Learn about the Pressure Ability in Pokémon Platinum, which reduces opponent PP and affects wild Pokémon encounters.

Pokémon with Pressure: Aerodactyl, Articuno, Zapdos, Moltres, Mewtwo, Raikou, Entei, Suicune, Lugia, Ho-Oh, Dusclops, Absol, Deoxys, Vespiquen, Spiritomb, Weavile, Dusknoir, Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina (Alternate Forme only).

Ability Effect: When a Pokémon with the Pressure Ability is attacked, the opponent's PP is reduced by 2.

Out of Battle Effect: When a Pokémon with the Pressure Ability is the leader in your party, encounters with higher level Pokémon will drop.

Tips
  • This ability is particularly useful in trainer battles where PP can be a significant factor.
  • Having a Pokémon with Pressure at the front of your party can help you find higher-level wild Pokémon more easily.
