Abilities

Lightning Rod

All other Pokémon's single-target Electric-type moves are redirected to this Pokémon if it is an eligible target. Other Pokémon's Electric moves raise this Pokémon's Special Attack one stage, negating any other effect on it, and cannot miss it. If the move's intended target also has this ability, the move is not redirected. When multiple Pokémon with this ability are possible targets for redirection, the move is redirected to the one with the highest Speed stat, or, in the case of a tie, to a random tied Pokémon. Follow Me takes precedence over this ability. If the Pokémon is a Ground-type and thus immune to Electric moves, its immunity prevents the Special Attack boost.

Rock Head

This Pokémon does not receive recoil damage from its recoil moves. Struggle's recoil is unaffected. This ability does not prevent crash damage from missing with Jump Kick or High Jump Kick.

RecklessHidden

This Pokémon's recoil moves and crash moves have 1.2× their base power. Struggle is unaffected. The "crash moves" are the moves that damage the user upon missing: Jump Kick and High Jump Kick.
