No Retreat

Fighting

Summary

No Retreat is a Fighting-type status move that does not have any power or accuracy values since it does not deal direct damage. When used, No Retreat raises the user's Attack, Defense, Special Attack, Special Defense, and Speed by one stage each, making it an extremely potent setup move. However, the catch is that once a Pokémon uses No Retreat, it becomes unable to switch out for the remainder of the battle unless specific conditions are met, such as using moves or items that force a switch. This move is signature to Falinks, a unique Fighting-type Pokémon introduced in Generation VIII, and is highly strategic, requiring careful consideration of the battle scenario before use.
