Primeval Hunger (Anomaly Exclusive Ability) – Detailed Explanation
Primeval Hunger is a unique and adaptive ability that grants stat boosts based on battlefield conditions and the strength of the opponent. This ability ensures Gible continuously evolves in combat, making it an unpredictable and formidable opponent.
Activation Conditions & Effects:
1. Harsh Environmental Conditions:
When Gible fights under severe battlefield conditions, its body instinctively adapts and grows stronger to survive. The ability activates when exposed to:
• Sandstorm (or other intense weather conditions set by strong Pokémon).
• Harsh terrains or extreme battlefield effects caused by powerful opponents.
• Unstable energy fields created by Legendary Pokémon or anomalies.
Upon activation, one of Gible's stats is boosted depending on the specific environmental challenge.
2. Facing a Strong Opponent:
When battling against an opponent with significantly higher stats, Gible's Primeval Hunger senses the power gap and compensates by increasing its own stats dynamically:
• Against a Speed-based opponent → Gible's Speed increases.
• Against an Attack-based opponent → Gible's Attack rises.
• Against a bulky, defensive opponent → Gible's Defense or Special Defense improves.
The greater the opponent's stat difference, the stronger the boost Gible receives.
3. Battling an Anomaly Pokémon (Stronger than Gible):
When facing an Anomaly Pokémon stronger than itself, Primeval Hunger doubles the usual stat boosts, allowing Gible to fight at a far higher level than normal. This effect makes it especially potent against rare and highly trained opponents, pushing Gible beyond its natural limits.
Essentially, the harder the battle, the stronger Gible becomes.
