Body Press

Fighting

Summary

Body Press is a Fighting-type move with 80 power and 100% accuracy. Unlike most moves, Body Press utilizes the user's Defense stat to calculate damage instead of the Attack stat, which makes it particularly effective for Pokémon with high Defense but lower Attack. This unique mechanic allows defensive Pokémon to pose a significant offensive threat. Body Press also has no additional secondary effects, making it a straightforward yet strategic move in both casual and competitive battles. It is especially useful for tanky Pokémon and can turn the tide of battle by leveraging their defensive capabilities.
