Competitive Analysis

Imprison is mainly used as an indirect counter to the move Protect. Any Pokemon of the opposing team cannot use any move that the user knows, which is Protect in this case, as long as it is in battle.

By doing this, your opponent will have one less defensive or stall options as it cannot use Protect, unless they are running Pokemon with Detect.
