Charge

Electric

Summary

Charge is an Electric-type status move. This move does not deal direct damage and has no power or accuracy stat. Charge raises the user's Special Defense by one stage and also boosts the power of the user's next Electric-type attack by 100%. Introduced in Generation III, Charge is often used strategically to increase both the user's defensive capabilities and offensive potential, making subsequent Electric-type moves significantly more powerful. It is a key move for Pokémon that rely on Electric-type attacks and can benefit from the added bulk and increased damage output.

Effect
