Detailed Mechanical Explanation

For Discord/reference use

Core Mechanics:

• Reduces damage from super-effective moves by 35% (applies a 0.65 multiplier)
• Only affects moves with type effectiveness of 2.0x or higher
• The ability is "breakable" - can be negated by moves like Moldbreaker, Turboblaze, or Teravolt
• Does not affect moves that are already reduced by other factors

Technical Implementation:

• Uses the same defensive multiplier system as Filter ability
• Applied during damage calculation after type effectiveness is determined
• Stacks multiplicatively with other damage reduction effects
• Activation occurs automatically when hit by super-effective moves

Strategic Applications:

• Essential for defensive Pokémon weak to common offensive types
• Particularly valuable on Pokémon with multiple type weaknesses
• Helps tanks survive powerful super-effective attacks
• Synergizes well with recovery moves and defensive stat investments
• Can turn 2HKOs into 3HKOs against super-effective attacks

Breakable Nature:

• Abilities like Moldbreaker, Turboblaze, and Teravolt ignore Solid Rock
• Moves that ignore abilities will bypass this protection
• Can be role-played, skill-swapped, or otherwise manipulated
• Suppressed by Gastro Acid or similar ability-suppressing effects

Pokémon Commonly Associated:

• Typically found on Rock, Ground, and Steel-type defensive Pokémon
• Rhyperior, Aggron, and similar bulky defenders benefit greatly
• Complements high HP and Defense stats for maximum survivability
