Taunt Competitive Analysis

Taunt is one of the staple moves in competitive Pokemon. This move forces the target to only be able to use attacking moves for three turns.

Support Pokemon are usually the ones to run Taunt. This move is used in order to prevent either a sweeper from setting up, or an opposing support Pokemon from using support moves such as Light Screen, Reflect, Tailwind, or even Taunt itself.

Taunt Locations

Purchase from the Wild Area Trader

Pokemon Sword and Shield - Watt Trader.png
Taunt is available to purchase from the Watt Traders in the Wild Area for 2000 Watts.

The Watt Traders' selection of TM and TRs changes everyday so make sure to check what's in stock!

A Possible Drop from Max Raids
