Unseen-Fist

Unseen Fist is a unique ability in the Pokémon series that was introduced in Generation VIII. This ability is exclusive to certain Pokémon, most notably Urshifu. It possesses a significant tactical advantage in battles due to its specialized nature.

Effects:

  • Bypassing Protect and Detect: The primary effect of Unseen Fist is that it allows the Pokémon to deal damage with its contact moves even if the target has used moves like Protect or Detect. This means that the opponent cannot shield itself from direct attacks that require physical contact when facing a Pokémon with Unseen Fist.
  • Unblockable Contact Moves: Any move that involves physical contact will ignore standard defensive measures such as Protect, Detect, Spiky Shield, and King's Shield. This can keep an opponent on their toes, unable to predictably safeguard against incoming damage.

Interesting Facts:

  • Exclusivity: Unseen Fist is currently exclusive to Urshifu and its two forms: Single Strike Style Ursh
