Hustle (Japanese:はりきりEnthusiasm) is anAbility introduced inGeneration III.

Effect

In battle

Hustle increases the user'sAttack stat by 50%, but lowers theaccuracy of the user'sphysical moves by 20% (approximated as a multiplier of 3277/4096 fromGeneration V onwards).OHKO moves andspecial moves are unaffected by Hustle.

Generation III

In addition to lowering the accuracy of the user's physical moves, Hustle lowers the accuracy ofstatus moves with types corresponding to physical moves.[1]

The type of damage dealt byHidden Power determines whether its accuracy is affected by Hustle.

Generation IV

Status moves are no longer affected by Hustle, regardless of their type.

Hustle increases self-inflictedconfusion damage.

Generation V onwards

Hustle no longer affects confusion damage.

Outside of battle

FromPokémon Emerald onwards, if a Pokémon with Hustle is in the first slot in theparty (even iffainted), there's a 50% chance that a Pokémon will be forced to the upper bound of their encounter level range. It shares this effect withPressure andVital Spirit.

Generation VIII

This Ability effect may be in need of research.
Reason:Does Hustle's field effect work in Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl?
You candiscuss this on the talk page.

InPokémon Sword and Shield, Hustle appears to have no effect on the level range of wild Pokémon.

Generation IX

InPokémon Scarlet and Violet, Hustle appears to have no effect on the level range of wild Pokémon.
