Disables the foe's most recent move.
Disable is a Normal-type status move that prevents the target from using the last move it used for a duration of 4 move opportunities. Disable will set a counter that starts at 5 and decrements each turn. This means that if the counter is 5, and the foe uses a move, it is also decremented. Because of this it lasts for 4 move uses.
Disable can disrupt an opponent's strategy by limiting their available options in battle. In Polished Crystal, Disable follows the modern game mechanics.
It can be learned by various Normal-type Pokémon, providing them with a tactical tool to hinder their foes and gain an advantage in combat.
