==Effect==
==Effect==
===Generation III to IV===
===Generations III and IV===
Block prevents the target from switching out or fleeing (including via {{m|Teleport}}). The effect only applies as long as the Pokémon that used it remains in battle.
Block prevents the target from switching out or fleeing (including via {{m|Teleport}}). It bypasses {{stat|accuracy}} checks to always hit, unless the opponent is in the {{cat|Moves with a semi-invulnerable turn|semi-invulnerable turn}} of a move such as {{m|Dig}} or {{m|Fly}}. The effect only applies as long as the Pokémon that used it remains in battle.


The affected Pokémon can still switch out via {{m|Baton Pass}}, but in that case, the Pokémon that switches in will now be affected. Affected Pokémon can also switch out with {{m|U-turn}}. Conversely, the Pokémon that used Block can switch out with Baton Pass and the effects of Block will still apply. Also, if the affected Pokémon is {{m|Roar}}ed at or hit with a {{m|Whirlwind}}, they will still be switched out.

If a [[wild Pokémon]] uses Block on the player's Pokémon, the player will be unable to [[escape]], unless the player's Pokémon has {{a|Run Away}} or is holding a {{DL|In-battle effect item|Smoke Ball}}.

Line 50: Line 55:
If a Pokémon traps a target with Block and then switches with Baton Pass the target will no longer be trapped. Pokémon affected by Block can switch out with {{m|Volt Switch}}. Also, {{m|Dragon Tail}} and {{m|Circle Throw}} will force the affected Pokémon to switch out.

===Generation VI===
===Generation VI onward===
Block no longer affects {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon.
Block no longer affects {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon. Pokémon affected by Block can also switch out with {{m|Parting Shot}}.
 
If powered up by {{DL|Z-Crystal|Normalium Z}} into Z-Block, the user's {{stat|Defense}} stat raises one stage.

Block (Japanese: とおせんぼう Block) is a non-damaging Normal-type move introduced in Generation III.

Effect

Generations III and IV

Block prevents the target from switching out or fleeing (including via Teleport). It bypasses accuracy checks to always hit, unless the opponent is in the semi-invulnerable turn of a move such as Dig or Fly. The effect only applies as long as the Pokémon that used it remains in battle.

The affected Pokémon can still switch out via Baton Pass, but in that case, the Pokémon that switches in will now be affected. Affected Pokémon can also switch out with U-turn. Conversely, the Pokémon that used Block can switch out with Baton Pass and the effects of Block will still apply. Also, if the affected Pokémon is Roared at or hit with a Whirlwind, they will still be switched out.

If a wild Pokémon uses Block on the player's Pokémon, the player will be unable to escape, unless the player's Pokémon has Run Away or is holding a Smoke Ball.

Generation V

If a Pokémon traps a target with Block and then switches with Baton Pass the target will no longer be trapped. Pokémon affected by Block can switch out with Volt Switch. Also, Dragon Tail and Circle Throw will force the affected Pokémon to switch out.

Generation VI onward

Block no longer affects Ghost-type Pokémon. Pokémon affected by Block can also switch out with Parting Shot.

If powered up by Normalium Z into Z-Block, the user's Defense stat raises one stage.
