sword: Its search for food sometimes leads it onto land, where it leaves behind a sticky trail of slime as it passes through.

Base Stats

Habitat

Abilities

• sticky-hold

  This Pokémon's hold item cannot be removed by other Pokémon. Damaging moves that would remove this Pokémon's item can still inflict damage against this Pokémon, e.g. knock off or pluck. This Pokémon can still use moves that involve the loss of its own item, e.g. fling or trick. Overworld: If the lead Pokémon has this ability, the encounter rate while fishing is increased.

• storm-drain

  All other Pokémon's single-target water-type moves are redirected to this Pokémon, if it is an eligible target. Other Pokémon's Water moves raise this Pokémon's Special Attack one stage, negating any other effect on it, and cannot miss it. If the move's intended target also has this ability, the move is not redirected. When multiple Pokémon with this ability are possible targets for redirection, the move is redirected to the one with the highest Speed stat, or, in the case of a tie, to a random tied Pokémon. follow me takes precedence over this ability.

• sand-force

  During a sandstorm, this Pokémon's rock-, ground-, and steel-type moves have 1.3× their base power. This Pokémon does not take sandstorm damage, regardless of type.
