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

Effect

Generation I

Minimize increases the user's evasion by 1 level 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 has reached a level of +6.

Generation II

Pokémon that have used Minimize take double damage from Stomp.

Generation III

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