Intimidate lowers the opponent's {{stat|Attack}} stat by one stage upon entering the battle. It is triggered both when a battle begins and when a Pokémon with Intimidate switches into battle. It affects all opponents in [[Double Battle]]s but will only affect adjacent opponents in [[Triple Battle]]s.
====Generation III====
When a Pokémon with Intimidate enters the battle, it lowers the {{stat|Attack}} stat of all adjacent opponents by one stage


In Generations {{gen|III}} and {{gen|IV}}, Intimidate's activation message reads, "<Pokémon>'s Intimidate cuts <opponent>'s attack!" In [[Generation V]], the message changed to "<Opponent>'s Attack fell!"
