Suction Cups (ability)
Effect
Suction Cups prevents opponents forcing the ability-bearer to switch out or flee via the moves Roar, Whirlwind, Circle Throw, or Dragon Tail, or the item Red Card.
Outside of battle
If a Pokémon with Suction Cups is the leading party Pokémon, the chance of hooking a Pokémon during fishing increases.
