From Bulbapedia, the community-driven Pokémon encyclopedia.
Simple Beam (Japanese: シンプルビーム Simple Beam) is a non-damaging Normal-type move introduced in Generation V.
Effect
Simple Beam changes the target's Ability to Simple. If a Pokémon affected by Simple Beam is switched out, it regains its original Ability.
Simple Beam fails if the target's Ability is Simple, Truant, Multitype, Zen Mode (Generation VII onward), Stance Change, Schooling, Comatose, Shields Down, Disguise, RKS System, Battle Bond, Power Construct, Ice Face, Gulp Missile, or As One.
With Simple as its Ability, if the Pokémon's stat stages would be increased or decreased, the amount they would change by is doubled.
If powered up by a Normalium Z into Z-Simple Beam, the user's Special Attack stat rises one stage.
