Description	Prevents grounded opposing Pokémon from fleeing.

Arena Trap is an ability in PMDO.

Effects

Upon attacking a Pokémon with Arena Trap, the attacker is given the Immobilized status, preventing them from moving for 5 turns.

Throwing items do not activate Arena Trap.

Pokémon immune to Ground-type attacks are unaffected by Arena Trap, such as Flying-type Pokémon, Pokémon under the effect of Magnet Rise, or Pokémon with the Levitate ability.

Strategy

Using Arena Trap

• After being attacked by a Pokémon, you can easily move away while they're immobilized without being followed.

Fighting Arena Trap

• If you do not have a Pokémon immune to it, it is difficult to attack the Arena Trap user without being immobilized; make sure you do not attack them while in a perilous position.
• The Run Away ability prevents being immobilized.
• Throwing items, such as sticks, will allow you to damage the Arena Trap user without activating their ability.
• In a pinch, a Lum Berry can cure the Immobilization status.
