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.

The Pokémon is suffering from insomnia and cannot
fall asleep.

Insomnia

This Pokémon cannot have its accuracy lowered.

This ability does not prevent any accuracy losses other than stat modifiers, such as the accuracy cut from fog; nor does it prevent other Pokémon's evasion from making this Pokémon's moves less accurate.  This Pokémon can still be passed negative accuracy modifiers through heart swap.

Overworld: If the first Pokémon in the party has this ability, any random encounter with a Pokémon five or more levels lower than it has a 50% chance of being skipped.

The Pokémon's keen eyes prevent its accuracy from being lowered.

Keen Eye

This Pokémon deals twice as much damage with moves that are not very effective against the target.

The Pokémon can use “not very effective” moves to deal regular damage.
