Pokemon with Solar Power: Sunkern, Sunflora, Tropius
Ability Effect: When a Pokémon with the Solar Power ability is active and the move Sunny Day is also active, the Pokémon will take damage equal to 1/16th of its maximum HP at the end of each turn. However, in return for this damage, the Pokémon receives a bonus to its Special Attack stat for each turn that Sunny Day remains active.
Tips
- This ability is a double-edged sword; while it boosts your Special Attack, it also drains your HP.
- Consider using this ability with Pokémon that have high HP or can recover HP quickly, or in situations where the Sunny Day boost is critical for a sweep.
- Ensure you have a way to manage the HP loss, perhaps through items or other Pokémon abilities.
