Acid

Poison

Summary

Acid is a Poison-type move with 40 power and 100% accuracy. It has a 10% chance of lowering the target's Special Defense by one stage. Acid is one of the simpler Poison-type moves, often utilized in the early to mid-stages of Pokémon games. Though not exceptionally powerful, its ability to potentially weaken the opponent's Special Defense can be strategically useful, especially in drawn-out battles where incremental advantages matter.
