When this Pokémon enters battle, the opponent's Attack is lowered by one stage.  In a double battle, both opponents are affected.

This ability also takes effect when acquired during a battle, but will not take effect again if lost and reobtained without leaving battle.

This ability has no effect on an opponent that has a substitute.

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.

When the Pokémon enters a battle, it intimidates opposing Pokémon and makes them cower, lowering their Attack stats.

Intimidate

This Pokémon's Speed is doubled during a sandstorm, and it does not take sandstorm damage, regardless of type.

Boosts the Pokémon's Speed stat in a sandstorm.

Sand Rush

This Pokémon ignores ghost-type Pokémon's immunity to normal- and fighting-type moves.

Ghost Pokémon's other types affect damage as usual.

The Pokémon can hit Ghost-type Pokémon with Normal- and Fighting-type moves. It is also unaffected by Intimidate.
