Tickle

Attack Information

Tickle will lower the opponent's Attack and Defense by 1 step on the Stat growth scale.

Tickle will always fail if it has already been used 6 times on the same pokemon, without a move that raises Attack and/or Defense being used by or against the pokemon affected by Tickle. This is due to the fact that a stat may only be lowered by a maximum of 6 steps, until it is reset by the use of Haze or the pokemon is switched out normally. The maximum is the limit of how many decreases can be applied to a stat. If another move decreases the Attack and/or Defense stats of the pokemon that Tickle is used against, the number of steps that it decreases the Attack and/or Defense stats by will count toward the 6 step limit, and reduce the number of times that Tickle can be used appropriately.

Tickle is affected by Brightpowder when the opposing pokémon is equipped with it.
