Stench (ability)

Stench is one of the many potential abilities that are inheritable by Pokémon.

All of Stench’s potential inheritees are Poison-type Pokémon.

Function

In battle

Whenever the possessor is inflicted by a damage-dealing move, there is a 10% chance that the inflictor will flinch, thereby reprieving the possessor of any damage dealt by that move.

Stench does not stack multiplicatively with any other flinch-inducing devices, such as the King’s Rock; it will still flatline at a 10% chance even if they are used conjunctively.

Out of battle

While Stench had a repellent out-of-battle effect against potential wild-Pokémon encounters, this is not the case in Pokémon Revolution Online; its out-of-battle effect has been eschewed so that it does not disincentivize Repels as a money sinkhole.
