Hone-Claws Move Detail

Hone Claws is a Dark-type status move with no power and perfect accuracy. It raises the user's Attack and Accuracy stats by one stage each. Introduced in Generation V, Hone Claws is particularly valuable for physical attackers who benefit from boosted offensive capabilities and improved hit rates, especially when using moves with lower accuracy. This move is often used strategically to set up for stronger attacks in subsequent turns, making it a versatile choice in various battle situations.
