Effect
|
This move effect may be in need of research. Reason: Check Defeatist's mechanics when using Body Press under 50% HP. Also Protosynthesis/Quark Drive You can discuss this on the talk page. |
|---|
Body Press inflicts damage, but it uses the user's Defense stat instead of its Attack stat to calculate damage.
Defense stat stage-modifiers are applied (rather than Attack stage-modifiers), but otherwise Attack modifiers are used (including held item, Ability, and burn). For example, Huge Power or a held Choice Band will increase the stat used in calculation, whereas Fur Coat or a held Eviolite will not. In contrast, Slow Start will decrease the stat used in calculation.

Trivia
- This move originated as a TCG attack.
- Along with Life Dew, Body Press is one of the only Generation VIII moves to be usable in Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl.
- This makes the two moves currently the only moves introduced after Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon that can be Sketched, as Sketch is not in any other game released after Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon.
