Effects

When attacked with 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 super-effective move has the highest base power; whether or not it is 2x or 4x effective makes no difference.

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

If the attacker 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.
