Charm Move Detail

Summary

Charm is a Fairy-type status move with no power and perfect accuracy. It sharply lowers the target's Attack stat by two stages, making it highly effective for reducing the damage output of physical attackers. Despite not dealing any direct damage, Charm can significantly shift the momentum of a battle by weakening the opponent's offensive capabilities. It's particularly useful in both casual and competitive play for stalling strategies or supporting more defensive Pokémon. Charm was formerly classified as a Normal-type move before the Fairy type was introduced in Generation VI.
