Minimize Move Detail

Summary

Minimize is a Normal-type status move. It does not have power or accuracy as it does not deal direct damage. Instead, Minimize increases the user's evasiveness by two stages, making it harder for opponents to hit. In earlier generations, Minimize also caused specific moves like Stomp to deal double damage when used against a minimized Pokémon. This move is commonly used in strategies that focus on evasion to avoid attacks and whittle down opponents over time.
