Leer Move Detail
Leer is a Normal-type move with no power and 100% accuracy. It lowers the Defense stat of all adjacent opponents by one stage. Leer can be useful in battle to weaken the defenses of foes, making them more susceptible to physical attacks. It is often learned by Pokémon at early levels and can be a strategic move in the early stages of a battle to pave the way for stronger offensive maneuvers.
