Each night, the Rockruff may find out how much of a threat a pokemon is to the pack.

Each night, the Rockruff may check the category of a pokemon's pokemon to find out how much of a threat they are to the pack. The Rockruff only learns how much of a threat the pokemon is and not the pokemon's category. For wild pokemon and legendary categories, investigative and KO'ing pokemon are considered a major threat; power, recruitment and group pokemon a significant threat; and miscellaneous pokemon a slight threat. Team Rocket KO'ing pokemon are considered a slight threat. All other team rocket pokemon, as well as all pikachu pokemon, are not considered a threat. The Rockruff’s check is an immediate ability. The Rockruff is affected by strong disguises and redirections.
