Sharpen

Normal

Summary

Sharpen is a Normal-type move with no power or accuracy component, as it is a status move. When used, Sharpen increases the user's Attack stat by one stage. This move is particularly useful for physical attackers that require a boost to their offensive capabilities. Interestingly, Sharpen was originally the signature move of the Pokémon Porygon in Generation I, enhancing its utility by making it a more formidable attacker. Although it doesn't deal direct damage, Sharpen can be a strategic choice for setting up in battles to increase the potential damage of subsequent physical moves.
