Crunch Move Detail

Summary

Crunch is a Dark-type move with 80 power and 100% accuracy. It has a 20% chance of lowering the target's Defense stat by one stage. Crunch is a physical move, making it an excellent choice for Pokémon with high Attack stats. It's also widely used for its additional effect of potentially reducing the target's defenses, making subsequent attacks more effective.
