Prankster (ability)

Prankster is an Ability introduced in Generation V.

In battle
Prankster  increases the priority of status moves by +1.

This means that a slower Pokémon with  Prankster  can use a status move before the opponent uses a regular move. Or if the ability-bearer is faster, it could use a status move before the opponent uses a priority move like .

The move  does not block moves whose priority is increased by  Prankster  (but it does block moves that already have increased priority).

Outside of battle
Prankster has no effect outside of battle.
