Prism Armor (Japanese: プリズムアーマー Prism Armor) is an Ability introduced in Generation VII. It is one of the signature Abilities of Necrozma.

Effect

In battle

Prism Armor reduces damage from super-effective moves by 25%, regardless of the effectiveness multiplier. For example, a move that would do 2× damage will do 1.5× damage instead.

Unlike Solid Rock and Filter, this Ability cannot be ignored by moves or Abilities. However, like Solid Rock and Filter, this Ability can still be changed or suppressed.

Outside of battle

Prism Armor has no effect outside of battle.
