Summary

Darkest Lariat is a Dark-type move with 85 power and 100% accuracy. This physical attack ignores any stat changes in the target when calculating damage, making it particularly useful against opponents that have boosted their Defense or lowered the user's Attack. Introduced in Generation VII, it is the signature move of Incineroar, though it can be learned by other Pokémon through various means. Darkest Lariat is favored for its unique ability to bypass stat buffs and debuffs, offering strategic advantages in both casual and competitive play.
