Skitter-Smack Move Detail

Skitter Smack is a Bug-type move with 70 power and 90% accuracy. It has the additional effect of lowering the target's Special Attack by one stage, which can be strategically useful in battles. Skitter Smack's ability to reduce the opponent's offensive capability makes it a valuable move for turning the tide in prolonged battles, especially against special attackers. It was introduced in Generation VIII as part of the Isle of Armor expansion for Pokémon Sword and Shield. This move can be learned by a variety of Pokémon, offering them a useful option to weaken special attackers they face.
