'''Block''' (Japanese: '''とおせんぼう''' ''Block'') is a non-damaging {{type|Normal}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation III]].


==Effect==
==Effect==
===Generation III to IV===
===Generations III and IV===
Block prevents the target from switching out. The effect only applies as long as the user is still in battle. The affected Pokémon can still switch out using {{m|Baton Pass}}, but in that case, the Pokémon that switches in will become trapped.  
Block [[Escape prevention|prevents]] the target from [[Recall|switching out]] or [[Escape|fleeing]] (including via {{m|Teleport}}). 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}}. The effect only applies as long as the Pokémon that used it remains in battle.
 
It is blocked by {{m|Protect}} and {{m|Detect}}.


If the user switches out using Baton Pass, the effects of Block will still apply to the target. Also, if the target is {{m|Roar}}ed at or hit with a {{m|Whirlwind}}, they will still be switched out.
The affected Pokémon can still switch out via {{m|Baton Pass}}, but in that case, the Pokémon that switches in will now be affected. Affected Pokémon can also switch out with {{m|U-turn}}. Conversely, the Pokémon that used Block can switch out with Baton Pass and the effects of Block will still apply. Also, if the affected Pokémon is {{m|Roar}}ed at or hit with a {{m|Whirlwind}}, they will still be switched out.


If a [[wild Pokémon]] uses Block on the player's Pokémon, the player will be unable to [[escape]], unless the player's Pokémon has {{a|Run Away}} or is holding a {{DL|In-battle effect item|Smoke Ball}}.
If a [[wild Pokémon]] uses Block on the player's Pokémon, the player will be unable to escape, unless the player's Pokémon has {{a|Run Away}} or is holding a [[Smoke Ball]].


===Generation V===
===Generation V===
If a Pokémon traps a target with Block and the user then switches out with Baton Pass the target will no longer be trapped.
If a Pokémon traps a target with Block and then switches with Baton Pass the target will no longer be trapped. Pokémon affected by Block can switch out with {{m|Volt Switch}}. Also, {{m|Dragon Tail}} and {{m|Circle Throw}} will force the affected Pokémon to switch out.
 
===Generation VI onward===
Block no longer affects {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon. It will now hit the target even if it has used {{m|Protect}}, {{m|Detect}}, or {{m|Spiky Shield}}, but will fail if the target is protected by {{m|Crafty Shield}}.
 
Pokémon affected by Block can also switch out with {{m|Parting Shot}} and {{m|Flip Turn}}.
 
Block can be used as part of a [[Contest combination|Contest Spectacular combination]], causing certain moves ({{m|Explosion}}, {{m|Memento}}, {{m|Perish Song}}, and {{m|Self-Destruct}}) to gain an extra three appeal points if they are used in the next turn.
 
If powered up by [[Normalium Z]] into Z-Block, the user's {{stat|Defense}} stat rises by one stage.

==In other games==
===[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series]]===
Block inflicts the {{DL|Status condition (Mystery Dungeon)|stuck}} (previously Leg Hold{{sup/md|RB}}/Shadow Hold{{sup/md|TDS}}) status condition which prevents the target from moving (but may attack), or switch places with the team leader. This status lasts for 2-5{{sup/md|RB}}{{sup/md|TDS}}/ 7{{sup/md|GtI}}{{sup/md|SMD}}turns. In {{pkmn|Super Mystery Dungeon}} Ghost-type Pokémon cannot become stuck.

==={{g|UNITE}}===
In Pokémon UNITE, Block is {{p|Snorlax}}'s second move. It is obtained by reaching level 7 upgrading {{m|Rest}} into it instead of {{m|Yawn}}. The user creates and holds a wall in a targeted direction for 4 seconds. Enemies that contact the wall are knocked back and stunned. The user cannot attack or use abilities while Blocking but can move slowly. While Blocking the user’s Defense and Sp. Defense are increased by 25%. At level 13, the user takes less damage while this move is in effect.

==Trivia==
=====In [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions|HeartGold and SoulSilver]]=====
* In [[Generation III]], the status screen erroneously states that the move has 100% accuracy, even though it ignores accuracy and evasion checks.
