Enemy Skill materia is a 
Command Materia in Final Fantasy VII Rebirth. It allows the party member equipping it to use enemy abilities from their abilities command, under the enemy skill subheader.
Up to seven enemy skills can be obtained in Final Fantasy VII Rebirth. The abilities are learned from certain Chadley Combat Simulator challenges, under the "Biological Intel" section. Abilities acquired on the Enemy Skill materia can be used randomly via Gamble. Enemy Skill materia can be linked with 
Support Materia. The maximum HP-boost a character can have is +30%, and so equipping both a mastered 
HP Up Materia and a level 2 enemy skill materia, the player still gets a +30% boost rather than a stacked +35%.
Enemy Skill materia returns from Final Fantasy VII and Final Fantasy VII Remake. However, in both previous games it learned skills from battling enemies with it equipped, while Rebirth is the first to make use of completing combat simulator challenges to acquire the skills. Rebirth is also the first in which the materia can be upgraded, specifically to boost attributes.
Obtaining materia[]
The only Enemy Skill materia is earned from the "Biological Intel: Know Thine Enemy" challenge in the Chadley Combat Simulator. This also unlocks the first skill.
