Seed Sower (Japanese: こぼれダネ Self-Sowing Seeds) is an Ability introduced in Generation IX. It is the signature Ability of Arboliva.
Effect
In battle
When a Pokémon with Seed Sower is hit by a damaging move, it summons Grassy Terrain for five turns, unless Grassy Terrain is already present. This can be extended to eight turns if the Pokémon is holding a Terrain Extender. If hit by a multistrike move, the first strike will activate it.
Seed Sower activates before the effect of the moves Steel Roller and Ice Spinner is triggered, thus removing the grassy terrain.
Outside of battle
Seed Sower has no effect outside of battle.
