Effect

In battle

This Ability effect may be in need of research.
Reason: About Dazzling, Queenly Majesty, and Armor Tail:
  • Does this block an increased priority move used by:
    • The Pokémon with Dazzling targeting itself.
    • The Pokémon with Dazzling targeting an ally.
    • An ally targeting the Pokémon with Dazzling. (such as Helping Hand or even damaging moves like Quick Attack)
    • An ally targeting itself. (such as Protect or Ally Switch)
  • If a Pokémon affected by After You or Quash ignores all priorities, then would its increased priority moves like Quick Attack still be blocked or not? Alternatively, if a Pokémon is affected by After You, are all its moves blocked due to their increased priority?
  • Does this block a move with increased priority within the same priority bracket? (for instance, as a result of Quick Draw, Trick Room, Custap Berry, or Quick Claw)
  • Does this block Pursuit specifically when the Pokémon with Dazzling is switching out?
  • Does this block Grassy Glide during Grassy Terrain?
  • If the ally has an Ability that blocks certain moves, will Dazzling take precedence or will the ally's Ability activate? (examples: Ice Face, Dry Skin, Motor Drive, Sap Sipper, Bulletproof, Soundproof, Levitate, and Wonder Guard)
  • If a confused, paralyzed, or infatuated Pokémon tries to use an increased priority move against a Pokémon with Dazzling, can those status conditions activate or does Dazzling always take priority?
    You can discuss this on the talk page.

If an opponent uses a move with increased priority (including moves boosted by Prankster, Gale Wings, or Triage) that targets the Pokémon with Dazzling or its allies, Dazzling prevents the Pokémon from executing that move, after PP is deducted from it. As such, the opponent can only use a move with decreased priority or a move without any to target the Pokémon with Dazzling or its allies.

Moves that target all Pokémon (except Perish Song, Flower Shield, and Rototiller) and moves that target the opponent's side of the field cannot be blocked by Dazzling even if they become moves with increased priority. Dazzling has no effect on allies' moves with increased priority.

Status Z-Moves with increased priority will have their Z-Power effect activate. For example, if a Pokémon uses Z-Baby-Doll Eyes on a Pokémon under the effect of Dazzling, the user will still gain Defense; it will not lower the target's Attack, however.

Mold Breaker, Turboblaze, and Teravolt will ignore this Ability.

Moves with increased priority that are called using Instruct retain their original priority and are blocked by Dazzling. Moves with decreased priority and moves without any—both which are called using Instruct with increased priority (i.e.: the user with Prankster)—similarly retain their original priority and cannot be blocked.

Moves with increased priority that are called using any moves that call other moves cannot be blocked by Dazzling. If a move that calls other moves is used with increased priority, Dazzling will block the called move regardless of its original priority.

Outside of battle

Dazzling has no effect outside of battle.
