Anticipation
Effect
Notifies all trainers upon entering battle if an opponent has a super-effective move, Self-Destruct, Explosion, or a one-hit KO move.
When this Pokémon enters battle, if one of its opponents has a move that is super effective against it, Self-Destruct, Explosion, or a one-hit knockout move, all participating trainers are notified.
The move itself is not revealed; only that there is such a move. Moves that inflict typeless damage, such as Future Sight, and moves of variable type, such as Hidden Power, count as their listed types. Counter, Metal Burst, Mirror Coat, and one-hit KO moves to which this Pokémon is immune do not trigger this ability.
In battle
On switch-in, this Pokemon is alerted if any opposing Pokemon has an attacking move with a type that is super effective against this Pokemon, or any OHKO move. This effect considers Hidden Power to be its determined type, and every other move to be its original type.
Main-series effects may vary by game.
