Crunch (Japanese: かみくだく Crunch) is a damage-dealing Template:Type2 move introduced in Generation II. It can be seen as a more powerful version of Bite mainly because it causes small rocks to fly out once the user bites the opponent.

Effect

Generation II and III

Crunch does damage and has a 10% chance of lowering the target's Special Defense stat by one stage.

Generation IV

Crunch does damage and has a 10% chance of lowering the target's Defense stat by one stage.
