Swarm

Strengthens Bug moves to inflict 1.5× damage at 1/3 max HP or less.

How it works

When this Pokémon has 1/3 or less of its HP remaining, its Bug-type moves inflict 1.5× as much regular damage.

Overworld: If the lead Pokémon has this ability, the wild encounter rate is increased.

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