Sturdy

Essentials

Sturdy

Generation 3

Summary

Prevents being KOed from full HP, leaving 1 HP instead. Protects against the one-hit KO moves regardless of HP.

Effect

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.

History

Before: Does not prevent regular KOs from full HP.
