Gastrodon Abilities

Ability	Type	Effect
Sticky Hold	Normal	Items held by the Pokémon are stuck fast and cannot be removed by other Pokémon.
Storm Drain	Normal	Draws in all Water-type moves. Instead of being hit by Water-type moves, it boosts its Sp. Atk.
Sand Force	Hidden	Boosts the power of Rock-, Ground-, and Steel-type moves in a sandstorm.

Sword Pokedex Entry
Its search for food sometimes leads it onto land, where it leaves behind a sticky trail of slime as it passes through.

Shield Pokedex Entry
The softness of its body helps disperse the force of impacts, so although its body is uncommonly squishy, it’s also surprisingly resilient.
