Effect

In battle

Wonder Skin lowers the accuracy of status moves used against the Pokémon with this Ability to 50%. If the move's accuracy is already 50% or less, it does not change. Other effects may still be able to modify the accuracy after Wonder Skin's effect.

Wonder Skin does not affect moves without an accuracy check, or moves used by Pokémon with Mold Breaker, Teravolt, or Turboblaze.

Outside of battle

Wonder Skin has no effect outside of battle.
