Pokemon can wear armor too, armor helps
protect a Pokemon from harm though
sometimes at a loss of speed.
Light Pokemon Armor raises the
Pokemons Defense and Special Defense
one combat stage
Medium Pokemon Armor raises the
Pokemons Defense and Special Defense
two combat stages, but their speed is
lowered by one combat stage.
Heavy Pokemon Armor raises the
Pokemons Defense and Special Defense

Any armor you can create with Armorsmith you can create for Pokemon but at half the cost unless the target is
above medium, in which case it costs one and a half times as much as normal.
