All standard Hpemde TP moves. Only opens mouth occasionally after using a TP move. It can open its mouth after any TP move, but seems to do so most frequently after Rapid Molt, which is only used if Ketea has an enfeebling effect that can be removed by it. Placing at least one enfeebling effect on Ketea that can be removed with Rapid Molt may entice it to open its mouth more frequently.	Normal movement speed Evasion Bonus Ice Spikes when mouth is closed. Deactivates when mouth is opened. Absorbs magic damage, including skillchains, when mouth is closed. "!!" weaknesses can still be struck on absorbed attacks.
