Ominous-Wind Move Detail

Ominous Wind is a Ghost-type move with 60 power and 100% accuracy. It has a 10% chance of raising all of the user's stats (Attack, Defense, Special Attack, Special Defense, and Speed) by one stage. Ominous Wind is particularly known for this secondary effect, which can turn the tide of a battle if triggered. It's a special attack move and has a PP (Power Points) of 5, which can be raised to 8 with PP Up or PP Max. While not as powerful as some other Ghost-type moves, its potential to boost the user’s stats makes it a valuable option in certain strategies and situations. It is favored in some competitive play for its potential to snowball a victory through stat boosts.
