Immunity (ability)

Immunity is an Ability introduced in Generation III.

In battle
Prevents the Pokémon from getting poisoned.

A Pokémon with this Ability will be cured of poison if it is poisoned while in battle (such as if it gains the Ability outside of battle or by an effect like, or is poisoned by a Pokémon with an Ability like ).

If a poisoned Pokémon with Immunity is sent into battle as one of the lead Pokémon or to replace a fainted Pokémon, or gains Immunity due to, it will not be cured of poison until after a Pokémon takes its turn (uses a move, switches out, etc.). It will be cured of poison if it is switched in to replace a switched out Pokémon.

If a poisoned Pokémon has Immunity as its original Ability but not its current Ability, it will remain poisoned when switched out.

If the Pokémon with this Ability is poisoned and is holding a Pecha Berry or Lum Berry, Immunity will cure the Pokémon of poison before the Berry has a chance to be consumed.

Outside of battle
Immunity has no effect outside of battle.
