Metal-Sound Move Detail

Metal Sound is a Steel-type move with no power in terms of dealing damage but has 85% accuracy. This non-damaging move sharply lowers the target's Special Defense by two stages, making them more susceptible to special attacks. Metal Sound is especially useful for setting up stronger special attacks from either the user or its allies. It's often used tactically in battles to weaken sturdy defensive Pokémon, making it a valuable tool for strategic play.
