Static

Description

The wielder has a 30% chance of inducing paralysis on a Pokemon that connects with a contact move. Static has a separate chance of activation on each hit of a contact multi-hit move, and can status a Pokemon multiple times if the first status is removed by the effect of Lum Berry or similar items. Static is prevented by Safeguard, but not by Substitute.

When the wielder is first in the party, wild encounters with Electric Pokemon have a higher chance of occurring.

Competitive Use

Static is a pretty widespread ability, yet no real standout Pokemon get it. Manectric and Raichu are perhaps the most notable, but would much prefer to use Lightningrod to gain a Special Attack boost. In any case, most Pokemon that have Static cannot take a physical hit anyway, so its use is very limited.
