How to Hit Levitate With Ground-Type Attacks in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet

Whenever you get into a battle with a Pokemon in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet that has Mold Breaker, you’ll see “[Pokemon Name] breaks the mold,” indicating that their attacks are unimpeded by the target’s Ability. Here’s a scenario: Pokemon A has Mold Breaker, and Pokemon B has Levitate, which prevents a Pokemon from being hit by Ground-type attacks. Should Pokemon A attack with a Ground-type attack, Mold Breaker will cancel out Levitate, and the attack will actually hit. It’s an awesome Ability to have on at least one of your Pokemon, especially if it’s a sweeper, to effectively deal with teams that rely on defensive Abilities.
