Spotlight Move Detail
Spotlight is a Normal-type status move with no power and perfect accuracy. When used, it forces the target to become the center of attention, making all single-target moves from other Pokémon during that turn target the Pokémon under Spotlight’s effect. Spotlight is often used strategically in Double Battles to redirect attacks away from an ally or to control the flow of the battle. Unlike many other status moves, Spotlight does not directly cause any damage or inflict status conditions but can significantly influence the outcome by manipulating targeting priorities.
