Withdraw Competitive Analysis

WIthdraw is a good defensive move as it raises the user's Defense by one stage.

However, the effect isn't strong enough to warrant running this on any Pokemon. If you are looking for something defensive, we would suggest simply running protecting moves.

Withdraw Locations

Withdraw can only be learned via Level Up or by Default.
