Double Team (Japanese: かげぶんしん Shadow Divide) is a non-damaging Template:Type2 move introduced in Generation I.

Effect

Double Team increases the user's evasion by 1 level.

Double Team will do nothing if the user's evasion has reached a level of +6.

In Super Smash Bros. Brawl Lucario uses the TM move Double Team, allowing it to create copies of itself for its opponent to attack, while the real Lucario sneaks up from behind to attack.
