What is the ability Prankster?
Source: http://www.pokemon.jp/zukan/detail/547.html
Prankster is an ability that boosts the priority of Status Moves by +1.
It was introduced back in Fifth Generation and Pokemon such as Whimsicott, Thundurus, and Tornadus have this ability.
What are the changes to this ability?
Dark-type Pokemon are now immune to moves boosted by Prankster.
In other words, the priority-boosted Status Moves used by these Pokémon with the ability Prankster can no longer affect Dark-Types.
Keeping in mind of previously mentioned move effect nerfs: Thunder Wave, and Swagger; and status effect nerfs: Paralysis, Confusion, and Burn on which notable Pokémon such as Whimsicott and Thundurus highly depend on to cripple and stall opponents; this can be a challenge for Players who capitalize on using these strategies to secure a victory.
