How it works in Champions
If this move is successful, it sets up a hazard on the opposing side of the field, damaging each opposing Pokémon that switches in. Foes lose 1/32, 1/16, 1/8, 1/4, or 1/2 of their maximum HP, rounded down, based on their weakness to the Rock type; 0.25×, 0.5×, neutral, 2×, or 4×, respectively. Can be removed from the opposing side if any Pokémon uses Tidy Up, or if any opposing Pokémon uses Mortal Spin, Rapid Spin, or Defog successfully, or is hit by Defog.
