Schooling (ability)
Schooling (ability) is the signature Ability of Wishiwashi.
Function
Wishiwashi transforms into its School Form when it is sent out or at the end of the turn when it is above level 20 and has more than 25% HP. If it is below 25% at the end of the turn, it reverst back to its Solo Form.
Abilities like Gastro Acid, Worry Seed, and Simple Beam fail if the target possesses Schooling. Moves such as Role Play, Skill Swap, Entrainment, and Doodle also fail if either Pokémon involved has Schooling.
Schooling cannot be replicated by Trace, Power of Alchemy or Receiver and is immune to abilities such as Mummy or Lingering Aroma, and also can't be suppressed by Core Enforcer or Neutralizing Gas.
If a Pokémon other than Wishiwashi aquired Schooling through Imposter (ability) or Transform, it does not trigger a change in form.
