Effect

In battle

Ability Shield prevents the holder's Ability from being changed or suppressed by any effect, even if the effect is directly caused by the holder (such as by Role Play or Trace). It also protects the holder from effects that ignore Abilities. For instance, if a Pokémon with Clear Body is holding an Ability Shield and a Pokémon with Mold Breaker uses Leer, its Defense will not be lowered.
