An Inverse Battle (Japanese: ? ?) is a Pokémon battle introduced in Pokémon X and Y. During an Inverse Battle, type matchups are reversed. This type of battle is only conducted with Psychic Inver on Route 18, who can be battled once per day.

Mechanics

Any type that would be resistant or immune to another type is now weak to that type instead.

Abilities such as Sap Sipper that heal the Pokémon or boost a stat when hit by a specific type of move instead of taking damage still function normally.
