How it works in Champions
This Pokémon cannot become affected by a condition or Yawn. If a Pokémon uses a Ghost-type attack against this Pokémon, that Pokémon's offensive stat is halved when calculating the damage to this Pokémon.
“The Pokémon's pure salt protects it from status conditions and halves the damage taken from Ghost-type moves.”

Good to know
- Mold Breaker, Teravolt and Turboblaze (and moves like Sunsteel Strike) ignore it.
