Motor Drive (ability)

Motor Drive is an Ability introduced in Generation IV.

In battle
When a Pokémon with Motor Drive is hit by an -type move, its Speed is increased by one stage, and the move will have no effect on that Pokémon.

Multi-strike moves that are turned into Electric-type moves, such as by being affected by  or, will only activate this Ability once. Motor Drive will not activate if the Pokémon is protected from the Electric-type move.

If a Pokémon with Motor Drive is holding a Cell Battery, Motor Drive absorbs the move so the Cell Battery's effect is not triggered.

Outside of battle
Motor Drive has no effect outside of battle.
