Insomnia

Prevents sleep.

How it works

This Pokémon cannot be asleep.

This causes Rest to fail altogether. If a Pokémon is asleep and acquires this ability, it will immediately wake up; this includes when regaining a lost ability upon leaving battle.

This ability functions identically to Vital Spirit in battle.

Effects can vary between games. This is the synced main-series reference; check the rules of the game you are playing.
