If a Pokémon has Telepathy, it will not take damage from its teammates' moves in [[double battle|double]] and [[triple battle]]s.
A Pokémon with Telepathy avoids damaging moves used by its allies. This includes attacks with multiple targets (such as {{m|Discharge}}), as well as attacks exclusively targeting an ally with Telepathy (such as {{m|Thunderbolt}}).
