Enemy Abilities (Dark Dawn)

This is a list of all abilities in Golden Sun: Dark Dawn that are exclusive to enemies. Differentiating these from Psynergy abilities is that none of these subtract from their users' PP meters and the enemy can still use them even if their Psynergy has been sealed. It is possible to tell the difference between Psynergy and Enemy Abilities in-game because the battle text says that enemies "use" or "unleash" teir own abilities and "cast" Psynergy.
