Nuzzle (ほっぺすりすり Cheek Rub) is an Electric-type move introduced in Generation VI.

Effect

Nuzzle does damage and paralyzes the target. Paralyzed Pokémon have a 25% chance of not being able to attack, and their Speed is decreased by 50% (75% in Generation VI). In a Double Battle, Nuzzle can target any Pokémon around the user. In a Triple Battle, Nuzzle can only target a Pokémon that's adjacent to the user.

Description

Games	Description
XYORAS	The user attacks by nuzzling its electrified cheeks against the target. This also leaves the target with paralysis.
SMUSUM	The user nuzzles its cheeks on the target. In addition, it may leave the target with paralysis.
