Leaf Guard
Summary: Cures major status ailments when the weather turns to strong sunlight. Prevents Rest for the full duration of strong sunlight.
Description
When exposed to strong sunlight (that is, when Sunny Day is considered to be in effect), this Pokémon has the ability to regenerate its foliage, curing itself of any major status effects as infected plant matter is shed and new leaves, vines, etc. sprout to replace the damaged parts. This regenerative burst only takes place when intense sunlight is first brought onto the field, however; status effects caused after the sun has already brightened cannot be healed in the same manner unless the sunlight is allowed to fade and then brightened again. However, the power of the sun is so overwhelming that a Pokémon with this ability won't be able to use Rest while Sunny Day is considered in effect, either.
