Captivate Move Detail
Captivate is a Normal-type move with no power and 100% accuracy. It targets all opposing Pokémon of the opposite gender, sharply lowering their Special Attack by two stages. Captivate is mainly useful in double battles and mixed-gender matchups, as it relies heavily on gender differences between the user and the target. This move is not effective against genderless Pokémon or Pokémon of the same gender as the user. Despite its situational nature, Captivate can be strategically valuable for reducing the threat posed by special attackers.
