Howl

Normal

Summary

Howl is a Normal-type status move that has no power or accuracy metrics because it does not deal direct damage. Instead, Howl increases the user's Attack stat by one stage. This move can be particularly useful in battle strategies that involve setting up for stronger physical attacks. Howl is commonly found on Pokémon with a more offensive playstyle, allowing them to boost their damage output before striking. It may be part of a strategy to maximize the effectiveness of physical moves, and is often used in tandem with moves that benefit from the increased Attack stat.
