Confide (Japanese: ないしょばなし Secret Talk) is a non-damaging Normal-type move introduced in Generation VI. It is TM100 as of Generation VI.

Effect

Confide lowers the target's Special Attack stat by one stage and is unaffected by modifications to the accuracy stat and evasion stat. It will hit the target even if it has used Protect, Detect, or Spiky Shield, but will fail if it is protected by Crafty Shield. Pokémon with the Ability Soundproof are not affected by this move.

Description

Games Description The user tells the target a secret, and the target loses its ability to concentrate. This lowers the target's Sp. Atk. stat.
