Needle Arm

Grass

Summary

Needle-Arm is a Grass-type move with 60 power and 100% accuracy. It has a 30% chance of causing the target to flinch, preventing them from acting on that turn. Needle-Arm is notable for its secondary effect and for being the signature move of Cacturne in the earlier generations. While its base power isn't particularly high compared to other Grass-type moves, the added flinch chance can be strategically valuable in battle, especially when used by faster Pokémon or in combination with other flinch-inducing strategies.
