Whenever a move makes contact with this Pokémon, the move's user has a 30% chance of being paralyzed.

Pokémon that are immune to electric-type moves can still be paralyzed by this ability.

Overworld: If the lead Pokémon has this ability, there is a 50% chance that encounters will be with an electric Pokémon, if applicable.

The Pokémon is charged with static electricity and may paralyze attackers that make direct contact with it.

Static

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 insomnia in battle.

Overworld: If the lead Pokémon has this ability, higher-levelled Pokémon have their encounter rate increased.

The Pokémon is full of vitality, and that prevents it from falling asleep.
