    Evolution

    This Pokémon does not evolve.

    Abilities

    Sturdy

    When this Pokémon is at full HP, any hit that would knock it out will instead leave it with 1 HP. Regardless of its current HP, it is also immune to the one-hit KO moves: Fissure, Guillotine, Horn Drill, and Sheer Cold. If this Pokémon is holding a Focus Sash, this ability takes precedence and the item will not be consumed.

    Inner Focus

    This Pokémon cannot flinch.

    Mold BreakerHidden

    This Pokémon's moves completely ignore abilities that could hinder or prevent their effect on the target. For example, this Pokémon's moves ignore abilities that would fully negate them, such as Water Absorb; abilities that would prevent any of their effects, such as Clear Body, Shell Armor, or Sticky Hold; and abilities that grant any general protective benefit, such as Simple, Snow Cloak, or Thick Fat. If an ability could either hinder or help this Pokémon's moves, e.g. Dry Skin or Unaware, the ability is ignored either way. Abilities that do not fit this description, even if they could hinder moves in some other way, are not affected. For example, Cursed Body only affects potential future uses of the move, while Liquid Ooze and Shadow Tag can only hinder a move's effect on the user. This ablity cannot ignore type or form changes granted by abilities, for example Color Change or Forecast; nor effects that were caused by abilities but are no longer tied to an ability, such as the rain from Drizzle. This ability cannot ignore Multitype at all. An ability ignored by this ability is only nullified while the move is being used. For example, this Pokémon's moves can paralyze a Pokémon with Limber, but Limber will activate and heal the paralysis immediately thereafter, and this Pokémon's Spikes are not affected by this ability after they have been placed. When this Pokémon enters battle, all participating trainers are notified that it has this ability. This ability functions identically to Teravolt and Turboblaze.

    Sword

    The karate chops of a Sawk that’s trained itself to the limit can cleave the ocean itself.

    Shield

    Tying their belts gets them pumped and makes their punches more destructive. Disturbing their training angers them.

    Alpha Sapphire · Y · White

    Desiring the strongest karate chop, they seclude themselves in mountains and train without sleeping.

    Omega Ruby · X · Black 2 · White 2

    The sound of Sawk punching boulders and trees can be heard all the way from the mountains where they train.
