Parting-Shot Move Detail

Parting Shot is a Dark-type status move with no power but 100% accuracy. When used, it lowers the target's Attack and Special Attack by one stage each and then switches the user out to a teammate of the player's choice. This move is particularly useful in competitive play for disrupting opponents' strategies and gaining momentum by safely switching in a new Pokémon. Parting Shot is known for its strategic value in maintaining team synergy and providing opportunities to pivot into more advantageous matchups. It is often seen on supportive or utility Pokémon.
