    Abilities

    Insomnia

    This Pokémon cannot be asleep. This causes Rest to fail altogether. If a Pokémon is asleep and acquires this ability, it will immediately wake up; this includes when regaining a lost ability upon leaving battle. This ability functions identically to Vital Spirit in battle.

    StakeoutHidden

    This Pokémon's moves have double power against Pokémon that switched in this turn.

    Pokédex entries

    The ball of threads wrapped around its body is elastic enough to deflect the scythes of Scyther, this Pokémon’s natural enemy.

    Scarlet

    The thread it secretes from its rear is as strong as wire. The secret behind the thread’s strength is the topic of ongoing research.
