Damp (Japanese: しめりけ Moisture) is an Ability introduced in Generation III.

Effect

In battle

Damp prevents all Pokémon from using Self-Destruct, Explosion, Mind Blown, and Misty Explosion; if a Pokémon attempts to use one of these moves, it will fail and the user will not faint or take damage. Additionally, Damp prevents the Ability Aftermath from doing damage when the Pokémon with Aftermath faints.

Damp affects non-adjacent Pokémon in Triple Battles.

Despite the attacks involving explosions, Damp does not prevent the activation of Powder or Shell Trap.

Outside of battle

Damp has no effect outside of battle.
