Shelter

Steel

Summary

Shelter is a Steel-type move that does not deal direct damage, so it has no power or accuracy statistics. Instead, Shelter is a status move that sharply raises the user's Defense stat by two stages. This makes it a valuable move for stalling strategies or for setting up a defensive position in battle. Additionally, as a Steel-type move, it benefits from the natural resistances of Steel-types, making it particularly useful for Steel-type Pokémon to bolster their already strong defenses. Shelter is especially useful in competitive play for creating opportunities to outlast and weaken the opponent while preparing for a counterattack.
