Summary

TM43 (Detect) is a Technical Machine (TM) in the Pokémon series. It teaches the move Detect to a compatible Pokémon. Detect is a status move that allows the user to protect itself from all effects of moves targeted at it during the turn it is used, including damaging and status moves. Detect's success rate decreases with consecutive uses, making it less reliable if used repeatedly in succession.

Effects: - Move Type: Status - Accuracy: N/A - Priority: +4 (Ensures it moves first in the turn) - Upon successfully using Detect, the Pokémon is immune to all attacks during that turn, though it can still be affected by effects that are not directed at it, such as weather conditions or status afflictions like Poison.

Interesting Facts: 1. Detect is essentially the Fighting-type counterpart to Protect, another popular status move with an identical effect. 2. While Detect and Protect are essentially the same in terms of battle mechanics,
