Ability field guide

Iron Fist

Strengthens punch-based moves to 1.2× their power.

How it works

Moves flagged as being punch-based have 1.2× their base power for this Pokémon.

Sucker Punch is not flagged as punch-based; its original, Japanese name only means "surprise attack".

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

Pokémon have abilities naturally. Hidden abilities use special availability rules that depend on the game.
