Refresh is a Normal-type move with no power and no accuracy parameter, as it does not deal direct damage to opponents. Instead, Refresh heals the user by curing it of major status conditions such as poison, paralysis, and burn. This move is particularly useful for maintaining the longevity of Pokémon in battle, especially those without access to more general healing moves. Refresh is often used in competitive play on tanky or stalling Pokémon that can endure multiple hits but may be susceptible to status effects. It is a strategic move that adds to the staying power of a team in battle.
