Own Tempo (マイペース Mai Peesu) is an ability that prevents confusion. This is useful if used with Thrash or Outrage as it prevents the side effects of those moves. Unfortunately, only Spinda learns Thrash naturally and Smeargle can copy them; however, due to its low stats, it is most likely to faint before it succeeds. However, in a double battle, one could use either Swagger or Flatter to raise the attacking stats of one's own Pokémon without having to worry about the side effects of those moves.
