Torment (move)

Torment (Japanese: いちゃもん Falsely Accuse) is a non-damaging Dark-type attack.

Effect
Torment, if successful, prevents the target from using the same attack twice in a row. If the target is locked into using a single attack, such as through Encore, then they are forced to Struggle every other turn. Torment will not prevent multi-turn attacks, such as Shadow Dance, from hitting each consecutive turn and only takes effect once the multi-turn attack ends. Struggle is immune to the effects of Torment. Torment's effect lingers until the target switches out.

Torment can also be used as part of a Puppet Contest combination, with the user gaining extra two appeal points if the attack Nasty Plot was used in the prior turn.
