Foul-Play Move Detail
Foul Play is a Dark-type move with 95 power and 100% accuracy. Unlike most moves, Foul Play uses the target's Attack stat to calculate damage instead of the user's. This makes it particularly effective against physically strong opponents. Foul Play has no additional effects or secondary chances, making it a straightforward, yet strategically unique move. It is often used in competitive play to counter powerful physical attackers by turning their own strength against them.
