| 0 | Any such move not listed |
In battle
On switch-in, this Pokemon is alerted to the move with the highest power, at random, known by an opposing Pokemon. This effect considers OHKO moves to have 150 power, Counter, Mirror Coat, and Metal Burst to have 120 power, every other attacking move with an unspecified power to have 80 power, and non-damaging moves to have 1 power.
Main-series effects may vary by game.
