I was wondering if I use a move such as Sand-Attack repeatedly on an enemy will it keep on reducing it's accuracy or is there a point where it becomes ineffective to use?

Do moves that decrease accuracy, defense, attack, or a certain stat stack on top of each other?

Yes, stat modifying moves do stack. When the modifier reaches its limit (which does exist - 6 modifiers up or down, or a max of 4 times or 0.25 times the original stat), the message upon trying to modify the stat again will be something along the lines of "Vulpix's attack won't go any lower!".

    Wow, you beat me to it. I still remember the times where Metapod would harden until "its defense won't go up". – Nolonar Oct 6 '13 at 13:36
