Avatar (move)

 Avatar  (Japanese: アヴァターラ) is a non-damaging Psychic-type move created by WD for Generation C.

Effect
The user's type or its primary type is changed to Psychic. The user's Accuracy and Evasiveness are lowered and its Special Attack and Attack are raised by three stages each. It has 3 times its original length and 2.5 times its original weight. Any move the user makes or move targeting the user that would normally make contact will not.

Physical moves targeting the user will only cause half the damage they normally would (after type effectiveness, STAB and other variables have been calculated). Special moves will cause twice the damage but will also trigger an automatic Mirror Coat reaction, dealing twice the damage taken by the user.

A Pokémon under the effects of Avatar can only withstand the effects of three special attacks, regardless of their power, before the effects of Avatar ware off. The destruction of Avatar causes the user to automatically faint.
