Effect

This move effect may be in need of research. Reason: Does Aroma Veil protect form G-Max Meltdown's side effect? You can discuss this on the talk page.

G-Max Meltdown inflicts damage and subjects the target and its allies to the effects of Torment, preventing them from using the same move twice in a row. However, unlike the actual move, this effect wears off after 3 turns.

Its power and whether it is a special or physical move depends on the move it is based on.
