Notes:
* '''Thieving Night Slash:'''
** This buddy move was known as B Night Slash prior to version 2.38.0.
==={{g|UNITE}}===
In Pokémon UNITE, Night Slash is {{p|Absol}}'s first move. It is obtained by reaching level 5 and upgrading {{m|Feint}} into it instead of {{m|Pursuit}}. The user ashes in an arc, damaging and slowing the first Pokémon hit. If the user hits, it can be activated again for a brief period of time – allowing the user to dash, dealing damage to all Pokémon hit. At level 11, the move heals the user heals on hit, and if the damage is a critical hit, the heal doubles
Absol's [[Unite Move]], {{DL|Absol (UNITE)|Unite Move|Midnight Slash}}, is similar to Night Slash.

* The Japanese name '''つじぎり''' (''Crossroad Killing'') refers to the way in which some samurai would test new swords in feudal Japan, known as {{wp|Tsujigiri}}. This was by hiding in wait by a road (typically a crossroads, thus its literal translation) and waiting for an unsuspecting commoner (i.e. lower class, and so with far fewer rights than the samurai class) to pass by. He would then strike to kill, and in this way learn how well his new sword could cut.

Pokémon UNITE

In Pokémon UNITE, Night Slash is Absol's first move. It is obtained by reaching level 5 and upgrading Feint into it instead of Pursuit. The user ashes in an arc, damaging and slowing the first Pokémon hit. If the user hits, it can be activated again for a brief period of time – allowing the user to dash, dealing damage to all Pokémon hit. At level 11, the move heals the user heals on hit, and if the damage is a critical hit, the heal doubles

Absol's Unite Move, Midnight Slash, is similar to Night Slash.

Trivia

  • The Japanese name 「つじぎり」 Tsujigiri (lit. "Crossroad Killing") refers to a way in which some samurai would test new swords in feudal Japan. This was by hiding in wait by a road (typically a crossroads, thus its literal translation) and waiting for an unsuspecting commoner (i.e. lower class, and so with far fewer rights than the samurai class) to pass by. He would then strike to kill, and in this way learn how well his new sword could cut.
