Summary
Copies burns, paralysis, and poison onto the Pokémon that inflicted them.
Effect
Whenever this Pokémon is burned, paralyzed, or poisoned, the Pokémon who gave this Pokémon that ailment is also given the ailment.
If this Pokémon is badly poisoned, this ability only passes back regular poison. This ability cannot pass back a status ailment that the Pokémon did not directly receive from another Pokémon, such as the poison from Toxic Spikes or the burn from a Flame Orb.
Overworld: In Pokémon Emerald and all subsequent games, if the lead Pokémon has this ability, wild Pokémon have a 50% chance of having the lead Pokémon's nature, and a 50% chance of being given a random nature as usual; this results in a 52% chance of having the lead Pokémon's nature. This does not work on Pokémon received outside of battle or roaming legendaries. In Emerald, this also does not work on Pokémon encountered by interacting with them on the overworld.
