Makes the holder ungrounded and therefore immune to damaging Ground-type moves. If the holder or its substitute is hit by a damaging move, the Air Balloon is destroyed. A message is displayed when a Pokémon is sent into battle while holding an Air Balloon (if its effect is not negated). An Air Balloon also prevents the holder from gaining any benefits from Terrain
The Air Balloon does not make the holder ungrounded while Gravity is in effect or if it is under the effect of Ingrain, Smack Down or Thousand Arrows (but this does not prevent it from bursting).
An Air Balloon will not burst while Magic Room is in effect, or if the holder has the Ability Klutz or is under the effect of Embargo. A burst Air Balloon cannot be recovered with Recycle or Pickup. The Air Balloon bursts before it can be stolen by Thief, Covet, or Magician.
