Will O Wisp

Fire

Summary

Will-O-Wisp is a Fire-type status move with no power and 85% accuracy. It does not deal damage but inflicts the Burn status condition on the target. Burned Pokémon have their Attack stat halved and take damage equal to 1/16th of their maximum HP at the end of each turn. Will-O-Wisp is highly strategic, commonly used to cripple physical attackers and wear down opponents over time. It is especially useful in competitive play for its ability to hinder the performance of physically offensive Pokémon. Despite its relatively modest accuracy, its utility makes it a valuable move in many strategies.

Effect
