Night Slash is a Dark-type move with 70 power and 100% accuracy. It has an increased critical hit ratio, making it more likely to deal extra damage by landing a critical hit compared to other moves. Night Slash is a physical attack and is often favored by Pokémon with high Attack stats. The move was introduced in Generation IV and has since become popular among Dark-type Pokémon and those with access to a wide variety of moves. Its potential for critical hits makes it particularly useful for breaking through defensive opponents.
