Block (move)

Block is a non-damaging Normal-type move.

Effect
Block traps the target in battle, preventing it from fleeing. It bypasses accuracy checks to always hit, unless the target is in the semi-invulnerable turn of a move such as Dig or Fly. The effect only applies as long as the Pokémon that used it remains in battle.

Ghost-type Pokémon are not affected, nor are Pokémon using Baton Pass, Volt Switch, U-turn or Parting Shot. Affected Pokémon can also be forced out by Roar or Dragon Tail. Block will fail if the target is protected by Crafty Shield.
