Leer (Japanese: にらみつける Glare) is a non-damaging Normal-type move introduced in Generation I.

Effect

Leer decreases the Defense stat of all adjacent opponents by one stage.

Leer can be used as the first move of a Pokémon Contest combination, causing Bite, Faint Attack, Glare, Horn Attack, Scary Face, Scratch, Stomp, and Tackle to score double the normal appeal if used in the next turn. It can also be used to finish a combination, with the user gaining 3 bonus appeal points if Rage or Scary Face was used in the previous turn.

If powered up by a Normalium Z into Z-Leer, the user's Attack stat rises one stage.
