Growl (Japanese: なきごえ Cry) is a non-damaging Normal-type move introduced in Generation I.
Effect
Growl decreases the Attack stat of all adjacent opponents by one stage. It does not affect Pokémon with the Abilities Soundproof, Hyper Cutter, Clear Body, White Smoke, or Full Metal Body.
If powered up by a Normalium Z into Z-Growl, the user's Defense stat rises by one stage.
Growl can also be used as part of a Pokémon Contest combination, with the user gaining extra two appeal points if the move Charm was used in the prior turn.
