Steel (Poké Assist)

Steel is a Poké Assist that Pokémon can use during Captures in Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia and Pokémon Ranger: Guardian Signs.

Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia

Glossary

This Poké Assist forms an orb of energy at the Capture Disc. The orb grows larger while the Capture Line is drawn. Slide the Capture Disc, then life the Styler to flick the orb in the same direction.
If the orb hits a Pokémon, points are added to its Friendship Gauge. It also temporarily changes the Pokémon's status to "Paused," which disables attacks. If the energy orb is big, more points are added to the hit Pokémon's Friendship Gauge. It also extends the time that the hit Pokémon is "Paused."
