Effect Summary
Goes inside the mouth of an ally Dondozo if one is on the field.
Detailed Effect
When a
Tatsugiri
with Commander is on the same side of the field as a
Dondozo
, it will enter the Dondozo's mouth and the Dondozo will have its
Attack
,
Defense
,
Special Attack
,
Special Defense
, and
Speed
raised by two stages each.
While Tatsugiri is inside Dondozo's mouth, the latter will be unable to switch out (even if Tatsugiri faints) and cannot be forced out.
A held Red Card
can still be consumed, but will have no effect.
The Trainer will not be able to select moves for Tatsugiri, and any opponent's moves (even if it has No Guard) will miss if Tatsugiri is targeted.
Tatsugiri will continue to take damage from sandstorms
, as well as status conditions (such as
poison
) if it has already gained one prior to entering Dondozo's mouth, and the effect of Perish Song will continue normally.
If Dondozo is switched in when Tatsugiri is already on the field, Commander will immediately activate and cancel Tatsugiri's selected move.
Any moves targeting Tatsugiri that turn will also miss.
When Dondozo faints, Tatsugiri returns to its normal position in battle.
Commander will not reactivate if Tatsugiri faints and is replaced with another Tatsugiri with Commander.
However, Commander can reactivate if Dondozo is revived after fainting.
The move Order Up will give Dondozo a stat boost when used, based on the form of Tatsugiri inside its mouth:
Commander does not activate in Multi Battles and Tera Raid Battles.
Gastro Acid and Worry Seed fail if the target has the ability Commander.
Role Play, Skill Swap, Entrainment, and Doodle fail if either Pokémon has Commander.
Commander cannot be copied by Trace, Power of Alchemy, or Receiver.
It can however be replaced by Simple Beam.
Commander cannot be replaced by Mummy or Lingering Aroma, or traded by Wandering Spirit.
Imposter can successfully transform into a Tatsugiri in Dondozo's mouth.
