'''Defog''' (Japanese: '''きりばらい''' ''Fog Wipe'') is a non-damaging {{type|Flying}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation IV]]. It was [[HM05]] in {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, and it was [[TM97]] in {{2v2|Brilliant Diamond|Shining Pearl}}.

Defog cannot be used outside of battle without the {{badge|Fen}} in {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}} and the {{badge|Relic}} in {{v2|Platinum}}.

Defog lowers the target's {{stat|evasion}} one stage, even if the target is behind a {{m|substitute}}. It bypasses {{stat|accuracy}} checks to always hit, unless the target is in the [[semi-invulnerable turn]] of a move such as {{m|Dig}} or {{m|Fly}}.

 

Defog clears away any [[fog]] on the field, as well as {{m|Light Screen}}, {{m|Reflect}}, {{m|Safeguard}}, {{m|Mist}}, {{m|Spikes}}, {{m|Toxic Spikes}}, and {{m|Stealth Rock}} on the target's side of the field.

Defog can now be reflected with {{m|Magic Coat}} and no longer lowers the evasion of a Pokémon behind a {{m|substitute}}.

====Generations VI and VII====

 

 

 

===Outside of battle===

In certain games, Defog requires a specific [[badge]] to use outside of battle; the Fen Badge{{sup/4|DP}}{{sup/8|BDSP}} or Relic Badge{{sup/4|Pt}}.

 

Defog clears away [[fog]] from the area. The effect lasts until the {{player}} leaves the area.

* In {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, the Bag sprite for the HM containing Defog is mistakenly that of a {{type|Water}} HM, rather than a {{type|Flying}} one.

* Like {{m|Flash}} was in Generations {{gen|I}}, {{gen|II}}, and {{gen|III}}, Defog is not critical to the completion of the game, as a player can traverse foggy areas without using the move. However, unlike with dark caves requiring Flash to light them, foggy areas affect battles within them.

* In the {{pkmn|anime}}, {{m|Gust}} and {{m|Whirlwind}} have sometimes been used in a similar manner to Defog.

* If a player teaches a Pokémon the move Defog by HM in Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, or Platinum, and then trades it to {{game3|HeartGold and SoulSilver|Pokémon HeartGold or SoulSilver|s}}, the Pokémon can be freely imported to {{game3|Black and White|Pokémon Black or White|s}} via the [[Poké Transfer]], due to Defog not being needed outside of battle in HeartGold and SoulSilver. The same can be done with {{m|Whirlpool}} by transferring a Pokémon that learned it by HM in HeartGold or SoulSilver to Diamond, Pearl, or Platinum.

* Despite being able to learn Defog in previous generations, {{p|Charizard}}, {{p|Ledian}}, the {{p|Torchic}} evolutionary line, {{p|Seedot}}, {{p|Nuzleaf}}, {{p|Volbeat}}, {{p|Illumise}}, the {{p|Swablu}} evolutionary line, {{p|Castform}}, {{p|Chimecho}}, {{p|Rayquaza}}, {{p|Carnivine}}, and {{p|Rotom}} are all unable to learn Defog in [[Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl]].
