Armor Leech (Japanese: 攻撃時防御能力吸収Absorb Defense During Attack) is a family of skills in Pokémon Masters EX.
Effect
When the Pokémon successfully lands an attack on the target, it has a chance of lowering the target's Defense by one stat rank. After the target's Defense is lowered, the user will have its Defense raised by one stat rank. The skill can range from Armor Leech 1 to Armor Leech 9, with higher numbered skills resulting in a higher chance of activation. Armor Leech 9 will always lower the target's Defense by one stat rank and raise the user's by the same amount. Currently, only Armor Leech 9 is available on scoutable sync pairs. The skill applies to the Pokémon's usual attack moves, including buddy moves, but not sync moves or max moves.
