Screech

Normal

Summary

Screech is a Normal-type move with no direct power as it does not deal damage. It has 85% accuracy. Screech sharply lowers the target's Defense stat by two stages, making it easier for subsequent physical attacks to deal more damage. Introduced in Generation I, Screech is commonly used to weaken tough opponents and set up for powerful physical hits. Despite its relatively low accuracy, it can significantly impact battle strategy by reducing the target's defense, making it a valuable support move in various team compositions.
