Acid (Japanese: ようかいえき Melting Liquid) is a damage-dealing Template:Type2 move introduced in Generation I.

Effect

Generations I and II

Acid does damage and has a 10% chance of lowering the target's Defense by one stage.

Acid will not be able to lower the target's Defense if it has reached a level of -6 or a value of one, or if the target has a Substitute.

Generation III

Acid will hit both opponents in a Double Battle.

Generation IV

Acid has a 10% chance of lowering the target's Special Defense by one stage rather than Defense.

Trivia

  • Acid is the only damaging Poison-type move that does not have a chance of poisoning the target.
  • Acid has no effect on Template:Type2 Pokémon, despite that real-life acids react very strongly with most metals.
  • No Pokémon from generations II and IV can learn Acid via level-up, rather only by evolution, and even then this only applies to Gloom and Belossom.
