Cute Antecedence Analysis

Basic Information

• ID: 628
• Name: Pretty Privilege (in-game display name)
• Internal Name: ABILITY_CUTE_ANTECEDENCE
• Type: Priority manipulation ability

Current Description

"At full HP, gives +1 priority to its Fairy-type moves."

Implementation Details

Code Implementation

constexpr Ability CuteAntecedence = {
    .onPriority = GALE_WINGS_CLONE(TYPE_FAIRY),
};

The ability uses the GALE_WINGS_CLONE macro with TYPE_FAIRY, which translates to:

+[](ON_PRIORITY) -> int {
    CHECK(GetTypeBeforeUsingMove(move, battler) == TYPE_FAIRY)
    CHECK(BATTLER_MAX_HP(battler))
    return 1;
}

Mechanics

1. HP Requirement: Must be at full HP (100% health)
2. Type Check: Only affects Fairy-type moves
3. Priority Boost: Adds +1 to move priority
4. Move Type Detection: Uses GetTypeBeforeUsingMove() to account for type-changing effects

Strategic Applications

Offensive Usage

• Enables priority Moonblast, Dazzling Gleam, and other powerful Fairy moves
• Particularly potent on fast sweepers who can maintain full HP
• Synergizes with setup moves that don't cause damage

Defensive Considerations

• HP threshold makes it vulnerable to entry hazards, residual damage
• Weather damage, status conditions, and recoil nullify the effect
• Priority Fairy moves can revenge kill or prevent setup

• Species with multi-ability sets including this as a third option

Extended In-Game Description

For use in Elite Redux extended ability UI (IMPORTANT: exactly 280-300 chars counted WITH spaces) At maximum HP, this Pokemon's Fairy-type moves gain +1 priority, allowing them to outspeed most attacks. The effect is lost if HP drops below 100%, making HP management crucial. Particularly effective for revenge killing or preventing enemy setup with priority Moonblast or Play Rough.
