Protean Maxima (Ability)
Protean Maxima | |||||||
|
Protean Maxima is an ability exclusive to Pokémon Insurgence. It is the signature Ability of Mega Eevee.
Effect
At the start of the turn (between Mega Evolution and switching Pokémon), if directed to use a move of a type that corresponds to an Eeveelution, Mega Eevee will transform into the form corresponding to that Eeveelution, complete with the type, base stats (including HP) and ability of that Eeveelution’s regular form. Using a Normal-type move changes Eevee back to its base Mega Evolution form. Protean Maxima is not replaced by the new ability: using a move of a different applicable type will cause Eevee to transform again. Unlike Protean, Protean Maxima does not take the damaging type of Hidden Power and Custom Move into account, meaning that using Hidden Power will change Mega Eevee into its Normal-type form and using a Custom Move will not change Mega Eevee's form.
If Mega Eevee transforms into a form that has a lower base HP stat than the previous form and the transformation would normally put Eevee's HP below 0, Eevee's HP is reduced to 1 instead. This also occurs when Mega Eevee transforms back into its non-Mega form after a battle ends.
The ability is always the same when changing to a new Eevee form:
- If Eevee changes into Vaporeon, Eevee gains the ability Water Absorb.
- If Eevee changes into Jolteon, Eevee gains the ability Volt Absorb.
- If Eevee changes into Flareon, Eevee gains the ability Flash Fire.
- If Eevee changes into Espeon, Eevee gains the ability Magic Bounce.
- If Eevee changes into Umbreon, Eevee gains the ability Synchronize.
- If Eevee changes into Leafeon, Eevee gains the ability Chlorophyll.
- If Eevee changes into Glaceon, Eevee gains the ability Snow Cloak.
- If Eevee changes into Sylveon, Eevee gains the ability Cute Charm.
