Follow Me

Normal

Summary

Follow Me is a Normal-type move with no power and perfect accuracy. It does not deal damage but instead redirects all single-target attacks from the opponent to the user for that turn. This makes Follow Me an exceptional move for protecting an ally in double battles, often used to shield partners who are setting up or are vulnerable to specific threats. Its priority is +2, meaning it almost always goes first in a turn. Follow Me is especially popular on Pokémon with high defensive stats or abilities that benefit from absorbing hits, such as those with the Ability Friend Guard.

Effect

Until the end of this turn, any moves that opposing Pokémon target solely at the user's ally will instead target the user. If both Pokémon on the same side of the field use this move on the same turn, the Pokémon that uses it last will become the target. This effect takes priority over lightning rod and storm drain. If the user's ally switches out, opposing Pokémon may still hit it with pursuit. This move cannot be selected by assist or metronome.
