Karate Chop is a Fighting-type move with 50 power and 100% accuracy. While its base power may appear modest, it has an increased critical hit ratio, making it more likely to land a critical hit compared to other moves. Originally, Karate Chop was classified as a Normal-type move in the first generation of Pokémon games but was later changed to a Fighting-type move from the second generation onwards. It's a classic move that many Fighting-type Pokémon can learn early in their leveling progression, making it a staple in the move sets of many fighting Pokémon.
