Static

Has a 30% chance of paralyzing attacking Pokémon on contact.

How it works

Whenever a move makes contact with this Pokémon, the move's user has a 30% chance of being paralyzed.

Pokémon that are immune to Electric-type moves can still be paralyzed by this ability.

Overworld: If the lead Pokémon has this ability, there is a 50% chance that encounters will be with an Electric Pokémon, if applicable.

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