Growl
NormalSummary
Growl is a Normal-type status move with no power and 100% accuracy. It lowers the Attack stat of all adjacent opponents by one stage. Growl is often used early in battles to weaken the physical attacks of opposing Pokémon, making it easier for a player's team to withstand incoming damage. Though it deals no direct damage, Growl can be strategically significant, especially in the early stages of a Pokémon game or in double battles where multiple foes are affected.
