Move Detail

Feather-Dance Move Detail

Feather Dance is a Flying-type status move with 100% accuracy but no power, as it does not deal direct damage. When used, Feather Dance sharply lowers the target's Attack stat by two stages, making it a strategic move for weakening physical attackers. This move is particularly useful for defensive or supportive Pokémon, allowing them to mitigate the damage from physical moves and provide team support. Feather Dance has been a part of the Pokémon series since Generation III and remains a valuable tool for stalling and controlling the pace of battles.
