from items, so item modifiers are not doubled.

Outside of battle

Super Luck has no effect outside of battle.
