How it works in Champions

If is active, this Pokémon's Special Attack is multiplied by 1.5 and it loses 1/8 of its maximum HP, rounded down, at the end of each turn. These effects are prevented if the Pokémon is holding a Utility Umbrella.

“In harsh sunlight, the Pokémon's Sp. Atk stat is boosted, but its HP decreases every turn.”
