How it works in Champions
This Pokémon is to moves flagged as being sound-based.
Heal Bell is unaffected. Uproar still prevents this Pokémon from sleeping. This Pokémon can still receive a Perish Song counter through Baton Pass, and will retain a Perish Song counter if it acquires this ability after Perish Song is used.
Howl, Roar of Time, Sonic Boom, and Yawn are not flagged as sound-based.
“Soundproofing gives the Pokémon full immunity to all sound-based moves.”
