Odor-Sleuth Move Detail

Odor Sleuth is a Normal-type non-damaging move with no power and perfect accuracy. Its primary function is to neutralize the evasiveness of Ghost-type Pokémon, making them susceptible to Normal- and Fighting-type moves. Additionally, it removes any changes to the target's evasion, ensuring that subsequent attacks will hit. Introduced in Generation III, Odor Sleuth is particularly useful in battles against evasive opponents and Ghost-types, which are normally immune to Normal and Fighting attacks.
