'''Minimize''' (Japanese: '''ちいさくなる''' ''Shrink'') is a non-damaging {{type2|Normal}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation I]].

===Generation I===
Minimize raises the user's {{stat|evasion}} stat.
Minimize raises the user's {{stat|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.  


Minimize will do nothing if the user's Evasion stat has reached a stage of +6.

===Generation II===
===Generations I and II===
In addition to its previous effects, Pokémon that have used Minimize will receive double damage from {{m|Stomp}}.
[[File:MinimizeG12.png|thumb|left|A minimized Pokémon in Generations I and II]]


===Generation III and on===
In Generations I and II, the user's sprite is replaced by a tiny, generic image if this move raises the user's evasion successfully.
Pokémon that have used Minimize no longer have their sprite replaced with a tiny generic image. All other effects are the same.
 
In Generation I only, it is only replaced by the tiny generic image if the battle animations are active.
 
If a Pokémon uses {{m|Transform}} on a minimized target, the user copies the target's regular sprite (rather than the tiny sprite). Similarly, if a minimized Pokémon uses Transform, its own tiny sprite is replaced by the target's regular sprite.
 
If a Pokémon's sprite has disappeared because it used {{m|Acid Armor}}, using Minimize will make it visible again as the tiny generic image.
 
===Generation III onwards===
If a Pokémon undergoes [[Dynamax]] after using Minimize, then boosted moves will not bypass accuracy and evasion.
 
If powered up by a [[Normalium Z]] into Z-Minimize, all of the user's lowered stats are reset.
 
===Vulnerability to moves===
Specific moves will hit with double power (Generation IV) or have their damage doubled (Generations II, III, and V onward) against targets that have used Minimize at least once. Additionally, from Generation VI onward, these moves also bypass accuracy and evasion checks in this case. If a Pokémon undergoes Dynamax after using Minimize, these moves will revert to dealing their usual damage.

==Trivia==
* In [[Generation I]] games, if the [[List of glitches (Generation I)#Substitute and Minimize glitch|player used Minimize]], then looked at the stats of a Pokémon in their party and then exited the menu, the opponent's Pokémon sprite would change to a glitchy version of the Pokémon that was just viewed.
* Minimize is one of three moves that have been used in a completed {{pkmn|anime}} [[series]], but not been seen in the English [[dub]]. The other two are {{m|Conversion}} and {{m|Ion Deluge}}.
* Despite {{pkmn|Legends: Arceus}} stating that all Pokémon share the ability to shrink, and this ability can be triggered by a Poké Ball as well, the pool of Pokémon who learn Minimize is small.

Generations I and II

A minimized Pokémon in Generations I and II

In Generations I and II, the user's sprite is replaced by a tiny, generic image if this move raises the user's evasion successfully.

In Generation I only, it is only replaced by the tiny generic image if the battle animations are active.

If a Pokémon uses Transform on a minimized target, the user copies the target's regular sprite (rather than the tiny sprite). Similarly, if a minimized Pokémon uses Transform, its own tiny sprite is replaced by the target's regular sprite.

If a Pokémon's sprite has disappeared because it used Acid Armor, using Minimize will make it visible again as the tiny generic image.

Generation III onwards

If a Pokémon undergoes Dynamax after using Minimize, then boosted moves will not bypass accuracy and evasion.

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

Vulnerability to moves

Specific moves will hit with double power (Generation IV) or have their damage doubled (Generations II, III, and V onward) against targets that have used Minimize at least once. Additionally, from Generation VI onward, these moves also bypass accuracy and evasion checks in this case. If a Pokémon undergoes Dynamax after using Minimize, these moves will revert to dealing their usual damage.

Pokkén Tournament

Minimize appears as one of Chandelure's Pokémon moves. Chandelure temporarily shrinks in size, rendering it immune to attacks until it reverts. While shrunken, Chandelure can also move to reposition itself to keep distance from the opponent.

Trivia

  • In Generation I games, if the player used Minimize, then looked at the stats of a Pokémon in their party and then exited the menu, the opponent's Pokémon sprite would change to a glitchy version of the Pokémon that was just viewed.
  • Minimize is one of three moves that have been used in a completed anime series, but not been seen in the English dub. The other two are Conversion and Ion Deluge.
  • Despite Legends: Arceus stating that all Pokémon share the ability to shrink, and this ability can be triggered by a Poké Ball as well, the pool of Pokémon who learn Minimize is small.
