Scary Face
NormalSummary
Scary Face is a Normal-type status move with zero power and 100% accuracy. It sharply reduces the target's Speed stat by two stages, making it an effective move for slowing down faster opponents. Scary Face is commonly used in strategic battles to gain a speed advantage, allowing slower Pokémon to potentially outspeed their opponents after its usage. Despite its lack of direct damage, the move can significantly impact the flow of a battle by altering turn order dynamics.
Effect
