✨ Lightning Rod | Gen 8
Effect:
All other Pokémon's single-target electric-type moves are redirected to this Pokémon. Other Pokémon's Electric moves raise this Pokémon's Special Attack one stage, negating any other effect on it, and cannot miss it. If the move's intended target also has this ability, the move is not redirected.
When multiple Pokémon with this ability are possible targets for redirection, the move is redirected to the one with the highest Speed stat, or, in the case of a tie, to a random tied Pokémon. Follow me takes precedence over this ability.

Effect Outside Battle:
if a Pokémon with Lightning Rod ability is the party lead (even if fainted), there is a 50% chance of an encounter with a Electric-type Pokémon (if possible).
