Rough Skin

Description

This Pokemon will deal damage to the opponent equal to 1/8 of their maximum HP if this Pokemon is hit by a contact move. Stacks with Rocky Helmet. No effect outside of battle.

Competitive Use

This ability, while good, is never seen very much. Garchomp hasn't had it released yet and even so is banned anyway. Druddigon generally prefers Sheer Force and Sharpedo always prefers Speed Boost. It would be good if it was on Pokemon who could abuse the ability, but none of the current ones can.

Related Abilities

Iron Barbs is the same ability but with a different distribution.
