Wave Splitter

Wave Splitter is a custom ability introduced through PokeClash. It is the signature ability of Mega Clawitzer.

Effect

In battle

Wave Splitter lowers the damage of aura and pulse moves used by a Pokémon with this Ability by 25%, but causes them to become two-strike moves. Heal Pulse heals 50% of the target's maximum HP twice, including when using Z-Heal Pulse.

Since Wave Splitter turns moves into two-hit multistrike moves, each strike has a separate chance to be a critical hit.

Items and Abilities that trigger upon strike such as Cursed Body occur for each strike, and Spiky Shield and King's Shield only damage and decrease Attack (respectively) once if they protect a Pokémon from a contact move used by a Pokémon with Wave Splitter.

Additionally, there is only one accuracy check, so either both strikes hit or both strikes miss.

Any attack which has a secondary effect has the same secondary effect on both strikes (such as Dark Pulse); if a secondary effect has a certain chance of occurring, each strike has an independent chance of activating that effect.

Even if the Pokémon's Ability is changed to Mummy after the first strike, it will continue to make a second strike regardless.

Struggle will inflict recoil damage equal to half the user's maximum HP (after the final strike).

If a Pokémon with Wave Splitter uses a Water-type pulse move on a Pokémon with Storm Drain, the effect of raising the target's Special Attack will only happen once.

One-hit knockout moves only strike once. (Other consecutively executed moves can strike twice.)
