View source for Gulp Missile (ability)

'''Gulp Missile''' is one of the many [[Ability|abilities]] that are inheritable by Pokémon.

==Function==
If a Pokémon with '''Gulp Missile''' uses [[Dive]] or [[Surf]], it catches prey and changes its form depending on its remaining HP:<br>
* if it has more than half of its maximum HP remaining, it catches an [[Arrokuda]] and changes into its '''Gulping Form''',
* if it has half or less of its maximum HP remaining, it instead catches a [[Pikachu]] and changes into its '''Gorging Form'''.

If the Pokémon gets hit in either form, it spits out its catch at the attacker, even if it has no HP remaining. The projectile deals damage equal to 1/4 of the target's maximum HP and inflicting a secondary effect depending on its catch: <br>
an Arrokuda also lowers the target's Defense by 1 stage, and a Pikachu [[Paralysis|paralyzes]] the target.

The Pokémon returns to its base form after spitting out its catch or switching out.

Gulp Missile is the signature ability of [[Cramorant]], but can be acquired by [[Trace (ability)|Trace]], [[Skill Swap]], [[Wandering Spirit (ability)|Wandering Spirit]] or [[Receiver (ability)|Receiver]].
