Imprison Move Detail
Imprison is a Psychic-type move with no power and 100% accuracy. This status move prevents opponents from using any moves that the user also knows, creating a strategic advantage. Imprison is particularly effective in battles where the user shares common moves with the opponent, limiting their move pool and reducing their effectiveness. It is often used in competitive play to disrupt the opponent's strategy and force them into difficult situations.
