Pokémon/Competitive battling/Moves: Difference between revisions

When you have the Freeze status, you cannot attack at all (unless the move happens to be Sacred Fire, or Flame Wheel) and you have to wait until you defrost or use certain moves to defrost yourself. Other Pokémon (opponent or friendly) can also defrost you, and certain items can defrost you. If Sunny Day is in play, you cannot get the Freeze condition. Also, switching to a Pokémon, using Sunny Day, then switching back to the frozen Pokémon will result in your Pokémon becoming defrosted. You will also be defrosted if your opponent attacks you with any Fire-type move or the move [[bp:Scald (move) |Scald]]. If [[bp:Fire Spin (move)|Fire Spin]], [[bp:Flame Wheel (move)|Flame Wheel]], or [[bp:Sacred Fire (move)|Sacred Fire]] is used by the frozen Pokémon or its opponent, then the frozen Pokémon will be defrosted. If you have another Pokémon in your party that knows [[bp:Heal Bell (move)|Heal Bell]] or [[bp:Aromatherapy (move)|Aromatherapy]], then you can switch to that Pokémon, use that move, and your frozen Pokémon will be defrosted. This is the worst Status Effect since there is little you can do to become defrosted. Having a Burnt Berry, Miracleberry, Aspear Berry, or Lum Berry attached will cure this Status Effect. More about Items Attachment later.

Accuracy denotes the probabilty of a move hitting you. Decreasing Accuracy one stage decreases the original accuracy of the incoming move to 67.4%, two stages to 53.3%, three stages to 42.5%, four stages to 40.4%, five stages to 32.9%, and six stages to 28.4%. These values are experimental values, but they should be a close estimate. Higher power moves generally have lower accuracy along with lower PP.
