Tail Whip

Normal

Summary

Tail Whip is a Normal-type move with no power and 100% accuracy. Rather than dealing damage, Tail Whip lowers the Defense stat of all opposing Pokémon by one stage. This can make it easier for subsequent attacks from the user's team to deal more damage. Tail Whip is often learned at early levels by many Pokémon and is particularly useful in the early stages of battles or training. It has been a staple move since the first generation of Pokémon games, making it a familiar tactic for lowering an opponent's defenses in preparation for stronger attacks.
