On Smogon's Movedex: Generation VIII Generation IX

Decorate (Japanese: デコレーション Decoration) is a non-damaging Fairy-type move introduced in Generation VIII. It is the signature move of Alcremie.

Effect

Decorate raises the target's Attack and Special Attack stats by two stages each. Unlike most moves, it bypasses moves like Protect, Detect, and even Max Guard to affect the target but is blocked by Crafty Shield. It cannot affect a target that has a substitute or in the semi-invulnerable turn of a move.

Generation VIII

Decorate cannot be selected in a battle.
