Solar Beam

Grass

Summary

Solar Beam is a Grass-type move with 120 power and 100% accuracy. It requires a turn to charge up before striking, but under sunny weather conditions, Solar Beam can be used immediately without the need to charge. This move is known for its high base power, making it a formidable choice despite the charging requirement. Solar Beam is widely used by Grass-type Pokémon and can be a crucial move in battles, especially when paired with abilities or moves that create sunny weather, like Drought or Sunny Day.

Effect
