Lightning Rod (ability)

Lightning Rod is an Ability introduced in Generation III.

In battle
Lightning Rod  forces all single-target Electric-type moves - used by any other Pokémon on the field - to target this Pokémon, and with 100% accuracy. This includes the status move . The ability is most useful in double battles.

When hit by the move, it deals no damage to the ability-bearer but raises its Special Attack by one stage. Stats can be raised to a maximum of +6 stages each.

Lightning Rod  will activate for an Electric-type .

The ability is overridden by other Pokémon becoming the  center of attention  from the moves  or .

Outside of battle
Lightning Rod has no effect outside of battle.
