Scale-Shot Move Detail
Scale Shot is a Dragon-type move with 25 power and 90% accuracy. The move hits 2 to 5 times in one turn. Each hit deals damage, and the total power can range from 50 to 125 if it hits 2 to 5 times, respectively. After using Scale Shot, the user's Speed stat is increased by one stage, but their Defense stat is lowered by one stage. This makes Scale Shot a high-risk, high-reward move, balancing increased offensive potential with decreased defensiveness. Introduced in Pokémon Sword and Shield, Scale Shot is especially useful for Dragon-type Pokémon looking to increase their Speed while dealing consistent damage.
