Cotton-Guard Move Detail
Cotton Guard is a non-damaging Grass-type move with no power or accuracy parameters since it doesn't deal damage. Instead, it drastically raises the user's Defense stat by three stages. This significant boost can turn the tide of battle by allowing the user to withstand physical attacks much more effectively. Cotton Guard is particularly useful for defensive or tanky Pokémon looking to fortify their longevity in battle. Its dramatic increase in Defense makes it a strategic move in both casual and competitive play. The move was introduced in Generation V and continues to be a valuable asset in a variety of battle scenarios.
