Lightning
Skill
Leaves the foe paralyzed for a short period of time.

Lightning (Japanese: ライトニング Lightning) is a skill in Pokémon Shuffle.

Activation

Certain types are immune to paralysis. Immunities are indicated by X's in the chart below:

Status condition effectiveness
Condition Defender's type
Normal Fighting Flying Poison Ground Rock Bug Ghost Steel Fire Water Grass Electric Psychic Ice Dragon Dark Fairy
Paralyzed

If a Pokémon is immune to paralysis, or already has any status condition, then this skill will not activate.

Effect

Bellossom is paralyzed

When activated, this skill inflicts paralysis for 1 move.

A paralyzed Pokémon cannot use any disruptions, and its disruption countdown is paused.

Note that a foe's current status condition will tick down its duration after a move is made, but before the second hit onwards of the move's resulting combo. This can result in the status effect being active for the first match of the combo, but being inactive for the subsequent matches in the same combo.

  • Since this skill inflicts a 1-turn status effect, this issue will always occur if attempting to activate Paralysis Combo or Relentless off of it. The skill can activate, but the enemy's paralysis will fade before the second hit of the combo, meaning the damage boost no longer applies.

Skill level growth

Increasing skill level will increase the damage dealt by the initial match.
