On Smogon's Movedex: Generation VI Generation VII Generation VIII Generation IX

Oblivion Wing (Japanese: デスウイング Death Wing) is a damage-dealing Flying-type move introduced in Generation VI. It is the signature move of Yveltal.

Effect

Oblivion Wing inflicts damage on the target and restores the user's HP by 75% of the damage dealt.

If the user is holding a Big Root, the HP restored is increased by 30%. Big Root does not increase the damage dealt.

If the target has the Ability Liquid Ooze, the user will lose the amount of HP it would have gained instead.

Oblivion Wing cannot be used if the user is under the effects of Heal Block.

Description

Games Description The user absorbs its target's HP. The user's HP is restored by over half of the damage taken by the target.

Trivia

• Oblivion Wing is the only Flying-type move introduced in Generation VI (excluding Flying Press, which only has the type effectiveness of a Flying-type move). It shares this trait with Aeroblast, which was the only Flying-type move introduced in Generation II.
  • Coincidentally, both of these moves are signature moves of Legendary Pokémon that are mascots of their respective generations.
