Abilities

Passive Ability

	Mold Breaker かたやぶり Mold-Breaking
Description This Pokémon deals additional damage to opposing Pokémon that have an active shield effect. Each time this Pokémon hits Pokémon from the opposing team with moves or boosted basic attacks, its hammer becomes stronger and its Attack increases (up to 60 times maximum). Also, after the hammer is strengthened 20, 40, and 60 times, Rock Smash, Gigaton Hammer, and Smack Down power up.

Basic Attack

	Damage category: Physical (as a basic attack)
	Damage category: Physical (as a boosted attack)
Description As the user evolves, its hammer's size and basic attack range increase. Whenever a set amount of time passes, the next basic attack becomes a boosted attack, dealing increased damage and restoring the user's HP.
