Spicy Extract raises the target's Attack and lowers the target's Defense, each by two stages. It bypasses accuracy checks to always hit, unless the target is in the semi-invulnerable turn of a move such as Dig or Fly.

Description

Games Description SV The user emits an incredibly spicy extract, sharply boosting the target's Attack stat and harshly lowering the target's Defense stat. ZA The user emits an incredibly spicy extract, which boosts targets' Attack stats but also lowers their Defense stats for a while.
