Signal Beam

Bug

Summary

Signal Beam is a Bug-type move with 75 power and 100% accuracy. It has a 10% chance of confusing the target. Signal Beam stands out due to its ability to hit Psychic- and Dark-type Pokémon effectively. This move is especially useful for Pokémon that need coverage against these types. It is also a special attack, making it a valuable option for special attackers looking to diversify their move sets. Prior to Generation VIII, Signal Beam was widely accessible through various move tutors and learned naturally by several Pokémon. However, it was removed from the game's move pool in Generation VIII, making it a nostalgic yet effective move from past games.
