Attack and Defense Reduction On Opponent After Move
Passive Skill
Lowers the target's Attack or Defense—or both—by one stat rank when the user's move targeting that opponent is successful.

Dishearten (Japanese: 相手に技後攻撃防御↓ Attack and Defense Reduction On Opponent After Move) is a skill in Pokémon Masters EX.

Effect

When the sync pair successfully uses a move, it has a chance of lowering the target's Attack, Defense, or both by one stat rank. Currently, only Dishearten 9 is available on scoutable sync pairs, which guarantees the reduction of at least one stat. The skill applies to both the Trainer's and the Pokémon's moves, including buddy moves, but not sync moves or max moves.
