Captivate
NormalSummary
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.
Effect
Lowers the target's Special Attack by two stages. If the user and target are the same gender, or either is genderless, this move will fail.
Short Effect: Lowers the target's Special Attack by two stages if it's the opposite gender.
Lowers the target's Special Attack by two stages. If the user and target are the same gender, or either is genderless, this move will fail.
