Defense Curl

Normal

Summary

Defense Curl is a Normal-type move with no power and perfect accuracy. It is a status move that increases the user's Defense stat by one stage, making them more resilient to physical attacks. An interesting synergy of Defense Curl is with the move Rollout; if the user has previously used Defense Curl, the power of Rollout is doubled. Defense Curl is often used strategically to bolster a Pokémon's defenses and set up for other moves, making it a key part of certain defensive or tank-oriented strategies.

Effect
