Parry

Parry is an ability that enables a Pokémon to occasionally negate an incoming physical attack, reducing the damage to zero as if the attack missed. This defensive maneuver provides a significant strategic advantage, particularly in battles against opponents reliant on powerful physical moves. The activation of Parry is not guaranteed and typically occurs based on a percentage chance, which varies depending on the specific game or rule set.

Effects:

1. Negation of Damage: When Parry activates, the targeted physical attack misses, and the Pokémon with Parry takes no damage.
2. Stat Boost: In certain game iterations, successfully parrying an attack may also provide a temporary boost to the Pokémon's Defense or Evasion statistic.
3. Compatibility: Parry is usually found on Fighting-type or agile Pokémon, adding to their thematic consistency of skillful dodging and counter-attacking.
