Pure Power (Japanese: ヨガパワー Yoga Power) is an Ability introduced in Generation III. It is the signature Ability of Meditite and Medicham.

Effect

In battle

Pure Power doubles the Attack stat of the Pokémon with this Ability.

Because they use Attack modifiers (except stat stages), it also doubles the user's effective Attack stat when using Foul Play or Body Press.

Outside of battle

Pure Power has no effect outside of battle.

Pure Power has a one-in-three chance of boosting a physical move (including regular attacks and items like Iron Thorn) by 50% when such an attack is used. The chance of activating appears to be lower in Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon.
