Belly Drum is a Normal-type move with no direct power or accuracy component because it is a non-damaging status move. When a Pokémon uses Belly Drum, it maximizes its Attack stat to the highest possible level (+6 stages) at the cost of half of its maximum HP. This dramatic boost can make physical attacks extremely powerful, but the user must be cautious due to the significant loss of HP. Belly Drum is often paired with healing moves or items such as Sitrus Berry to mitigate the health cost. This move can be a game-changer in battles, especially when used by Pokémon with high base Attack stats and decent Speed.
