Competitive Use

Mold Breaker is awesome, because a lot of Pokemon depend on abilities to be usable, such as Bronzong. Haxorus is by far the best user of it, allowing it to narrow its counters down to a very small number of Pokemon. Mold Breaker is great against Pokemon using Levitate, as it allows Earthquake to be used against them as a method to bring them down. Pokemon such as Pinsir can also use Mold Breaker to negate Magic Bounce, allowing it to set up Stealth Rock without trouble.

Related Abilities

TeraVolt and TurboBlaze both nullify abilities.
