Anticipation is an ability in PMDO.

Effects

When attacked by a super-effective move, the Anticipation user will automatically avoid it if it is the strongest super-effective move that enemy has. This is determined by which move has the highest base power, whether or not they're 2x or 4x effective makes no difference.

In the case of a draw, the move that appears earlier in that Pokémon's movelist will be considered the stronger attack.

If the enemy only has one super-effective move, that move will always be avoided.

Outside multipliers such as same-type attack bonus, abilities that increase a move's power, or attacks that differ in power based off of certain conditions, such as distance, are not considered.

Anticipation ignores the usual rules for attack missing and always activates.
