Summary

TM54 (False Swipe) is a Technical Machine (TM) in the Pokémon series that allows a Pokémon to learn the move False Swipe. The primary effect of False Swipe is that it ensures the target is left with at least 1 HP if it would otherwise be knocked out by the move. This unique mechanic makes the move particularly valuable for capturing wild Pokémon, as it allows trainers to weaken the Pokémon without the risk of accidentally causing it to faint.

False Swipe is a Normal-type move with 40 base power and 100% accuracy. Despite its relatively low power, its utility in capturing Pokémon makes it a go-to move for many Pokémon trainers, especially those aiming to fill their Pokédex or hunt for specific Pokémon with desirable traits.
