Storm Drain

Storm Drain forces all single-target Water-type moves - used by any other Pokémon on the field - to target this Pokémon, and with 100% accuracy. The ability is most useful in double/triple battles. When hit by the move, it deals no damage to the ability-bearer but raises its Special Attack by one stage. Stats can be raised to a maximum of +6 stages each. Storm Drain will activate for an Water-type Hidden Power, but not Water-type Judgment. The ability is overridden by other Pokémon becoming the center of attention from the moves Follow Me or Rage Powder.
