Competitive Analysis

Tail Whip has the effect of lowering the target's Defense by one stage. This move is niche, and may be helpful for defensive or stall teams in being able to handle better opposing Pokemon. A better alternative to this move is Screech since it lowers the target's Defense by two stages.
