Silk-Trap Move Detail

Silk Trap is a Bug-type status move introduced in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet. This move does not deal any damage, hence it has no power or accuracy values. When used, Silk Trap protects the user from all effects of moves that target them during that turn, similar to moves like Protect. Additionally, if an opponent makes contact with the user while Silk Trap is active, their Speed is lowered by one stage. This move is particularly useful for setting up strategic plays by protecting the user and hindering the opponent's speed, making it a valuable addition to the competitive scene for Bug-type Pokémon and defensive strategies.
