Play Nice

Normal

Summary

Play-Nice is a Normal-type move with 0 power and 100% accuracy. This status move lowers the target's Attack stat by one stage. Play-Nice is unique because it is guaranteed to work as long as it does not miss, making it a reliable way to weaken physical attackers. Introduced in Generation VI, it is notable for its broad distribution among Pokémon, being learned by many species through leveling up or breeding. This move does not cause any damage but can be strategically used to mitigate the threat from physically offensive opponents, providing an additional layer of strategy in both casual and competitive battles.
