Motor Drive

Absorbs Electric moves, raising Speed one stage.

Full effect

Whenever an Electric-type move hits this Pokémon, its Speed rises one stage, negating any other effect on it. This ability will not take effect if this Pokémon is immune to Electric moves. Electric moves will ignore this Pokémon's Substitute. This effect includes non-damaging moves, i.e. Thunder Wave.

In-game description

The Pokémon takes no damage when hit by Electric-type moves. Instead, its Speed stat is boosted.
