Rough Skin is an Ability introduced in Generation III. Only three Pokémon have this ability naturally; they are Carvanha, Sharpedo, and Druddigon.
Effect[]
If a Pokémon attacks an opponent with Rough Skin with a Physical attack that makes contact, they will lose one eighth of their HP. If the attacker uses a multi-hit contact move, the damage stacks upon each hit.
