'''Teravolt''' (Japanese: '''テラボルテージ''' ''Teravoltage'') is an [[Ability]] introduced in [[Generation V]]. It is the [[signature Ability]] of {{p|Zekrom}} and {{p|Kyurem|Black Kyurem}}.


==Effect==
==Effect==
===In battle===
===In battle===
Teravolt ignores the effects of {{Abilities}} that could potentially affect the damage or effects of a move that its user executes. For example, a Pokémon with Teravolt can hit opponents that possess {{a|Levitate}} by using {{m|Earthquake}}. Teravolt applies regardless of target Pokémon, but only to moves executed by its user (so if two Pokemon in a [[Double Battle]] both know Earthquake, only the Pokémon with Teravolt can hit a Pokémon with Levitate).
{{main|Ignoring Abilities}}
When a Pokémon with Teravolt uses a move, the effects of all Pokémon's {{DL|Ignoring Abilities|ignorable Abilities}} are ignored for the execution of that move. (Ignorable Abilities are most Abilities that could potentially negatively affect the success, damage, or effects of a move if possessed by the target of a move or its allies.) For example, a Pokémon with Teravolt that uses {{m|Thunder}} can hit opponents that have {{a|Lightning Rod}}.


Unlike {{m|Gastro Acid}}, which completely negates a target's Ability, the opponents' Abilities otherwise remain in effect:
When a Pokémon with Teravolt is brought out, the message "'''<name> is radiating a bursting aura!'''" will be displayed.
* Abilities that prevent status conditions (such as {{a|Immunity}} and {{a|Oblivious}}) will not protect the Pokémon from receiving the status condition; however, many of these Abilities also have effects to cure the Pokémon of the status condition if afflicted, which are not negated by Teravolt.
* Abilities that draw attacks to the user, such as {{a|Lightning Rod}} and {{a|Storm Drain}}, will still divert attacks in [[Double Battle|Double]] or [[Triple Battle]]s regardless of Teravolt, but will not nullify the damage or boost the Pokémon's stats.


If a Pokémon with Teravolt forces a Pokémon to switch in with a move like {{m|Roar}} or {{m|Dragon Tail}}, immunities to [[entry hazard]]s due to Abilities will be negated (except {{a|Magic Guard}}). If forced to switch in this way:
====Generation VIII onward====
* Pokémon with {{a|Levitate}} will be affected by {{m|Spikes}} and {{m|Toxic Spikes}}, unless they are {{type|Flying}} or holding an [[Air Balloon]].
Teravolt no longer ignores {{a|Dark Aura}} and {{a|Fairy Aura}}, though it will still ignore {{a|Aura Break}}.
** {{type|Poison}} Pokémon with Levitate can remove Toxic Spikes, if they are not Flying-type and not holding an Air Balloon.
* Pokémon with {{a|Immunity}} will be {{status|poison}}ed by Toxic Spikes (although Immunity will then activate and cure them of poison).
* Pokémon with {{a|Leaf Guard}} will be {{status|poison}}ed by Toxic Spikes even during [[intense sunlight]].
 
When a Pokémon with Teravolt is brought out, the message "'''<name> is radiating a blazing aura!'''" will be displayed.
 
===Abilities affected===
Teravolt ignores the following Abilities, even in situations where the Ability could increase the power of a move (such as using {{m|Low Kick}} on a Pokemon with {{a|Heavy Metal}} or using a {{type|Fire}} move on a Pokémon with {{a|Dry Skin}}):

Effect

In battle

Main article: Ignoring Abilities

When a Pokémon with Teravolt uses a move, the effects of all Pokémon's ignorable Abilities are ignored for the execution of that move. (Ignorable Abilities are most Abilities that could potentially negatively affect the success, damage, or effects of a move if possessed by the target of a move or its allies.) For example, a Pokémon with Teravolt that uses Thunder can hit opponents that have Lightning Rod.

When a Pokémon with Teravolt is brought out, the message "<name> is radiating a bursting aura!" will be displayed.

Generation VIII onward

Teravolt no longer ignores Dark Aura and Fairy Aura, though it will still ignore Aura Break.

Outside of battle

Teravolt has no effect outside of battle.
