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

Contact with the Pokémon may poison the attacker.

Poison Point

This Pokémon inflicts 1.25× as much regular damage against Pokémon of the same gender and 0.75× as much regular damage against Pokémon of the opposite gender.

If either Pokémon is genderless, damage is unaffected.

The Pokémon's competitive spirit makes it deal more damage to Pokémon of the same gender, but less damage to Pokémon of the opposite gender.

Rivalry

This Pokémon's moves with extra effects have 1.3× their power, but lose their extra effects.

An effect chance is a move's chance to inflict a status ailment, cause a stat change, or make the target flinch in addition to the move's main effect. For example, thunder shock's paralysis is an extra effect, but thunder wave's is not, nor are knock off's item removal and air cutter's increased critical hit rate.

Moves that lower the user's stats are unaffected.

Removes any additional effects from the Pokémon's moves, but increases the moves' power.
