Follow Me (move)

Follow Me (Japanese: このゆびとまれ Stay With This Finger) is a non-damaging Normal-type move introduced in Generation III.

Effect

Follow Me forces opposing Pokémon to target the user rather than the user's partner during double battles. This is an increased priority move, and therefore will always go before attacks during the turn.

If the user's partner is switching out, Follow Me will not divert an opponent from using Pursuit on its partner. Follow Me does not stop the effects of moves which hit multiple Pokémon in a battle.
