Anticipation
Flavor Text
The Pokémon can sense an opposing Pokémon's dangerous moves.
Effect
When this Pokémon enters battle, if one of its opponents has a move that is super-effective against it, Self-Destruct, Explosion, or a one-hit knockout move, all participating trainers are notified. The move itself is not revealed; only that there is such a move.
Hidden Power is treated as its effective type, not Normal-type. Moves that can have more than one type for the same user depending on certain conditions (Judgment, Techno Blast, etc.), as well as moves that deal typeless damage (Counter, Future Sight, etc.) and moves whose effect modifies their effectiveness or ability to hit (Synchronoise, Freeze-Dry, etc.), count as their listed type. One-hit KO moves to which this Pokémon is immune do not trigger this ability.
The effects of Inverse Battles are considered when triggering this ability, but abilities that change the type of move during battle (Pixilate, Normalize, etc.) are not.
