Spotlight (Japanese: スポットライト Spotlight) is a non-damaging Normal-type move introduced in Generation VII.
Contents
Effect
Generation VII
Spotlight causes the move's target to become the center of attention, forcing all attacks from the target's foes to target it instead of their intended target. This effect overrides any other forms of redirection, either through moves like Follow Me and Rage Powder, Abilities like Storm Drain and Lightning Rod, or Ally Switch.
If powered up by a Normalium Z into Z-Spotlight, the user's Special Defense stat rises by 1 stage.
Generation VIII
Spotlight cannot be selected in a battle.
