Version history

Version Release date Changes

  • old: "Can delay your opponent's disruptions for a turn."
  • new: "Delays your opponent's disruptions."

Trivia

  • Possession's activation rate at max skill level (73%) is a prime number. This follows a pattern on Ultra Beasts in the core series, where their base stats and the levels at which they learn moves are prime numbers.
