This ability functions identically to iron barbs.

The Pokémon's rough skin damages attackers that make direct contact with it.

ground

It nests in caves untouched by sunlight. Its sharp teeth may fall
out when worn away or after an impact, but they regrow within
a few days.

legends-arceus

Gible attacks anything that moves, and it drags
whatever it catches into the crevice that is its lair.
Despite the big mouth, Gible’s stomach is small.

Gible prefers to stay in narrow holes in the sides
of caves heated by geothermal energy. This way,
Gible can stay warm even during a blizzard.

Alola. If you’re planning to live with one, your
heating bill will soar.

It reacts to anything that moves—flies right at it
and bites it. Sometimes it injures itself, but it
doesn’t care too much.

ultra-sun

It skulks in caves, and when prey or an enemy
passes by, it leaps out and chomps them. The
force of its attack sometimes chips its teeth.

Even so, when the weather gets cold, it will
huddle close with others of its kind.

It nests in small, horizontal holes in cave walls.
It pounces to catch prey that stray too close.

alpha-sapphire

It nests in horizontal holes warmed by geothermal
heat. Foes who get too close can expect to be

hurts itself out of clumsiness, too.
