Thousand Arrows (Japanese: サウザンアロー Thousand Arrows) is a damage-dealing Ground-type move introduced in Generation VI.

Effect

Thousand Arrows inflicts damage. Despite being a Ground-type move, it can damage Flying-type Pokémon, Pokémon with Levitate, Pokémon holding an Air Balloon, and Pokémon affected by Magnet Rise or Telekinesis.

Thousand Arrows removes the effects of Magnet Rise and Telekinesis. Thousand Arrows makes its target vulnerable to Ground-type moves and Arena Trap even if it is Flying-type or has Levitate. This effect lasts until the affected Pokémon switches out. This effect does not occur if the target is behind a substitute.

Thousand Arrows can hit Pokémon during the semi-invulnerable turns of Fly, Bounce, and Sky Drop, and if it does it will deal double damage. If it hits a Pokémon that is using Fly or Bounce, it will knock it down, cancelling the move; if it hits a Pokémon using or affected by Sky Drop, it will not be knocked down. A Pokémon hit with Thousand Arrows can still use these moves on subsequent turns.

Description

Games Description This move also hits opposing Pokémon that are in the air. Those Pokémon are knocked down to the ground.
