Abilities

Passive Ability

	Pressure プレッシャー Pressure
Description Whenever one of the Pokémon's moves hit opposing Pokémon, pressure increases (up to 3 times maximum). The Pokémon's next basic attack consumes all built-up pressure, dealing additional damage to opposing Pokémon and restoring its own HP.

Basic Attack

	Damage category: Special (as a basic attack)
	Damage category: Special (as a boosted attack)
Description After a set amount of time passes, the next basic attack changes depending on its target. If the target is a wild Pokémon, the basic attack deals increased damage. If the target is a Pokémon from the opposing team, the basic attack becomes a boosted attack, dealing damage to the Pokémon it hits and leaving them unable to act.
