Targets a single adjacent Pokemon.
Defog lowers the target's Evasion by one stage. Stats can be lowered to a minimum of -6 stages each.
Defog also clears foggy weather in battle (which causes Accuracy loss when present), and on the target's side of the field only, the effects of Light Screen, Reflect, Mist, Safeguard, Spikes, Stealth Rock and Toxic Spikes.
Defog can be used to clear foggy areas (fog will return upon leaving and re-entering the area). So far only Sinnoh has experienced foggy weather. In Diamond & Pearl, Defog cannot be used outside of battle before obtaining the Fen Badge (Pastoria City Gym); In Platinum it cannot be used before the Relic Badge (Hearthome City Gym).
