In game description
A strong wind blows away the target's barriers such as Reflect or Light Screen. This also lowers the target's evasiveness.

Using Defog in Cobblemon
Defog deals no damage, so its value is entirely in what it sets up. Status moves are usually the difference in a close gym fight, and sleep or paralysis also make a wild Pokemon far easier to catch.
Check the type chart before relying on it, and look up specific targets in the Pokedex where dual-type multipliers are already worked out.
