Play Nice (Japanese: なかよくする Make Friends) is a non-damaging Normal-type move introduced in Generation VI.

Effect

Play Nice lowers the target's Attack stat by one stage and bypasses accuracy checks to always hit, unless the opponent is in the semi-invulnerable turn of a move such as Dig or Fly. It will hit the target even if it has used Protect, Detect, or Spiky Shield, but will fail if the target is protected by Crafty Shield.

Description

Games Description XYORAS SM Demo The user and the target become friends, and the target loses its will to fight. This lowers the target's Attack stat.
