Payback Move Detail
Payback is a Dark-type move with 50 power and 100% accuracy. It has a unique characteristic that allows its power to double to 100 if the user moves after the target in the same turn. This makes Payback particularly effective for slower Pokémon or in situations where the user is likely to take a hit before attacking. Payback is a physical move, benefiting Pokémon with high Attack stats. Due to its conditional power boost, it adds a strategic element to battles, encouraging players to consider turn order when planning their moves.
