Modified Abilities

Light Metal
Static
Effect: When referring to Weight Classes, treat the Pokémon as if it is 2 Weight Classes lower.
If this pokemon is already Weight Class 1 (As is the case with Craliber):

  • It becomes immune to the attacks Low Kick and Grass knot.
  • For moves which compare the attacker and defender's weight classes before dealing damage, OR for push moves which depend on the defender's weight class, this pokemon's weight class is considered 0.
For example, A WC6 pokemon uses Heavy Slam on Craliber. Normally Craliber would be dealt a DB14 attack (+2 for each WC the attacker is heavier than the target), but since Craliber is considered one less Weight Class than even WC1, the attacker gets to add another +2 to the attack, to hit him with a DB16 attack. Ouch! However, Being immune to Low Kick and Grass Knot is pretty nice.
