ABILITIES

Reverses any stat changes affecting the Pokémon so that attempts to boost its stats instead lower them—and attempts to lower its stats will boost them.

The Pokémon uses suction cups to stay in one spot. This protects it from moves and items that would force it to switch out.

Infiltrator (hidden)

The Pokémon's moves are unaffected by the target's barriers, substitutes, and the like.
