Baneful Bunker is a Poison-type status move with no power and perfect accuracy. This move serves primarily as a protective barrier, shielding the user from all effects of moves targeting it during that turn, much like Protect. Additionally, if an opponent makes contact with the user while Baneful Bunker is active, they will be poisoned. This move is particularly useful for stalling strategies and disrupting physical attackers, making it a valuable asset in both defensive and strategic plays. Baneful Bunker is the signature move of Toxapex, reflecting the Pokémon's role as a formidable defensive wall.

Short Effect: Grants the user protection for the rest of the turn and poisons any Pokémon that tries to use a contact move on it.
