While this Pokémon is in battle, self destruct and explosion will fail and aftermath will not take effect.

The Pokémon dampens its surroundings, preventing all Pokémon from using explosive moves such as Self-Destruct.

Damp

This Pokémon takes 1/8 of its maximum HP in damage after each turn during strong sunlight, but it heals for 1/8 of its HP each turn during rain.  This Pokémon takes 1.25× as much damage from fire-type moves, but whenever a water move hits it, it heals for 1/4 its maximum HP instead.

Restores the Pokémon's HP in rain or when it is hit by Water-type moves. Reduces HP in harsh sunlight, and increases the damage received from Fire-type moves.

Dry Skin

Whenever a move makes contact with this Pokémon, the move's user has a 30% chance of being paralyzed, poisoned, or put to sleep, chosen at random.

Nothing is done to compensate if the move's user is immune to one of these ailments; there is simply a lower chance that the move's user will be affected.

Contact with the Pokémon may inflict poison, sleep, or paralysis on the attacker.
