Pokémon UNITE

In Pokémon UNITE, Razor Leaf is Decidueye's and Tsareena's first move, as well as Venusaur's second move.

Venusaur starts with the move as Bulbasaur. The user launches a barrage of sharp-edged leaves in the designated direction, damaging enemies over time. Upon reaching level 7 as Ivysaur, it is replaced by either Solar Beam or Petal Dance.

Decidueye can obtain the move by evolving from Dartrix stage at level 7 and upgrading Leafage into it instead of Spirit Shackle. The attack summons whirling razor leaves. While active, Decidueye's basic attack is replaced by a new basic attack that targets all enemies in range, as well as increasing Attack by 10% and basic attack speed. At level 11, it also increases basic attack damage by 2% of the enemies remaining HP. This damage only applies once per attack, not on each of the 3 boosted quills.

Tsareena starts with the move as Bounsweet. The user pelts leaves in the designated direction, dealing damage to enemies hit. The critical-hit rate of this move is higher than that of basic attacks. Upon reaching level 5 as Steenee, it is replaced by either Triple Axel or Stomp.

Trivia

• Razor Leaf is among the three attacks enhanced into "new" moves in the Pokémon Adventures manga, the others being Thunderbolt and Thunder. It also has the longest name of a "move" in any media, being titled by Diamond as "Razor Leaf Dia Special Mach One and Only."
• During Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire, the Finnish and Latin American dubs, probably by mistake, used the same translated name for both Razor Leaf and Leaf Blade, even though the translation fits more accurately on the latter and the original series had already used a different, arguably better-suiting, translation of the first.
  • A similar thing happens in the Brazilian Portuguese dub, with Razor Leaf's and Leaf Blade's names coinciding from Clamperl of Wisdom to From Cradle to Save. It is unknown why this happened in the first place, as Leaf Blade was known as Lâmina de Folha up to The Garden of Eatin'.
