Fillet-Away is a Normal-type move that is not characterized by power or accuracy parameters because it is a status move, rather than a damaging one. This move typically involves a setup strategy, where the user boosts its own stats to gain a significant advantage in battle. Interestingly, Fillet-Away increases the user's Attack, Special Attack, and Speed stats by two stages, making it a powerful move for sweeping opponents. Unfortunately, this substantial benefit comes at the cost of lowering the user's own HP by half of its maximum HP, creating a high-risk, high-reward scenario for the player. Fillet-Away is often used strategically in competitive play by Pokémon that have moves or abilities to recover health or mitigate the drawbacks of the HP loss.
