Barrier is a Psychic-type move with no power and perfect accuracy. This status move sharply raises the user's Defense by two stages, significantly enhancing their ability to withstand physical attacks. Barrier has been a part of the Pokémon series since Generation I. It is often used by Pokémon with already high Special Defense to further bolster their physical defenses, making them formidable opponents in battle. The move does not deal damage but can be a critical component of a defensive strategy, especially in prolonged matches where stalling the opponent is a viable tactic.
