Airborne (Ability)

Airborne is an Ability. It is original to Pokemon Beryl.

Effect
Airborne renders the Pokémon with this Ability immune to damaging Ground-type moves. It also is unaffected by the effects of Arena Trap, Spikes, and Toxic Spikes. Additionally, a Poison-type Pokémon with Airborne cannot remove Toxic Spikes.

These immunities are lost during Gravity or if the Pokémon with Airborne is holding an Iron Ball, or if it is under the effects of Ingrain. This Ability can also be suppressed by Gastro Acid or ignored by Mold Breaker.

The ability is functionally identical to Levitate; it is only different flavor-wise for Pokemon who should be immune to Ground because they can fly, but do not actually levitate.
