'''False Swipe''' (Japanese: '''みねうち''' ''{{jwp|峰打ち|Strike with the Back of the Sword}}'') is a damage-dealing {{type|Normal}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation II]].
 
It is:
* [[TM54]] from [[Generation IV]] to {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, and in {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}.
* [[TM94]] in {{g|Sword and Shield}}.
* [[TM057]] in [[Generation IX]].


==Effect==
==Effect==
False Swipe inflicts damage and if False Swipe deals more damage than the target's current {{stat|HP}}, the target will always be left with 1 HP remaining. If the target has 1 HP remaining, False Swipe will hit and leave the target at 1 HP. This move is most often used to catch wild Pokémon.
False Swipe inflicts damage, but will leave the target with 1 [[HP]] if it would otherwise cause it to faint. If the target has 1 HP remaining, False Swipe will hit and leave the target at 1 HP.
 
False Swipe does not reduce its damage when hitting a {{OBP|substitute|doll}}.
 
False Swipe can be used as the second move of a [[Contest combination|Pokémon Contest combination]], with the user gaining 1 bonus appeal point if {{m|Swords Dance}} was used in the previous turn.


If used against a {{m|substitute}}, False Swipe is able to break it, and will not leave the decoy with 1 HP.
===Generation VIII===
====Pokémon Legends: Arceus====
False Swipe's PP was reduced to 30.

False Swipe deals damage. In the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team|Rescue Team]] and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Explorers]] series, False Swipe will leave the enemy with 1 HP. Despite being a damaging move that follows the normal damage calculation, it cannot be boosted with [[Ginseng]] in the Rescue Team series. This was fixed in the Explorers series.

In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity|Gates to Infinity]] and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX|Rescue Team DX]], False Swipe can cause the enemy to faint, increasing the [[Recruitment|chance of that Pokémon joining]] the team if it does. False Swipe's effect is reverted to that of the previous games in [[Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon|Super Mystery Dungeon]], as recruitment is not present in this entry.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*Due to the move's effect of always leaving the target with at least 1 HP, False Swipe is the only damaging move in the video games capable of doing zero damage on a successful strike (assuming no immunities). False Swipe can do zero damage on a target with exactly 1 HP left.
*False Swipe's Japanese name is a reference to katanas, which are designed to have a single cutting edge on one side, while the other side is mostly flat. Thus, striking the opponent with the flat side of the katana would not be fatal.
*Although {{p|Swablu}} can know False Swipe if hatched from the egg obtained in {{g|Box Ruby & Sapphire}}, it is incompatible with the TM introduced in [[Generation IV]] which teaches the same move.
*In [[Generation V]], some notable Pokémon that were capable of learning False Swipe through breeding in previous generations, are now unable to do so. This is probably due to the fact that [[TM]]s in Generation V have unlimited uses. Despite this, those Pokémon are now capable of learning False Swipe via TM directly.
* False Swipe is infamously used to capture legendary pokémon, as it eventually leaves the opponent with 1 HP.

In other games

Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series

False Swipe deals damage. In the Rescue Team and Explorers series, False Swipe will leave the enemy with 1 HP. Despite being a damaging move that follows the normal damage calculation, it cannot be boosted with Ginseng in the Rescue Team series. This was fixed in the Explorers series.

In Gates to Infinity and Rescue Team DX, False Swipe can cause the enemy to faint, increasing the chance of that Pokémon joining the team if it does. False Swipe's effect is reverted to that of the previous games in Super Mystery Dungeon, as recruitment is not present in this entry.

Trivia

  • False Swipe's Japanese name is a reference to katanas, which are designed to have a single cutting edge on one side, while the other side is mostly flat. Thus, striking the opponent with the flat side of the katana would not be fatal.
