Contact
From Bulbapedia, the community-driven Pokémon encyclopedia.
Contact is a term used to describe the condition when one Pokémon, in a battle physically touches the opponent in order to deal damage. Up until Generation IV, moves that make contact could be either physical moves or special moves; however, ever since the distinction between physical and special were no longer based on types, most moves that make contact are physical.
Effects of contact
- The use of contact-based moves can be affected by certain abilities of the foe, such as Cute Charm and Effect Spore.
- It can also be used to spread Pokérus.
