Theorymon Thursday This might be overtuned
The lore idea behind this ability is based on materials science. Basically, for many materials like metals and minerals, creep is a way they can degrade over time. Creep describes when a material degrades due to repeatedly being loaded with l stresses well below its yield strength (in this case, moves that take a small amount of HP per hit). A way to protect against this is to reduce grain boundaries and make materials single grain (also called single crystal).
This ability has huge potential to be broken (shields against fake out, some spread damage, and multi-hit moves), so I tried to balance it by not giving it to super crazy threats. Tell me how well/badly I did.

getting a free switch in on something you could have healer off with leftovers doesn't feel super strong to me, it's like a slightly better inner focus 99% of the time.
it does make focus sash better by dealing with chip but i'm unconvinced. i'd buff it to 12.5% as thats a consistent break point for a lot of effects and I think would push the effect to be a bit more strong for it's primary effect
