| Description | Avoids the strongest super-effective move that the opposing Pokémon has. |
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 super-effective 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.
