Nuzzle (Japanese: ほっぺすりすり Cheek Rub) is a damage-dealing Electric-type move introduced in Generation VI.
Contents
Effect
Nuzzle inflicts damage and paralyzes its target when it hits.
Nuzzle can also be used as part of a Contest Spectacular combination, with the user gaining an extra three appeal points if the move Charge was used in the prior turn. It can also be used to start a combination, causing Hex and Smelling Salts to give extra three appeal points if either of them is used in the next turn.
