Move Detail

Fake-Out Move Detail

Fake Out is a Normal-type move with 40 power and 100% accuracy. This move has a unique property that allows it to always go first, provided it is used on the first turn the user is out. Fake Out causes flinching, making the target unable to act for that turn. This move is highly strategic in battles, particularly in Double Battles, as it can disrupt the opponent's initial strategy and provide an advantageous setup for the user's team. However, Fake Out can only be used once per appearance of the Pokémon, and its effectiveness diminishes if not used immediately after the Pokémon enters the battlefield.
