Vital Spirit

Generation 3

Summary

Prevents sleep.

Effect

This Pokémon cannot be asleep.

This causes Rest to fail altogether. If a Pokémon is asleep and acquires this ability, it will immediately wake up; this includes when regaining a lost ability upon leaving battle.

This ability functions identically to Insomnia in battle.

Overworld: If the lead Pokémon has this ability, higher-levelled Pokémon have their encounter rate increased.
