Extended In-Game Description

For use in Elite Redux extended ability UI (IMPORTANT: exactly 280-300 chars counted WITH spaces)

This Pokémon's soothing voice enhances the effectiveness of Sing, boosting its accuracy from a normally unreliable 60% to a much more dependable 90%. This makes sleep-inducing strategies far more viable in battle, especially against faster foes.

Character count: 290

Detailed Mechanical Explanation

For Discord/reference use

Core Mechanic:

• Multiplies Sing's accuracy by 1.5x (60% → 90%)
• Only affects the move Sing (MOVE_SING)
• Implemented as an onAccuracy callback with ACCURACY_MULTIPLICATIVE priority

Technical Implementation:

constexpr Ability Lullaby = {
    .onAccuracy = +[](ON_ACCURACY) -> AccuracyPriority {
        CHECK(move == MOVE_SING);
        *accuracy *= 1.5;
        return ACCURACY_MULTIPLICATIVE;
    },
};

Strategic Applications:

• Makes Sing a reliable sleep-inducing option at 90% accuracy
• Particularly valuable for Pokémon that rely on status strategies
• Transforms an otherwise unreliable 60% accuracy move into a near-guaranteed hit
• Enables consistent sleep setups for sweepers or support roles

Interaction Notes:

• Only affects Sing specifically - other sleep moves are unaffected
• Stacks multiplicatively with other accuracy modifiers
• Can be further boosted by items like Wide Lens or moves like Lock-On
• Subject to standard accuracy checks (opponent's evasion, etc.)

Competitive Viability:

• Niche but effective ability for specific team compositions
• Most valuable on Pokémon with good defensive stats to survive while setting up sleep
• Pairs well with moves that benefit from sleeping opponents (Dream Eater, etc.)
• Limited by being restricted to a single move, reducing overall utility
