Taunt (move)

Taunt (Japanese: ちょうはつ Taunt) is a non-damaging Dark-type attack.

Effect
Taunt prevents the target from using status attacks for two turns. If the targeted Puppet is slower than the Taunt user and tries to use a status attack on the same turn, the target's attack will fail. The targeted Puppet will be forced to use Struggle until the Taunt effect wears off if the target has no damaging attacks or is otherwise locked into a status attack (such as through Encore).

Charming Look is a similar attack with different distribution, but it can be reflected by Magic Coat.

Taunt 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 or the attack Counter, Mirror Coat, or Detect is used in the following turn.
