Senses the foe's dangerous moves.
Anticipation alerts the user when an opposing Pokémon has a super-effective move - indicated by "shuddering".
In Polished Crystal, the ability checks all of the opponent's moves, treating Hidden Power as Normal-type and considering Counter and Mirror Coat as attacking moves. It ignores Pixilate and Galvanize when determining effectiveness.
