Taken Hold (Ability)

Taken Hold is an Ability. It is exclusive to Oaken and Eldwood, and is original to Pokémon Beryl.

Effect
When the Pokémon with Taken Hold is sent out, it immediately obtains the effects of the move Ingrain. The user will regain 1/16 of its HP at the end of every turn. Additionally, the user is rooted in place and cannot be switched out or forced out, although it can be removed from battle with U-Turn or Baton Pass. If Baton Pass is used, the Ingrain status will not carry over to the Pokémon switched in, unlike with a regular Ingrain. In all other ways, the status conferred by Taken Hold is identical to an ordinary Ingrain.
