Emergency Exit (Japanese: ききかいひ Crisis Prevention) is an Ability introduced in Generation VII. It is the signature Ability of Golisopod.
Effect
In battle
When a Pokémon with Emergency Exit drops below half of its full HP in battle, it will flee in wild battles, or switch out in Trainer battles. It can only activate when a Pokémon's HP falls from above half to below half; if it does not activate at that time, it will not activate at all (unless the Pokémon with this Ability restores HP).
Emergency Exit will not activate if the Pokémon's HP falls below half due to hurting itself in confusion, hail, sandstorm or using Substitute or Belly Drum, but it will activate if the HP falls below half from Spikes or Stealth Rock damage. This Ability does not activate until after Shell Bell and Berries such as the Sitrus Berry have had a chance to cause recovery, but even if a Pokémon fell below half HP and immediately rose back above half due to one of those effects, Emergency Exit will still activate in its due turn, and cause the Pokémon to retreat.
Emergency Exit will not activate if the Pokémon's HP falls below half by a move affected by Sheer Force.
It will activate only after the last hit of multi-strike moves, even if the HP of the Pokémon with this Ability drops below half before the last hit. If this Ability activates due to being hit by U-turn or Volt Switch, the user of that move will not be switched out. This Ability will not activate if the Pokémon's HP falls below half while it is in the air during the semi-invulnerable turn of Sky Drop.
Trapping moves do not prevent Emergency Exit from activating.
If the Pokémon with Emergency Exit holds a Red Card or Eject Button, the item activates first. Dragon Tail and Circle Throw switch out Pokémon before the Ability activates.
Emergency Exit will not activate on the player's Pokémon in wild battles during trials.
Outside of battle
Emergency Exit has no effect outside of battle.
