Static (ability)

Static is an ability introduced in Generation 3. So far, 2 Pokémon have this ability.

In battle
Moves that make contact with the Pokémon have a 30% chance to paralyze the attacker.

If a Pokémon with this Ability is hit by a multi-strike move that makes contact, each hit has an independent chance to activate this Ability.

Outside of battle
if a Pokémon with Static is in the first place in the party (even if fainted), then there is a 50% chance the game will force an encounter with an Electric-type Pokémon, if one is possible.
