Possess (Japanese: ひょうい, Possession) is a non-damaging Ghost-type move created by WD for Generation C.

Effect

Possess has a -2 penalty to priority. Before taking effect, Possess causes the user to lose 25% of its max HP. If the user has more HP than the target (after the HP loss), the user faints and the target gains HP equal to 75% of the user's max HP. The target's ability is then changed to Possessed. If the user has less HP than the target, Possess fails.

Normal and Ghost Type Pokémon are immune to Possess and so are Pokémon with the abilities Multitype and Possessed.
