Kinesis Move Detail
Kinesis is a Psychic-type move with no base power and 80% accuracy. Instead of causing direct damage, Kinesis reduces the target's accuracy by one stage. It is the signature move of the Pokémon Kadabra and Alakazam. Though not commonly used in competitive play due to its relatively low accuracy and the fact that it doesn't inflict damage, Kinesis can be strategically valuable in battles where reducing the opponent's accuracy is crucial. It is one of the few moves that the Alakazam line learns that directly affects the opponent’s stats, adding a unique twist to their combat strategy.
