Growl (Japanese: なきごえ Cry) is a non-damaging Normal-type move introduced in Generation I.

Effect

Generation I

Growl decreases the opponent's attack by 1 level.

Growl will do nothing if the opponent's attack has reached a level of -6 or a value of 1, and will fail if the opponent has a substitute or is under the effect of Mist. The effect of Growl is ignored by critical hits.
