Summary

Constrict is a Normal-type move with 10 power and 100% accuracy. It has a 10% chance of lowering the target's Speed stat by one stage. Despite its low power, Constrict is known for its utility in potentially reducing the opponent's Speed, making it easier for other Pokémon to outspeed them in subsequent turns.
