In battle

Turboblaze applies regardless of target Pokémon, but only to moves executed by its user (so if two Pokémon in a Double Battle both know Earthquake, only the Pokémon with Turboblaze can hit a Pokémon with Levitate).

Unlike, which completely negates a target's Ability, the opponents' Abilities otherwise remain in effect:
 * Abilities that prevent status conditions (such as and ) will not protect the Pokémon from receiving the status condition; however, many of these Abilities also have effects to cure the Pokémon of the status condition if afflicted, which are not negated by Turboblaze.
