Intimidate
How it works
When this Pokémon enters battle, the opponent's Attack is lowered by one stage. In a double battle, both opponents are affected.
This ability also takes effect when acquired during a battle, but will not take effect again if lost and reobtained without leaving battle.
This ability has no effect on an opponent that has a Substitute.
Overworld: If the first Pokémon in the party has this ability, any random encounter with a Pokémon five or more levels lower than it has a 50% chance of being skipped.
Effects can vary between games. This is the synced main-series reference; check the rules of the game you are playing.
