'''Decorate''' (Japanese: '''デコレーション''' ''Decoration'') is a non-damaging {{type|Fairy}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation VIII]]. It is the [[signature move]] of {{p|Alcremie}}.<br />
<br />
==Effect==<br />
Decorate raises the target's {{stat|Attack}} and {{stat|Special Attack}} stats by two stages each. Unlike most moves, it bypasses moves like {{m|Protect}}, {{m|Detect}}, and even {{m|Max Guard}} to affect the target but is blocked by {{m|Crafty Shield}}. It cannot affect a target that has a {{OBP|substitute|doll}} or in the [[semi-invulnerable turn]] of a move. It is not reflected by [[Magic Coat (move)|Magic Coat]] or [[Magic Bounce (Ability)|Magic Bounce]].<br />
<br />
===Generation VIII===<br />
====Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl====<br />
Decorate cannot be selected in a battle.<br />
<br />
===Generation IX===<br />
In Versions 1.0 to 2.0.2 of {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, Decorate could not be selected in a battle. Starting with Version 3.0.0, it is usable and functions the same as it did in the previous generation.<br />
