Tail Glow is a Bug-type status move with no power and perfect accuracy. When used, Tail Glow sharply increases the user's Special Attack stat by three stages, which can significantly boost the user's damage output in subsequent turns. Tail Glow is particularly powerful in competitive play due to this substantial increase in Special Attack, making it an excellent setup move for special attackers. Pokémon such as Volbeat and Manaphy are among those that can learn this move, leveraging it to potentially sweep opponents with highly enhanced special attacks.
