Sheer Force (ability)

by

Sheer Force is one of the many abilities that are inheritable by Pokémon.

Function

Mechanics

Sheer Force will greaten the base-power points of all multifunctional damage-dealing moves by 30% while also nullifying its subfunctional effects; for example, a Sheer Force-possessor using the Inferno technique would avail from a base-power-points boost from 100 to 130, but it would forfeit its secondary effect of automatically burning the target.

Most non-damage-dealing secondary effects are triggerable thresholds for this ability; the only caveats are self-decreasing stat-modifiers, recoil damage, power-charging turns, mutable base-power values, and a few others.
