Sheer Force of Outrage

[Fox_Master51]

I think this might have been discussed, but if a pokemon has the ability Sheer Force and uses Outrage, does Sheer Force take away the Confusion that Outrage causes?
Thank you in advance.

Sheer Force only works on things that have a percent chance of happening lower than 100%, to the Pokemon they are targetting. Outrage holds neither of these qualities and therefore is not powered by Sheer Force.

The way I look at Sheer Force is that I remember that many moves in the game have "some % chance" to do "some effect" to the opponent. Ice Beam has a 10% chance to freeze, Flamethrower has a 10% chance to burn, Rock Slide has a 10% chance to flinch, and so forth.

These moves are almost templated copies of each other - with the names, numbers, and effects changed.

Those are the moves Sheer Force affects. If it isn't basically a carbon copy of a move like Flamethrower or Ice Beam, Sheer Force doesn't boost it.

Serebii has a full list of moves affected by Sheer Force.

Serebii and Bulbapedia are both awesome resources for answering all sorts of random questions about the games and mechanics.
