Nuzzle Move Detail

Nuzzle is an Electric-type move with 20 power and 100% accuracy. It is a physical attack that always results in the target being paralyzed, provided the target is not immune to paralysis. Despite its low base power, Nuzzle is highly valued for its guaranteed paralysis effect, making it a strategic move to inflict status conditions on opponents. This move can be particularly useful in setting up slower or bulkier teammates to outspeed the paralyzed target in subsequent turns. Nuzzle is also notable for bypassing resistances to Electric-type paralysis found in Thunder Wave, due to its physical damage component, making it useful against Ground-type Pokémon when combined with other moves that allow it to hit.
