On Smogon's Movedex:

Minimize (Japanese: ちいさくなる Shrink) is a non-damaging Normal-type move introduced in Generation I.

Effect

	This move effect may be in need of research. Reason: As of Gen VII, Heavy Slam appears to also do double damage. Is this true of Gen VI as well? You can discuss this on the talk page.

A minimized Pokémon in Generations I and II

Generation I

Minimize raises the user's evasion stat by one stage and replaces the user's regular image with a tiny, generic image until the user faints or is switched out, or the battle ends.

Generation II

Stomp will now have its power doubled when it hits a Pokémon that has used Minimize.

Generation III

Pokémon that have used Minimize will now receive double damage when hit by Stomp, Astonish, Extrasensory, and Needle Arm.

Pokémon that have used Minimize no longer have their sprite replaced with a tiny generic image.

Generation IV

Stomp is now the only move that will have its power doubled against a Pokémon that has used Minimize; Astonish, Extrasensory, and Needle Arm will now deal regular damage.

Generation V

Minimize now raises the user's evasion by two stages.

Pokémon that have used Minimize will now receive double damage from Stomp and Steamroller.

Generation VI

Minimize's PP changed from 20 to 10.

The moves Stomp, Steamroller, Body Slam, Dragon Rush, Flying Press, Shadow Force and Phantom Force will now never miss and deal double the damage when used against a Pokémon that has used Minimize.

Generation VII

Heavy Slam will also never miss and deal double the damage when used against a Pokémon that has used Minimize.

If powered up by a Normalium Z into Z-Minimize, all of the user's lowered stats are reset.
