Chlorophyll

Description

This Pokemon's Speed is doubled under sunlight. If the sunlight ends or a new weather condition is brought into play, the Pokémon's Speed returns to normal.

Competitive Use

Chlorophyll is an extremely powerful tool for sun-based teams. Most Grass-type attackers may pack a punch, but they are usually terribly slow. Pokemon such as Victreebel and Tangrowth have trouble launching one of their ground-shattering attacks, due to being outsped and taken out. However, many Grass-type abusers of the sun still face the same problem in that their own weather condition makes their weakness to Fire greater. Chlorophyll is an amazing ability in its own right, turning Pokemon such as Leafeon and Venusaur into dangerous attackers. However, the fundamental problem still lies with using the weather condition as a core for a team.

Related Abilities

Swift Swim and Sand Rush are equivalents for rain and sandstorm, respectively.
