Smelling-Salts Move Detail

Smelling-Salts is a Normal-type move with 70 power and 100% accuracy. It has a unique effect in which, if the target is paralyzed, Smelling-Salts will deal double damage, effectively making its power 140 in such situations. Additionally, using Smelling-Salts on a paralyzed target will cure the paralysis. This move can be strategically used to turn a paralyzed condition into a high-damage opportunity, though the side effect of curing the paralysis means that it must be used carefully in battle. Smelling-Salts is not among the most commonly used moves but can be highly effective in specific situations within both casual and competitive play.
